Virgin broadband deal – Get double speed and a free Amazon Echo device

Virgin Media

We reckon all that weekend sun must have gone to Virgin Media’s head. It has decided to launch two simultaneous perks with its super fast broadband deals to try and bring in new customers. 

Firstly, its doubled the speed of all its VIVID 50 and 100 broadband and TV plans. So that means average speeds of 108Mb where you would have previously got 54Mb, and a staggering 213Mb instead of 108Mb. We’re talking potential downloads of 26MB per second – as sizzling as the weekend’s weather.

But we promised you two perks. And the second comes in the form of a FREE Amazon Echo device. That’s the full blown Amazon Echo (worth £90) with the majority of Virgin’s premium broadband and TV deals, and the £50 Echo Dot for all of its other internet plans. And if you already have an Echo or simply aren’t bothered, you can choose bill credit to the equivalent value instead.

But don’t delay – Virgin’s flash sale ends at midnight this Wednesday.

Which Virgin broadband deal should I get?

The first thing we would suggest doing is either heading to our dedicated Virgin Media broadband page or straight to the bottom of this article. The former has a list of all the best deals you can choose from today, along with a bundle of other great buying advice to help you decide. While heading to the comparison chart at the bottom of this page has up-to-the-minute pricing and package information on all Virgin Media’s internet offerings.

Is Virgin fibre broadband available in my area?

Around 60% of the UK households are now able to receive superfast Virgin broadband. It’s easy to discover whether you’re one of the lucky 3-in-5 – head to the price comparison chart at the bottom of this page, enter your postcode where indicated and if deals show as available then you’re laughing.

If no results are returned, then head to our best broadband deals page instead and do exactly the same thing to see whether you can get superfast fibre broadband with another provider, such as BT Superfast.
