If you want to secure the biggest discount on offer, look no further than the Biggest Combo bundle.
With this all-singing, all-dancing package, you'll take delivery of a Virgin TV 360 set-top box with all Sky Sports and Sky Cinema channels to watch in High Definition (HD) alongside over 210 other paid-for and free-to-watch channels. If that isn’t enough to keep you occupied, there’s also a Netflix subscription included. If you're an existing Netflix viewer, you can carry over your profile and let Virgin Media settle the bill each month.
When it comes to internet speed, Virgin Media offers two pre-built versions of its Biggest Combo, with either its M500 broadband package, with average download speeds of 516Mbps, or Gig1, with faster 1,130Mbps.
Regardless of which broadband speed you choose, the Biggest Combo bundle comes with Virgin Media's WiFi guarantee, promising minimum download speeds of 30Mbps in every room or £100 credit back.
Of course, you can customise and tweak every aspect of these packages at checkout — so you'll be able to add more premium channels, faster broadband, landline calls, and more. Prices for the Biggest Combo start from £69 per month — a saving of £28 every single month.

Whatever you decide, Virgin Media's Winter Sale is only around until February 5, 2025. If you lock-in one of these discounts, the price cut will be valid for the duration of your new 24-month contract.
If you're looking for a fuss-free upgrade to speedy full-fibre broadband,Plusnet will pay you £50 to switch to its internet plans.
Virgin Media has its own nationwide broadband network, which is available in over 16 million homes. According to Uswitch, Virgin Media customers enjoy the highest average download speeds of all internet providers.
It's completely separate from BT-owned Openreach, which is used by broadband suppliers like BT, EE, Sky, TalkTalk, and Plusnet to connect customers to the internet.
Switching from an Openreach-operated broadband connection to Virgin Media will become infinitely easier in the coming months as rival telecom brands have agreed to adopt a new so-called "one touch" system that will bring parity across all full-fibre networks in the UK for the first time.
Virgin Media uses a different technology, which offers download speeds of over 1,100Mbps at every address on its network. In comparison, Openreach is halfway through planned upgrades to connect millions of properties to next-generation full-fibre broadband.
Following the merger between Virgin Media and O2 back in June 2021, anyone who signs up for Virgin Media will be eligible for O2 Priority. The loyalty scheme offers discounted cinema tickets, coffees and lunch deals from the biggest high street chains, as well as early access to gig tickets.
There's a 14-day cooling off period with all of the above deals, so you'll be able to downgrade your bundle, tweak the fibre broadband speeds, or walk away entirely if you're not satisfied.
Live and on-demand television will be available via the Virgin TV 360 box, the latest set-top box from the company with support for 4K Ultra HD picture quality, voice search to quickly find the show, actor or director that you're looking for — across linear channels and libraries from your favourite streaming apps. There's also dedicated profiles for every member of the family, so you'll be able to separate everyone's viewing habits and suggestions for new boxsets and films will be better tailored to individuals.
You'll also be able to stream from the TV 360 box on up to five of your devices, using Virgin TV Go. Or add up to two additional Virgin TV Mini boxes for an extra charge, so there’s no more fighting over the remote!
