Choosing a package from Virgin Media can be the simplest way to access some of the very fastest broadband in the UK right now. Let's have a look at what we reckon are the best Virgin Media broadband deals with a reward for making the jump.
You can see all the deals available from Virgin Media today, including those bill credit and (when available) gift offers, on our Virgin Media broadband deals comparison page. But, aside from that here's a brief summary of what we think is best right now, and why.
Virgin Media’s top-of-the-line broadband package. It’s quite simply the fastest widely available broadband in the UK with blistering average download speeds of 1130Mbps and they're expanding their coverage all the time.

Virgin Media's M125 fibre broadband only is the best all-round broadband deal if you can get it. Consistent average download speeds of 132Mbps is plenty for most households.

Only mid-tier in their range, but still incredibly quick broadband with average downloads of 516Mbps (and a guaranteed to be least 258Mbps), we think this is all the speed most users would ever need.

£100 bill credit, meaning no charge for the first three months, then less that £11 for month four. Also, Virgin Media are offering a switching credit up to £200.

Much like the Virgin Media broadband-only deals above, there are occasional bill credits, free gifts and reduced monthly cost offers when you choose a broadband and TV bundle. Right now though, Virgin's focus is on price reductions for its broadband-only customers, meaning there aren't any particularly great offers we can draw your attention to. Although they are offering the opportunity to add TNT Sport for only £5pm for the first three months. So that's something, at least.

Let us help guide you to your new broadband deal. We'll check speeds and providers at your home, saving you time and money.
The way Virgin Media offers its new customer rewards is a little different to most providers, and we think all the better for it. Generally, you'll see broadband companies dangling juicy reward cards or even free gifts like TVs or smart speakers (all of which you need to go through an awkward claims procedure to actually get your hands on), but not so Virgin Media. With their most popular broadband packages at least, Virgin generally sticks to offering a 'bill credit' – which basically means a small pile of cash that'll be set aside to cover your first few bills, meaning you'll pay nothing for three or four months. Whilst Virgin avoid making statements like '3 months free', that's often the reality.
So, given that, why don't Virgin just take that money and use it to make the basic price cheaper? We have no idea! But the effective cost is the same at the end of the day, so we'd recommend not looking the bill-credit gift horse in the mouth and have a good look at the excellent value some of these deals can offer.
Just to add that rarely – and usually only with their broadband and TV bundles – they also offer a choice of these bill credits or an actual physical free gift. That's usually something electronic, which in recent times has taken the form of a flatscreen TV, an Amazon Echo or even a video doorbell. So the choice, when they have these offers, will be yours.
You won't find the current set of bill credits or gift offers on their own website, though. These offers are usually exclusive to us here at BestBroadbandDeals.co.uk, so in order to take advantage you'll likely have to click through to the Virgin Media deal from here.

Of course, Virgin Media isn't the only game in town when it comes to offering cashback or gift cards to new customers.

In the meantime here are a few select alternatives should you want to shop around.
