Hey
Do Virgin offer something similar to Sky, where you can get the Sky UHD + Netflix as a bundle?

Hi @oxfordmark
The VM website has been updated today to show that there are some new bundles with Netflix included.
Netflix is now included in the Bigger TV bundle, the Ultimate Volt bundle and the Biggest TV Volt bundle.
Info below from https://www.virginmedia.com/tv/netflix
New Virgin Media customers
Get one of our Netflix inclusive bundles (Ultimate Volt, Biggest TV or Biggest TV Volt). If you already have Netflix you can transfer it over and have your plan included in your Virgin Media bundle.
You can also get Netflix as an add-on with any other bundle that includes Broadband. To get Netflix as an add-on pick a bundle of your choice and hit ‘customise your package’ to add Netflix.
If you haven’t already got a Netflix account, it’s quick and easy to add Netflix to your Virgin Media bill, if it’s not already included as part of your bundle.
Open the Netflix app on your Virgin TV box via the main menu and click the Netflix banner. Select ‘Start your membership’, enter your email address and then in a few short clicks you should be ready to enjoy Netflix.

Hi again @oxfordmark
Yes it's only the standard version, however customers can upgrade to the Premium Plus plan for an extra £5 per month.
This is inline with Netflix's normal billing costs which are

The live chat said I would have to pay £13.99 extra?

Whether you're a Virgin Media veteran or a new customer, our Biggest TV, Biggest TV Volt and Ultimate Volt bundles include the Netflix Standard Plan and are perfect for binging. thats what it says on a VM page so wonder why people are getting told it will cost them.

Hi @oxfordmark
It's not very well phrased but the details below are from the VM O2 news page
'Virgin Media O2 customers who haven’t yet discovered Netflix can now enjoy great quality TV, movies and documentaries that they’ll love and can watch as much as they want, all as part of their Virgin TV bundle, while those who do already have a Netflix plan can simply transfer their billing to Virgin Media to enjoy the ease and convenience of Netflix as part of their Ultimate Volt or Biggest TV package. And, for telly lovers who want to upgrade from the Standard Plan to a Netflix Premium Plan, Virgin Media O2 is offering the option to do so for just £5 more per month so members of their household can enjoy Netflix in 4K on up to four devices simultaneously.'
It looks like either VM are slow in updating staff of the new changes, or staff aren't reading their bulletins etc
