Here’s how to save money on your broadband with Virgin Media discounts
Internet speeds slowing to a crawl? Don’t switch providers before scoping out some vouchers
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Our home broadband connections are working harder than ever, with everything from our smartphones and laptops to our TVs and tablets demanding more bandwidth and faster download speeds.
Broadband providers have raced to keep up with the increased demand, expanding the UK’s fibre-optic network to reach 95 per cent of homes across the country. Despite improvements, it’s where you live that still mostly determines the best internet speeds you can expect. City-dwellers are more likely to get access to the faster full-fibre broadband, while those in the countryside can expect slower speeds, as some part of the connection will use copper telephone wire.
Thankfully, internet speeds are now faster than ever across the board, so if your home broadband connection is starting to wheeze there’s never been a better time to switch providers and unlock better speeds.
If you’re thinking of making the switch to Virgin Media, The Independent has a range of exclusive discount codes that could save you money on your next broadband deal. We’ve highlighted a few of our top picks below, but be sure to check out the full list of Virgin Media vouchers to find the latest deals on packages available in your area.
Virgin Media discount codes
£100 bill credit and £0 set up fee on select bundles
The most popular Virgin Media voucher scraps the usual £35 set-up fee and credits your account with £100 to get you started. The offer is available on Virgin Media’s M500 fibre broadband package which has an average download speed of 516Mbps, more than enough for several devices streaming in 4K.
£50 in cash when you refer a friend
If you refer a friend to Virgin Media or Virgin Media O2 Volt, you’ll both receive £50 in cash with this code. You’ll be given a unique referral code for your friend to use during sign-up, and the cash money will be whizzed into your account once they’ve used the service for 60 days.
Get M500 broadband for £35 per month
One of Virgin Media’s most popular broadband packages, M500 aims for a solid 500 megabit connection to your home, which is more than enough speed for heavy users, online gamers and gadget-filled homes. This voucher gives you free set-up and brings the monthly cost down to £35.
