Like all providers, Virgin Media will hike prices during the contract term and at its conclusion, so it's wise to negotiate a better deal with them or be prepared to switch to a new offer. It's also crucial to verify that Virgin Media's cables are accessible in your area, as not every household can connect to this Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Alternatively, while Sky doesn't have any free offers ongoing, it does have some cheaper alternatives. Sky's £35.99 Essential TV and Full Fibre 150 bundle is a great cheaper alternative.

EE is also a good provider to consider for those who want just internet. The brand has some of the fastest speeds from £29.99if TV is something that's not needed.
