Virgin Media is opening up the UK Broadband market with its offering of broadband services in cabled areas. Virgin is one of the newer companies to offer broadband internet in the UK, and since they’re fighting to gain market share, they’re offering quite a few attractive deals. If you’ve been considering moving from dial-up to a broadband connection, Virgin Media Broadband might offer a bundle that will make sense for your situation.
Since December 2008, when Virgin Media launched its 50Mb service, it has been the exclusive provider of that speed of service. No one else offers speeds that high. Virgin Media also offers a 10Mb service and a 20Mb service for those who don’t need the higher download limits. If you don’t regularly play online games or download entire movies, one of the lower limits might suit you just fine. The broadband plans with lower limits cost less per month, as well, and may suit your pocketbook better.
And since Virgin Media is a full-service media company, you can often save money by bundling your phone service with your internet service. Now that “media services”, including telephone, television and internet can be sold by more companies than just BT, you can often make deals by picking and choosing. Sometimes selecting services from two or three different companies will provide what you need; other times “bundling” with one company will not only get you what you want, but save you money as well.
For residential power users, though, the Virgin Media 50Mb cable service is an option you’ll probably want to explore.
