Virgin Media broadband rewards: Right now, just great prices
Dan Howdle • May 13th, 2026
Choosing a package from Virgin Media has always been one of the simplest ways to access some the very fastest broadband in the UK. Let's have a look at what we reckon are the best Virgin Media broadband deals with, or even without, a reward for making the jump.
Virgin Media broadband with rewards
You can see all the deals available from Virgin Media today, including those (when available) bill credit and gift offers, on our Virgin Media broadband deals comparison page. Recently, Virgin Media have been moving away from that approach and choosing to just offer straight-forward low prices, especially for their broadband only packages. And that's something we wholeheartedly approve of. So, here's a brief summary of what we think is best right now, and why.
1. Virgin Media M250 Fibre Broadband
£18.99 per month • Zero upfront cost
The second tier in Virgin Media’s selection of very fast fibre broadband deals, we reckon the 264Mb downloads will suit households where several people could be streaming or gaming at the same time.
The current price of only £18.99 per month represents about the best value fixed-line broadband on offer in the UK today. It's a remarkable deal, and almost certainly won't be around for long.

Effective monthly cost is calculated by adding up all the monthly costs, price rises and any discounts and dividing it by the contract length.
2. Virgin Media M500 Fibre Broadband
£21.99 per month • No upfront cost
Mid-tier in their range, but still incredibly quick broadband with average downloads of 516Mbps (and a guaranteed to be at least 258Mbps), we think this is a wonderful compromise.
For only a few pounds per month more than their M250 package, you can get double the speed. We don't think most households actually need that, but for the small extra outlay this might be too good to pass up.

3. Virgin Media Gig1 Fibre Broadband
£24.99 per month • Zero upfront cost
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.
More speed than almost anyone needs, but if you want the best buck-for-the-bang, this is probably the best option out there.

2. Virgin Media Max Volt
£125 bill credit • £78.99 per month • Zero upfront cost
This is Virgin Media's flagship broadband and TV bundle, offering staggeringly fast 1.1Gbps broadband along with over 230 channels delivered via Virgin Media WiFi Hub and Stream box. Sky Cinema HD, Sky Sports HD and a Netflix subscription are included, along with an unlimited O2 SIM card.

Virgin Media Broadband and TV bundles
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.

How do Virgin Media rewards work?
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.
