Virgin Media UK Sale Cuts £7 Off Standalone 50-300Mbps Broadband

Cable ISP Virgin Media has launched a sale of their standalone 50Mbps to 300Mbps ultrafast broadband packages (no phone service required), which cuts £7 off the monthly rental for the first 12 month contract term. Customers also need to pay a £20 one-off activation fee.

Customers can expect to receive a Hub 3.0 (SuperHub v3) wireless router, unlimited usage, access to Virgin’s WiFi hotspots (e.g. London Underground Stations), internet security / parental controls and free email. Some people may also be charged £40 for a standard installation if the usual £20 doesn’t cover the extra work needed. A 30 day contract option is available but the discounts don’t apply to that.

VIVID 50Mbps
Price: £33 £26 per month for 12 months

VIVID 100Mbps
Price: £38 £31 per month for 12 months

VIVID 200Mbps
Price: £43 £36 per month for 12 months

VIVID 300Mbps
Price: £48 £41 per month for 12 months

The operator is also continuing to offer a similarly aggressive discount on their regular broadband bundles with phone etc. We are currently unsure how long the new offers will be available to order before they expire. On top of that it’s worth remembering that they’re about to introduce a new 350Mbps top tier to their service (here), although technically they’ve been offering this for awhile even if it’s not yet on their public front end products page.
