4G Mobile Upgrade Finally Coming to Virgin Media in October 2016

Thursday, Sep 8th, 2016 (10:46 am) - Score 9,173

After a long wait Virgin Media has finally confirmed that their EE powered Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) platform, Virgin Mobile, will finally be fully upgraded to support the latest 4G (LTE) technology from next month.

At present you can already get the faster 4G data services on Virgin Mobile via the 800MHz, 1800MHz and 2600MHz radio spectrum bands, but only if you’re a business customer and otherwise it’s all 3G, all the time for their normal domestic focused tariffs. This has put Virgin Mobile behind a lot of their competitors.

Sadly we don’t yet have any details of the new tariffs and Virgin Media has promised to provide more before the launch. We’ll be particularly interested to see if the new tariffs include bigger data allowances and a softening of Virgin Mobile’s stance against the use of Tethering, although strictly speaking their no-tethering clause isn’t aggressively enforced unless somebody is found to be making excessive use.
