Virgin Media has unveiled a promotion featuring what it describes as the ‘lowest ever’ prices on select high-speed broadband packages. New customers can now access super-fast internet speeds, with offers that significantly undercut competitors.
The promotional deals include a plan for 264Mbps downloads at just £23.99 per month, while those seeking even greater speed can opt for 516Mbps at £27.99 monthly. For the highest tier, 1Gbps speeds are available for £30.99, allowing users to download a full HD movie in under 40 seconds—over ten times faster than the average UK connection.
Comparative Pricing and Competitors
In comparison, BT charges £34.99 for a 900Mbps plan, which is £4 more than Virgin’s top offering, as reported by the Express. Virgin Media’s promotional prices do come with a commitment of a 24-month contract, and customers should note that an annual price increase of £4 will take effect every April.
While Virgin Media’s deals are attractive, other providers are also competing for customers. Vodafone, for example, offers 150Mbps speeds for £23 per month and 500Mbps for £25 per month. Similar to Virgin, Vodafone’s prices are subject to an annual increase each April.
Alternative Providers and Fixed Prices
Consumers may also want to consider smaller alternative networks that often provide competitive pricing in certain regions of the UK. Community Fibre, for instance, has 300Mbps speeds for £21 per month and 1Gbps downloads for £25 per month. Notably, these prices are fixed, offering customers protection from unexpected price hikes.
As the broadband market continues to evolve, consumers are encouraged to shop around to find the best deal that suits their internet needs. Whether opting for Virgin Media, Vodafone, or smaller providers, the current promotional landscape offers various options for those looking to upgrade their broadband service.
