Virgin Media TV & Broadband

Virgin TV & Broadband: What's on offer?

Virgin Media offers two main TV options: pre-made bundles that combine broadband with TV, and its newer streaming-based Flex TV service.

Pre-made bundles are built around how much TV content a user gets, but also vary in terms of the broadband speed included.

The addition of Volt bundles allows customers to upgrade broadband speeds while choosing only the TV content they want, as Volt boosts broadband to the next speed tier.

Virgin Media TV plans include Entertainment, Cinema and Sport options, and go right up to the top tier Max Volt Bundle, which includes everything available.

Customers can also choose to add Flex TV to their broadband deal, which offers over 150 TV channels (including Freeview), plus options to add premium channel packs on a rolling monthly basis.

New customer offers

The TV and broadband bundles listed on this page are for new customers to Virgin Media.

To be eligible, customers must not have had an active Virgin Media account for at least the last 3 months. Offers for existing customers are likely to vary, but we have a guide on negotiating a new contract with Virgin here.

Prices and offers can vary on Choose from those available on Virgin Media's website directly. It's important to click through on the 'Get deal' buttons and sign up via Virgin's online checkout cart to ensure you get the prices and offers listed here.

New customer offers may include discounted introductory pricing, occasional bill credit, and time-limited promotional deals.

The best value for money tends to be found when customers take one of the pre-made bundles listed here, as they offer very good value for money over the broadband-only plans.

Key terms for Virgin bundle deals

Virgin Media TV and broadband deals come with 24-month minimum terms. This means customers can't cancel their services within the minimum term without incurring early termination fees.

Contracts taken out with Virgin Media after 2 April 2023 are no longer subject to a cap on the total amount a customer can be charged for leaving early. That means early termination fees could now be much more expensive.

It's also worth remembering Virgin Media bundle prices tend to go up after the minimum term as customers become 'out of contract'. While these prices can be high, Virgin Media should send out notifications to let customers know when their minimum term is coming to an end, and the options available to them. For example, customers can either choose to switch away or negotiate a new deal with Virgin.

Customers who sign up after October 2025 are subject to annual price rises, with the monthly price increasing by £4 each April.

Those on Volt deals will also see the O2 mobile part of the bundle increase by £2.50 per month.

Finally, equipment provided as part of the Virgin TV and broadband service, including TV boxes and routers, remain property of Virgin and may be requested to be sent back if a customer ends their service.
