Cable operator Virgin Media<\/a> UK has announced that “selected customers<\/em>” of their broadband ISP and TV network will be able to sign-up to an exclusive offer for Plume<\/a>‘s smart home services bundle (separate to their current VM subscription), which will enable them to receive the AI and Cloud powered WiFi<\/a> boosting kit.<\/p>\n

Some may recall that TalkTalk<\/a> was the first ISP to offer this earlier in 2019, although it’s also now possible to purchase Plume’s mesh style system independently of any ISP for \u00a399 per year. The product essentially consists of several “SuperPod<\/em>” devices (similar size to plug-in WiFi<\/a> extenders), one of which must connect directly into your Hub 3.0 router via an Ethernet cable, and an app to help manage them.<\/p>\n

The service also adds customisable guest access for your network, as well as parental controls and various security features. Apparently only a “select number of Virgin Media<\/a> customers will be invited to sign-up to Plume and they will receive a notification via email or when logging in to their My Virgin Media<\/a> account<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

For those who get an invite there will be a range of options available, including a three-pod Plume package for \u00a36 per month.<\/p>\n

Richard Sinclair, VM Executive Director of Connectivity, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“As speed leaders in the UK, Virgin Media never stands still and is always looking to make Britain faster. We constantly explore new and innovative ways to improve connectivity for our customers in a way that suits their needs in the home. This is why we are working with Plume to offer a range of products to selected customers.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fahri Diner, CEO of Plume, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Plume is honoured to be partnering with Virgin Media to build on their commitment to bring customers the best Internet experience possible through reliable whole-home Wi-Fi, personalised parental controls & guest access, and tightly secured & protected devices. Together, Virgin Media\u2019s broadband offering and Plume\u2019s suite of services create a powerful solution for the ever-changing smart home.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
