Existing customers will not see their package change as a result of these bundle updates unless they make a change to their services and agree a new deal with us. Should existing customers want to alter their package, we\u2019re happy to review their options to ensure they can enjoy a great-value plan that suits their needs.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The ISP claims that, as well as beating a comparable package from Sky (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/bskyb\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Sky Broadband<\/a>), customers still &#8220;<em>get great value<\/em>&#8221; from the package, including an unlimited <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/o2uk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">O2<\/a> SIM, O2 Travel, Sky Sports and Sky Cinema in HD and their latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/wifi\">WiFi<\/a> guarantee &#8220;<em>at no extra cost<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>Virgin also notes that the bundled O2 SIM allows customers to take O2 Extra at no additional cost for up to six months (e.g. Disney+, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/amazon\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a> Prime, Audible, Cafeyn, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/amazon\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a> Music Unlimited, McAfee Mobile Security Plus or O2\u2019s International Bolt On) &#8211; this saves money (e.g. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/amazon\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a> Prime is usually \u00a38.99 per month), provided any of that is of interest.<\/p>\n<p>On the TNT point, VMO2 again said it was to do with \u201c<em>simplifying<\/em>\u201d their packages so customers can choose whether they want to add sport channels or not. But the standard price of re-adding that will still be \u00a318, although Virgin said their customer service team will be happy to discuss options and offers with existing customers who would like to change their package, but keep TNT Sports.<\/p>\n<p>However, we should point out that Virgin Media frequently run special offers on their bundles, and we have it on good authority that their Mega Volt Bundle may soon be sold alongside a 1Gbps speed again (expected early next week). But this will only be for a short flash sale, rather than as a standard feature of the package.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some of Virgin Media and O2&#8217;s UK broadband and mobile customers have, in recent weeks, reported having noticed a few changes to the combined operator&#8217;s &#8220;Volt&#8221; bundles, which appears to have quietly resulted in some significant feature downgrades (slower internet speeds, fewer extras etc.) and higher prices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":32575,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[61,406,419,56,42,60,32,475],"class_list":["post-35778","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-4g","tag-5g","tag-docsis3-1","tag-fttp","tag-iptv","tag-mobile-broadband","tag-o2","tag-virgin-media"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
