Telecoms giants Virgin Media and O2 UK (VMO2) have today announced a refresh of their Volt bundles, which enable customers to combine both the broadband and mobile services of both providers into a single package at a discounted rate. New and upgrading customers who purchase a Volt bundle can now choose between a Classic, Plus or Ultimate Plan.
