Re: 'broadband only' Price and History.

hello

I am wondering, is there a 'broadband only' M50? (less bandwidth for one device, maybe two?)

What is the slowest VM broadband only deal/cost for existing customers from May 2024 and onward?

Thank you for your help.

p.s i was doing absolutely fine on 1Mb . just pottering about the net, watching 720p on YouTube ( the same i do today) about 10-15 or so years ago  Now i'm getting hundreds of times that bandwidth at more than twice the cost, which is amazing, really,  but I don't need the band width. I am paying for something i don't need.  And now its going up in price again. 😞

      Thank you

      (edit *i did not see, initially, that the link includes a phone with the m50)

      I still see such unusual price variations. On the page you linked me to, it said to the effect= m50 with 18 months contract at £28 (new customers, i presume). Then "£51.00  thereafter"

      However a person on the forum said , from nov 2023 (approx 4-5 months ago)

      "Hey guys, I'm currently with virgin media. I'm coming to the end of my contract currently paying £44.80 for the M500 Fibre. I'm being offered an upgrade for the Gig1 Fiber for £52.00 Is this a good deal?"

      1gig figbre at £52

      v

      m50 at  £51.  (edit with phone)

      I wonder if the m50 can be ordered without a phone?

      thanking you.

        Hi endused 

        You should speak to retentions (thinking of leaving) and negotiate a deal with them.

        Also, if you are receiving benefits** have a look at VM's  < Essential Broadband> which is 15Mbps for £12.50 a month.  There is  also Essential Broadband Plus (50Mbps for £20 a month) and Essential Broadband Plus with Stream (50Mbps for £20 a month)  Stream is TV over the internet.

        ** You ned to be on Universal Credit, Pension Credit, Income Support , Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance or Income-based Employment Support Allowance to qualify for VM's Essential Broadband deals.
