US EditionVirgin Media customers warned after new £4 a month hike decision
Virgin Media raises annual mid-contract price hikes to £4 and adds Netflix Standard with Ads to bundles, with broadband prices increasing from April 2026 amid inflation and regulatory changes.
- Virgin Media announced a £4 monthly price increase for new and re-contracting customers starting April 2026 in the UK.
- This hike follows BT's recent £4 annual price rise and comes amid inflation rising above initial forecasts to 3.8% in August 2025.
- The new pricing affects latest packages that include Netflix and Sky Sports in HD, with Virgin Media emphasizing added value despite the increase.
- A Virgin Media spokesperson described the rise as a “13p a day” increase offset by a £5 million daily network investment, while Ofcom investigates the company over complaint handling.
- Customers are encouraged to consider alternatives before renewal, as some regional providers promise no mid-contract hikes, and a referral reward offer ends on October 9, 2025.
