Virgin Media UK Discounts Standalone 50-300Mbps Cable Broadband Prices

Friday, Sep 29th, 2017 (7:01 am) - Score 7,335

Cable network Virgin Media has today cut the prices of their 50Mbps to 300Mbps range of standalone broadband packages for the first 12 months of service (new customers). At the same time they’ve also increased the prices on some of their bundles (i.e. broadband, phone and /or TV).

All new customers are subject to a 12 month contract (a 30 day contract option does exist but the discounts don’t apply) and receive an included Hub wireless router, unlimited usage, access to Virgin’s WiFi hotspots (e.g. London Underground Stations), internet security / parental controls and free email. On top of that a £20 one-off activation applies and some people may also be charged £40 for a standard installation.

VIVID 50Mbps
Price: £27 per month for 12 months (£33 thereafter)

VIVID 100Mbps
Price: £32 per month for 12 months (£38 thereafter)

VIVID 200Mbps
Price: £37 per month for 12 months (£43 thereafter)

VIVID 300Mbps
Price: £42 per month for 12 months (£48 thereafter)

Elsewhere the operator has also tweaked their existing 12 month discounts on dual (broadband and phone) and triple-play (broadband, TV and phone) bundles. For example, the dual 50Mbps package with free UK weekend calls has gone from £27 a month for 12 months (£40 thereafter) to £29 a month for 12 months (£40 thereafter) and the same increase is seen on their faster options.

However there’s better news for those opting to take a triple-play bundle because the post-discount price has been reduced, although it’s worth remembering that by the time you finish your contract the post discount price may have been hiked again. For example, the 50Mbps triple-play “Player bundle” was £33 a month for 12 months (£56 thereafter) but this is now £35 a month for 12 months and then £48 thereafter.

Take note that Virgin Media’s cable (EuroDOCSIS) network currently covers a little over half of UK premises, albeit mostly in urban areas. However their network is expected to reach around 60-65% of the UK by 2019, which reflects their on-going expansion to a further 4 million premises (2 million of which will be served via “full fibreFTTP).
