Real speeds depend on your wiring, the time of day and how many devices are online. WiFi usually delivers less than the figure above — see our guide on what average speed actually means.
Advertised "from" prices for new customers, captured from Virgin Media's own website. What you pay depends on your postcode and the promotion running at the time. Linefinder does not sell, install or support any broadband service.
How it works
Three steps, no sales script.
The whole point is to get you to the provider's checkout better informed — not to keep you on our site for another ten minutes.
Step 1
Enter your postcode
Availability isn't national — it's street level. We check which networks actually reach your address, so you're not comparing packages you can't buy.
Step 2
Compare the real numbers
Monthly price after the introductory period, contract length, mid-contract rises, setup fees. Laid out side by side, in the same format, every time.
Step 3
Buy direct from the provider
You finish the order on the provider's own site. We never handle your payment details, and we never call you afterwards.
How we make money
Providers may pay us a commission. You pay the same price either way.
When someone clicks through to a provider and signs up, that provider may pay us a referral fee. It never changes what you pay, and it doesn't buy a higher position — our ordering is by price and fit, and we say so on every card that earns us money.

Provider profile
About Virgin Media
Virgin Media is a UK broadband, TV and mobile provider that runs its own cable network rather than renting lines from Openreach. That's the main reason its speeds and prices look different from BT-based providers — and also why it's simply not available on some streets.
Where it is available, it tends to be the fastest option at the address, and bundles TV and streaming apps into the same bill. Where it isn't, no amount of comparing will change that — which is why step one is always the postcode check.

Before you buy
Four things the advert won't tell you.
01
Speed you'll actually use
A 4K stream needs about 25 Mbps. Two people working from home plus a console is still under 200 Mbps for most households. Paying for gigabit you can't saturate is the most common overspend we see.
02
The price after the intro period
The big number on the advert is usually month 1–18. Ask what it becomes in month 19, and whether there's an annual rise written into the contract — most now rise every April by CPI plus a set amount.
03
Contract length and exit cost
18 months is standard; 24 months is not unusual. Leaving early usually means paying the remaining months. If you might move, check whether the contract moves with you.
04
Setup, activation and delivery
Self-install is normally free; an engineer visit often isn't. Activation can take 10–14 days on cable networks, so don't leave it until the day your old contract ends.

Questions
Straight answers.
If something here still isn't clear, the answer is probably that we don't do it — we're a comparison site, not a provider.
No. Linefinder is an independent comparison site. We are not Virgin Media, we are not owned by them, and we are not acting as their agent. Any order you place happens on the provider's own website, under their terms.
