What Virgin broadband and TV deals are there:
What TV channels are available with Virgin?
After a recent re-branding, Virgin now offers two different TV packages - Mixit and Maxit. With Virgin's Big Bundle you get the Mixit collection of channels whereas all of the other Virgin broadband and TV deals come with Maxit TV.
Mixit TV
Choose a package that uses Mixit TV and you'll get over 120 channels. This is mostly comprised of Freeview channels but throws in a few extras like CNBC, YouTube and +1 versions of Freeview channels.
Maxit TV
Virgin's larger TV package is available on all of the Bigger packages and the Ultimate Oomph option. It supplies a minimum of 216 channels which on top of freeview lands you Sky One, Witness, Arts and Sports in HD, MTV, E!, SyFy, National Geographic, the History Channel and a whole lot more.
Can I get a phone line with Virgin Media broadband?
Every single Virgin broadband and TV deal comes with a phone line. In terms of phone packages, these get better the more you are willing to spend.
If you go for Virgin's regular Big Bundle, Bigger Bundle or any packages that come under these two options, you get anytime weekend calls. Make the upgrade to Virgin's Ultimate Oomph bundle and you get anytime calls.
Virgin does also offer standalone phone plans separate from broadband or TV, if that is something that you are more interested in
Do I have to pay anything up front for Virgin broadband?
Yes, but not a lot. No matter which Virgin Media broadband package you choose, you'll have to pay a one-off £35 activation fee. Virgin has recently started running the occasional promotion where it will cut this fee completely but these are rare.
How long will my Virgin Media contract be?
The standard Virgin broadband contract is for 12 months, after which your monthly price may be subject to change. Virgin does also run 18 month plans on some of its deals so it is worth checking what length is available on the deal you are considering.
But if you're a commitment-phobe, you can choose to go on a flexible 30 day rolling contract instead. The only downside is that you have to pay £65 upfront for the privilege.
