Virgin Media home broadband packages
Virgin Media home broadband offers an alternative to other broadband providers like BT, who deliver broadband internet over copper cables. Virgin Media broadband is delivered to your home by fibre optic cable. Fibre optic cable is designed to carry vast amounts of data and can allow speeds of up to 50Mb to be achieved. If your home is in a Virgin Media fibre optic cabled area you can get access not only to ultra-fast fibre optic broadband, but also sign up for a number of broadband packages and broadband TV bundles. The bundles include home phone and digital TV services from Virgin Media for a reasonable monthly subscription.
Mobile broadband
If you don't live in a Virgin Media fibre optic cable area then don't despair. Mobile broadband is the answer and its much more cost effective than broadband with a BT landline.
The main advantage of having mobile broadband is fact it's broadband without a landline - meaning no cables to tie down your laptop at home.
