Virgin Media broadband packages run on Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) which means that Virgin use their own cables to bring broadband straight to your home. Because of this, switching to Virgin Media may require some digging to be done by engineers outside your property to get you connected. This is one of the reasons why it’s not available to everyone.
For just £52 per month, you could receive a massive 1130Mbps download speed with Virgin Media’s Gig1 Fibre Broadband. This is enough to have everyone online streaming in Ultra HD, gaming, and video calling at the same time.
Unfortunately, Gig1 Fibre Broadband is available in even fewer locations than Virgin Media’s other fibre packages, however, Virgin is working on making this available to a huge number of cities by the end of 2021 and more going forward.
