What to consider when picking a broadband deal?
Finding the best broadband deal for you takes some time and research. We’ve made it easier for you and outlined some factors to take into consideration.
Price
You know what to check. Does your ideal broadband fit your monthly budget? Are there any upfront costs such as a setup fee? If you’re considering the more affordable options, does the deal really meet your needs and offer the best value for money?
Internet speeds
Casual browsing and smaller households will generally need less internet speed. Larger households and more heavy internet users will need an internet deal with more speed (we do offer the UK’s fastest widely available broadband). Whatever your needs, we have broadband deals to suit you.
Contract length
Just so you know, most of our broadband deals come on standard 18 month contracts, except Essential broadband for low-income families, student broadband packages with flexible rolling broadband contracts, and a few other deals.
Usage
If you’re a large household and frequently download music and films, you may need more data, than other households. The good news is that all our broadband deals come with unlimited downloads.
Broadband packages
It’s most likely that if you’re purchasing broadband you’ll also be interested in landline, TV and SIMs. It’s worth looking at our broadband, tv and phone deals as they bring the most value.
Location
Depending on where you are in the UK, we will determine which broadband deals and speeds are available in your area. Use our handy broadband postcode checker to see what deals you can get.

Our broadband deals may have a setup fee of around £35. If your home is already connected to our network, you can choose to install our services yourself with our QuickStart kit. Get it delivered at no extra cost either to your home or to a collection point with Click & Collect.
If your home has a connection to the Virgin Media network, or if it’s been connected before and you’d prefer not to install your services yourself, we'll send a technician to get you set up. This usually has an installation fee of £40, unless your deal includes free installation.

Broadband is service supplied to you by broadband providers like Virgin Media. It is connection that a router of hub uses to connect your home to the internet.
