Virgin Media Business Launch 2Gbps Symmetric Speed UK Broadband Plans
Back in May 2026 we reported (here) that broadband ISP Virgin Media Business (VMB) were preparing to introduce new packages for small business customers that would offer symmetric speeds via their latest XGS-PON based full fibre (FTTP) network at speeds of up to 2Gbps (2,000Mbps). ISPreview has spotted that they’ve now quietly introduced the new plans.
The move, which finally sees VMB catching up with their consumer division, includes the introduction of five new symmetric speed (same speed both ways) packages ranging from 200Mbps and all the way up to 2,000Mbps. Customers of this service appear set to receive a variant of the same Hub 5x router as used on Virgin Media’s consumer broadband packages and will have the option of adding Static IP addresses.
A quick test by some of our readers (special credit to Clive) shows that customers in Virgin’s Hybrid Fibre Coax (HFC) network areas are still limited to speeds of up to 1Gbps on the old packages. So as expected you’ll need to be in one of the operator’s newer XGS-PON powered Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network areas to take the new tiers (via Virgin Media or nexfibre).

Take note that Virgin’s mid-contract price hikes policy does apply, which means that your monthly prices will rise by +£3.50 (exc. VAT) every April. In addition, VMB also offers “Daisy Full Fibre” plans in areas outside of their network patch (off-net), which harnesses Openreach’s FTTP lines. But they don’t like to talk about that too much 🙂 .

Note that with VMB the fix time is working hours, and that although they portray it is a superior service to residential, it’s the same engineers with the same availability.
I am guessing that is the same for all ISP’s that sell a resi and Business service on the same infrastructure?
