Virgin Media Cut Standalone Ultrafast Broadband Prices by £7

Cable ISP Virgin Media UK has moved to discount the monthly price of their solo standalone broadband (no phone required) packages by £7 for new customers. For example, their entry-level 54Mbps plan drops to just £30 per month and 362Mbps falls to £45 per month for the first 12 months of service.

As usual all new subscribers will receive a Hub 3.0 wireless router (Hub 4.0 on 1Gig), a 12 month minimum term contract, unlimited usage, access to Virgin’s UK network of WiFi hotspots, internet security / parental controls and email. A £35 one-off setup fee must also be paid. However Virgin Media’s packages now include a warning to say their prices “may change at any point during the contract” (Virgin has not yet adopted fixed price plans).

Admittedly the new discount prices are still a little bit more expensive than Virgin’s combined broadband and phone bundles (here), although the post contract prices on standalone broadband are generally several pounds per month cheaper than their phone bundles. Otherwise the new pricing is set to last until 11:59pm on 13th November 2019.

Meanwhile Virgin Media’s TV Bundles have also been given an additional incentive in the way of 12 months free Amazon Prime Video (usually £79) and that’s on top of their existing discounts.
