Virgin Media

Virgin Media logoVirgin Media was founded in 2006 after two of the UK’s biggest cable providers NTL and Telewest merged together. It became the first company to offer TV, broadband, mobile and home phone packages, and was one of the first to introduce fibre optic broadband to the UK.

Virgin Media has a reputation as the fastest broadband available, and is suitable for those looking to use their internet across multiple devices. The downside is that it can get pretty expensive, with prices ranging from £28 to £42 and above per month, and an extra £35 set up fee on all contracts.

The minimum duration of all contracts is 12 months, after which the fee per month increases and you have the option to swap providers.

It is also offering Gig1 fibre broadband, the fastest in the uk for £62 per month and £35 set up fee. Gig1 is only available for a minimum of 18 months, and the price is fixed for 24 months.

If you are a student, it is worth doing a quick search for any student deals which may be going on.
