Our Review Of Virgin Media Fibre Optic Cable Broadband Packages
Virgin Media offer 3 stand alone fibre optic cable broadband packages, 10Mb, 20Mb and up to 50Mb, plus 2 ADSL packages, with prices starting from £12.50 a month. All packages are unlimited, meaning you can spend unlimited time online and with unlimited downloads, there's no usage caps or limits to worry about (Acceptable Use Policy Applies). So, unlike other ISP's, Virgin Media doesn't put limits on the amount of music, films or whatever else you want to download. And that's not all, their fibre optic cable broadband service is always up to speed because it doesn't slow down the further you live from the telephone exchange (the way it does with the old copper telephone wires used by other broadband providers).Virgin Broadband Size L

Review Of The Virgin Media Broadband, Phone & TV Bundle (3 for £14 per month)
For £14 per month you can enjoy unlimited 10Mb broadband, unlimited weekend local and national phone calls, plus over 45 digital TV channels when you take a Virgin phone line. It's worth noting that weekend phone calls after 60 minutes in length will be charged at 3p a minute, so we recommend you simply redial before 60 minutes is up to avoid the call charges. Also, this calls package excludes non-geographic (eg 0845, 0870 etc) mobile, international, premium and internet calls which are charged at standard rates. Please click here to go to the Virgin Media website for more information - you'll receive FREE installation, saving you £35, if you order this package online.Review Of The Virgin Media Triple Package - Broadband, Phone & TV for £22.50 per month

Our Final Comment And Rating For Virgin Media Broadband Packages |
|---|
| It's great to see Richard Branson bring the Virgin brand and its ethos to the broadband sector. In such a short space of time the ex ntl Telewest firm, often plagued by its poor customer service and cable footprint, has been reignited by the Virgin way of thinking. There's been significant investment and training in customer service, whilst its range of broadband, phone and TV packages have been simplified to offer great value. Whether you're in the market for either a stand alone super fast fibre optic broadband package or a TV, phone and broadband bundle, Virgin Media have it covered and at low prices too. Expect more low priced bundles and a focus on fast fibre optic broadband as Branson battle with Sky hots up.....note, the new exclusive 3 months FREE 10Mb broadband offer which is one not to be missed while their new 50Mb next generation broadband service is the ultimate for downloading, streaming video & online gaming! It's the fastest broadband in the UK and is now FREE for the first 2 months, then just £28 a month after. |
