Updated 1 October 2026: Virgin Media’s broadband-only prices start at £23.99 (M125) and £25.99 (M350). The £300 ETF credit is not listed on current offers.
Answer first: As of 21 September 2026, Virgin Media’s up to £300 Contract Buyout / ETF switching credit is not listed on current offers. Do not count on the buyout when you compare deals. From 1 October 2026, Virgin’s broadband-only ladder also removes M250 Fibre broadband and sets M350 Fibre broadband at £25.99 a month. If you were switching mainly for the £300 credit, re-rank on first-year cash and package value instead — and confirm the live shop at your postcode.
Update (1 October 2026): Virgin Media broadband-only ladder change
From 1 October 2026, Virgin Media’s broadband-only (solus) offer sheet removes M250 Fibre broadband as a live promo tier and sets M350 Fibre broadband at £25.99 a month. Re-check the live shop at your postcode before you order — other end dates on the full pricing sheet may also move.

What to check instead
Without the buyout, the decision is Year-1 cash, speed you will actually use, upload needs, April rise clauses, and whether an altnet has built your street. For broadband-only, start with M125 (£23.99) or M350 (£25.99 from 1 Oct) if Virgin’s cable reaches you — then compare against Openreach and altnet quotes the same day.

TV packages
If you want TV with broadband, open Virgin’s TV packages separately. Entertainment packs change the monthly total and the equipment story — strip back to broadband-only if you did not ask for YouView or Sport.

FAQ
Is the £300 Virgin Media switching credit still available?
No. It was removed on 21 September 2026. Do not treat old footnotes mentioning 20 September or 4 November as a live offer.
What happened to Virgin Media M250 broadband?
From 1 October 2026, M250 Fibre broadband is removed from the live broadband-only promo ladder. Check virginmedia.com at your postcode for whatever remains in the shop.
What does M350 cost from 1 October 2026?
M350 Fibre broadband is listed at £25.99 a month on the 1 October solus update — £311.88 Year-1 if the monthly holds for twelve months with £0 QuickStart. Confirm on the retailer site before you order.
Should I still switch to Virgin Media?
Only if Year-1 cash, speed, and coverage beat the alternatives at your address. Without the £300 credit, do not switch for a buyout that no longer exists.
Where do I check live offers?
Use Virgin Media’s broadband and switch pages with your postcode, and read the contract summary before you click.
