Virgin Media isn't available to every home in the UK. In fact, only around 60% of UK homes can get it. However, if you're lucky enough to live somewhere you can, it represents one of the most straightforward ways to get very, very fast broadband. Here we take a look at the best Virgin Media broadband deal that offer some form of cashback reward for signing up as a new customer.
The situation with cashback rewards with Virgin Media is a little unusual. Its main competitors tend to put the focus on cashback reward cards you have to manually claim at a set time after you're up and running. Virgin Media on the other hand tends to usually have one form of sale or another on at any given time, offering lower monthly bills than the 'standard price'.
Virgin Media also offers offer cashback rewards in addition to reduced monthly costs. Rather than taking the form of either a reward card you can spend anywhere, or a gift card you have to spend with a specific retailer, Virgin Media offers its cashback in the form of bill credit. The money is simply taken off your bill.
More rarely, and usually exclusive to their broadband and TV bundles, Virgin sometimes also offers a choice of bill credit or free gift. The gift usually being something electronic, with anything from a flatscreen TV to and Amazon Echo or even a video doorbell being offered recently.
You won't find the current crop of bill credit or gift offers on the Virgin Media website, however. These deals are exclusive to us at BestBroadbandDeals.co.uk, so in order to take advantage of one of them you'll have to click through to the Virgin Media deal from here.
You can see every deal available from Virgin Media right now, including any bill credit and gift offers, in our complete comparison page. For now though, here are the best deals available right now that come with cashback rewards.
You'll get everything with this deal that you do with Virgin's most popular M125 package, and quite a bit more. You'll get faster download and upload speeds (264Mbps and 25Mbps respectively), doubling the download speed, which will suit larger households and is especially advisable if anyone in your household is a serious gamer. You won't get a phone line here either, but again, if that's something you need you can add it into your bundle as you go. As with the M125 deal, you'll get a , so close to no bills at all for the first couple of months.
For really fast broadband, short of going slightly overboard and ordering an M500 (516Mbps) or Gig1 deal (1.1Gbps), Virgin Media's M350 is in that comfy spot where you have epically fast speeds capable of literally anything you throw at it (362Mbps average), without the associated high cost of a flagship product. You'll also see much faster upload speeds (36Mbps average), there's no upfront cost, and currently there's a . So again, more than enough credit to pay the bill for a few months.
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 Virgin's focus is on price reductions, and in that area there's one stand out deal we'd like to draw your attention to.
Right now, Virgin Media's Biggest Combo TV Bundle is, we believe, excellent value. It's £78.99 a month, comes with a huge £200 bill credit (or you can choose a 43" HiSense TV) and there are no no up-front or installation costs. For that you'll see excellent download speeds of over 500Mbps, with uploads over 50Mbps, and more than 210 TV channels (including Sky Cinema and Sky Sports options). There's also Sky Entertainment and a Netflix subscription thrown in. All told, that's a lot for the money and probably the best value we're aware of right now when it comes to broadband and TV packages.
Let us help guide you to your new broadband deal. We'll check speeds and providers at your home, saving you time and money.
Virgin Media doesn't offer reward cards or traditional cashback at the time of writing. Instead it offers bill credit amounts – exclusive to BestBroadbandDeals.co.uk. Unlike reward cards you won't need to remember to claim these, they will simply be applied to your future bill.
Some of these package offer a gift alternative to the bill credit. You will need to choose these during the sign-up process if you would rather have the gift or gifts.
