What will happen with my next bill when I upgrade my services?

You might notice your next bill is a little different than you expected, but don’t worry! This is normal, so there’s no need to get in touch. It will simply include any charges due for your current services up until your new products billing date. From that date on, you’ll see your new monthly charge reflected on the bill - and any subsequent bills will include only the cost of your new services.

FAQs

What do I get with the Virgin Media WiFi guarantee?

Now if you choose our 1 Gig or 2 Gig broadband packs, we’ll guarantee an ultrafast, seamless broadband experience in all areas of your home at no extra charge. 99.9% proven broadband reliability and our Best in Test 2023 result awarded by Umlaut, means you’ve already chosen Ireland’s Best Broadband. But everyone’s home is different, and some households can have problem areas or WiFi blackspots. If this is the case, you can get a Smart WiFi pod, plus up to 2 additional pods if needed to help wave bye-bye to any blackspots. Simply plug in and enjoy guaranteed minimum speeds for reliable browsing, gaming and show-streaming power.

The clever technology inside our WiFi Pods uses the cloud to understand how you use WiFi and constantly adapts to create the best conditions for the network your home needs every day. Working together with your Virgin Media hub, the pods will change your settings automatically to manage interference and make sure you’re on the best connection you can be. So it’s bye bye blackspots, hello fast, reliable WiFi!

How do I choose the best broadband provider?

In Ireland there are several providers offering broadband, but not all will have the speed and reliability you need. Virgin Media offer ultrafast broadband packages. Our fastest ever broadband combined with 99.9% network reliability means we can offer you the best broadband connection. Our unrivalled Broadband & TV packages offer busy households and those working from home the fastest uninterrupted service. Depending on what you need your broadband for, we offer speeds of 500Mb and 1GB, and soon we will be rolling out 2GB fibre to the home to our entire network.  

When choosing a provider, you should also consider an unlimited broadband plan, which means your monthly usage is not capped. With Virgin Media, all of our broadband plans are unlimited. 

What’s my monthly broadband usage allowance?

All our broadband plans are unlimited, which means we do not set a cap on how much monthly data you can consume. So, if you’re in a busy household with daily usage such as streaming, gaming and working from home, a Virgin Media broadband plan is perfect for you.

I work from home. Will Virgin Media broadband be reliable enough for heavy usage and video calling?

Yes. Our ultrafast broadband packages combined with consistent 99.9% network reliability are ideal for home workers. Depending on your home setup we’d recommend our 500Mb or 1Gb packages for home working.

Is Virgin Media broadband good for gaming?

Yes. For serious gaming we’d recommend our highest speed broadband, giving you all the speed you need with unlimited downloads. The highest upload and download speeds mean you can game and stream simultaneously. And low latency and reduced ping mean less lag to really give you the edge.

What is an Activation fee?

This fee is a normal part of your account setup when you are joining Virgin Media, in order to activate a new connection. It’s a once-off fee, which is not payable until your first bill. So you won’t have to pay this cost upfront with your order today.

How easily can I switch to Virgin Media broadband?

It’s simple to switch. Once you’re out of contract with your current provider, you can order with us. We offer a self-install option and can have you up and running the very next day.

Here’s how to cancel with your current service provider:

Eir - Dial 1901 or chat to them on their Live Chat service

Sky - Dial 0818 719 819 or chat to them on their Live Chat service

Vodafone -Dial 1907 or chat to them on their Live Chat service

When will I receive my order?

If you order before 6pm, from Monday to Thursday, you can expect delivery of your kit the very next day*. (Exceptions may apply at very busy times of the year like Christmas or other key sales promotion periods.).  

Any orders received outside these times will be processed on the next working day. You’ll get an SMS on the day of delivery, giving you a one-hour window when the driver will arrive to deliver your order.  

The message will also include a Tracking ID number and a link to the DPD website. Just click the link in the text message to track your order. Simple! 

On the day of delivery, you’ll get a second email confirming the delivery details and everything else you need. Then you’re good to go. 

*Where a technician is required to install your order, next day delivery will not apply.

Can I install the equipment myself or will Virgin Media do it for me?

Most customers are happy to install the equipment themselves, using the instructions supplied. It’s quick and easy, and we provide a handy step by step guide.

But if you’d rather leave it to the experts, you can pay for one of our Red House technicians to come out and set you up, and make sure your WiFi is working perfectly across all the devices in your home. This option is available to book online before you reach the checkout. As soon as your order is received and loaded, you’ll be given an installation date via email. If that date does not suit, you will have the option to change this to a date/time that you prefer via SMS.

 

Why choose Virgin Media Full Fibre Broadband?

If you’re wondering ‘When is fibre broadband coming to my area?’ we’re delighted to announce that we are currently expanding our network to more areas across Ireland, offering full fibre broadband with speeds of up to 2GB so if it’s not already available to you, it will be soon. But why fibre? There are so many advantages to fibre broadband. It’s much faster and more reliable than standard cable internet. Fibre optic cable can handle more users and more data at consistently higher speeds.

Want to check the speed of your current connection? You can do that here.

The increased reliability of fibre means less outages. At peak times, fibre broadband will be reliable no matter how many users are on the network.

With full fibre, upload and download speeds get equal weighting. This makes working from home easier with quicker file sharing and seamless video calling.

Movie buffs can enjoy the best picture quality ever, streaming high-quality 4K TV and movies. And it’s good news for gamers, as the smooth and constant flow of data means your game will never lag.

What are the benefits of Streaming TV?

We’re upping our TV game with a brand-new service, powered by a fun-sized box that works over WiFi and that’s packed with more great features and capabilities than ever before, meaning your TV and broadband package just got even better!

Streaming TV puts an ocean of entertainment at your fingertips. This IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) service is, quite simply, the future of television. It delivers everything from your favourite shows and channels to the most popular apps and players. And it does it all over your WiFi - making cable a thing of the past.

Award-winning design boasts meets impressive sustainability credentials, thanks to extremely low power consumption, minimal usage of materials and no single-use plastic.

From that date on, you’ll see your new monthly charge reflected on the bill - and any subsequent bills will include only the cost of your new services.

FAQs

What do I get with the Virgin Media WiFi guarantee?

Now if you choose our 1 Gig or 2 Gig broadband packs, we’ll guarantee an ultrafast, seamless broadband experience in all areas of your home at no extra charge. 99.9% proven broadband reliability and our Best in Test 2023 result awarded by Umlaut, means you’ve already chosen Ireland’s Best Broadband. But everyone’s home is different, and some households can have problem areas or WiFi blackspots. If this is the case, you can get a Smart WiFi pod, plus up to 2 additional pods if needed to help wave bye-bye to any blackspots. Simply plug in and enjoy guaranteed minimum speeds for reliable browsing, gaming and show-streaming power.

The clever technology inside our WiFi Pods uses the cloud to understand how you use WiFi and constantly adapts to create the best conditions for the network your home needs every day. Working together with your Virgin Media hub, the pods will change your settings automatically to manage interference and make sure you’re on the best connection you can be. So it’s bye bye blackspots, hello fast, reliable WiFi!

How do I choose the best broadband provider?

In Ireland there are several providers offering broadband, but not all will have the speed and reliability you need. Virgin Media offer ultrafast broadband packages. Our fastest ever broadband combined with 99.9% network reliability means we can offer you the best broadband connection. Our unrivalled Broadband & TV packages offer busy households and those working from home the fastest uninterrupted service. Depending on what you need your broadband for, we offer speeds of 500Mb and 1GB, and soon we will be rolling out 2GB fibre to the home to our entire network.  

When choosing a provider, you should also consider an unlimited broadband plan, which means your monthly usage is not capped. With Virgin Media, all of our broadband plans are unlimited. 

What’s my monthly broadband usage allowance?

All our broadband plans are unlimited, which means we do not set a cap on how much monthly data you can consume. So, if you’re in a busy household with daily usage such as streaming, gaming and working from home, a Virgin Media broadband plan is perfect for you.

I work from home. Will Virgin Media broadband be reliable enough for heavy usage and video calling?

Yes. Our ultrafast broadband packages combined with consistent 99.9% network reliability are ideal for home workers. Depending on your home setup we’d recommend our 500Mb or 1Gb packages for home working.

Is Virgin Media broadband good for gaming?

Yes. For serious gaming we’d recommend our highest speed broadband, giving you all the speed you need with unlimited downloads. The highest upload and download speeds mean you can game and stream simultaneously. And low latency and reduced ping mean less lag to really give you the edge.

What is an Activation fee?

This fee is a normal part of your account setup when you are joining Virgin Media, in order to activate a new connection. It’s a once-off fee, which is not payable until your first bill. So you won’t have to pay this cost upfront with your order today.

How easily can I switch to Virgin Media broadband?

It’s simple to switch. Once you’re out of contract with your current provider, you can order with us. We offer a self-install option and can have you up and running the very next day.

Here’s how to cancel with your current service provider:

Eir - Dial 1901 or chat to them on their Live Chat service

Sky - Dial 0818 719 819 or chat to them on their Live Chat service

Vodafone -Dial 1907 or chat to them on their Live Chat service

When will I receive my order?

If you order before 6pm, from Monday to Thursday, you can expect delivery of your kit the very next day*. (Exceptions may apply at very busy times of the year like Christmas or other key sales promotion periods.).  

Any orders received outside these times will be processed on the next working day. You’ll get an SMS on the day of delivery, giving you a one-hour window when the driver will arrive to deliver your order.  

The message will also include a Tracking ID number and a link to the DPD website. Just click the link in the text message to track your order. Simple! 

On the day of delivery, you’ll get a second email confirming the delivery details and everything else you need. Then you’re good to go. 

*Where a technician is required to install your order, next day delivery will not apply.

Can I install the equipment myself or will Virgin Media do it for me?

Most customers are happy to install the equipment themselves, using the instructions supplied. It’s quick and easy, and we provide a handy step by step guide.

But if you’d rather leave it to the experts, you can pay for one of our Red House technicians to come out and set you up, and make sure your WiFi is working perfectly across all the devices in your home. This option is available to book online before you reach the checkout. As soon as your order is received and loaded, you’ll be given an installation date via email. If that date does not suit, you will have the option to change this to a date/time that you prefer via SMS.

 

Why choose Virgin Media Full Fibre Broadband?

If you’re wondering ‘When is fibre broadband coming to my area?’ we’re delighted to announce that we are currently expanding our network to more areas across Ireland, offering full fibre broadband with speeds of up to 2GB so if it’s not already available to you, it will be soon. But why fibre? There are so many advantages to fibre broadband. It’s much faster and more reliable than standard cable internet. Fibre optic cable can handle more users and more data at consistently higher speeds.

Want to check the speed of your current connection? You can do that here.

The increased reliability of fibre means less outages. At peak times, fibre broadband will be reliable no matter how many users are on the network.

With full fibre, upload and download speeds get equal weighting. This makes working from home easier with quicker file sharing and seamless video calling.

Movie buffs can enjoy the best picture quality ever, streaming high-quality 4K TV and movies. And it’s good news for gamers, as the smooth and constant flow of data means your game will never lag.

What are the benefits of Streaming TV?

We’re upping our TV game with a brand-new service, powered by a fun-sized box that works over WiFi and that’s packed with more great features and capabilities than ever before, meaning your TV and broadband package just got even better!

Streaming TV puts an ocean of entertainment at your fingertips. This IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) service is, quite simply, the future of television. It delivers everything from your favourite shows and channels to the most popular apps and players. And it does it all over your WiFi - making cable a thing of the past.

Award-winning design boasts meets impressive sustainability credentials, thanks to extremely low power consumption, minimal usage of materials and no single-use plastic.

What will happen with my next bill when I upgrade my services?

You might notice your next bill is a little different than you expected, but don’t worry! This is normal, so there’s no need to get in touch. It will simply include any charges due for your current services up until your new products billing date. From that date on, you’ll see your new monthly charge reflected on the bill - and any subsequent bills will include only the cost of your new services.

FAQs

What do I get with the Virgin Media WiFi guarantee?

Now if you choose our 1 Gig or 2 Gig broadband packs, we’ll guarantee an ultrafast, seamless broadband experience in all areas of your home at no extra charge. 99.9% proven broadband reliability and our Best in Test 2023 result awarded by Umlaut, means you’ve already chosen Ireland’s Best Broadband. But everyone’s home is different, and some households can have problem areas or WiFi blackspots. If this is the case, you can get a Smart WiFi pod, plus up to 2 additional pods if needed to help wave bye-bye to any blackspots. Simply plug in and enjoy guaranteed minimum speeds for reliable browsing, gaming and show-streaming power.

The clever technology inside our WiFi Pods uses the cloud to understand how you use WiFi and constantly adapts to create the best conditions for the network your home needs every day. Working together with your Virgin Media hub, the pods will change your settings automatically to manage interference and make sure you’re on the best connection you can be. So it’s bye bye blackspots, hello fast, reliable WiFi!

How do I choose the best broadband provider?

In Ireland there are several providers offering broadband, but not all will have the speed and reliability you need. Virgin Media offer ultrafast broadband packages. Our fastest ever broadband combined with 99.9% network reliability means we can offer you the best broadband connection. Our unrivalled Broadband & TV packages offer busy households and those working from home the fastest uninterrupted service. Depending on what you need your broadband for, we offer speeds of 500Mb and 1GB, and soon we will be rolling out 2GB fibre to the home to our entire network.  

When choosing a provider, you should also consider an unlimited broadband plan, which means your monthly usage is not capped. With Virgin Media, all of our broadband plans are unlimited. 

What’s my monthly broadband usage allowance?

All our broadband plans are unlimited, which means we do not set a cap on how much monthly data you can consume. So, if you’re in a busy household with daily usage such as streaming, gaming and working from home, a Virgin Media broadband plan is perfect for you.

I work from home. Will Virgin Media broadband be reliable enough for heavy usage and video calling?

Yes. Our ultrafast broadband packages combined with consistent 99.9% network reliability are ideal for home workers. Depending on your home setup we’d recommend our 500Mb or 1Gb packages for home working.

Is Virgin Media broadband good for gaming?

Yes. For serious gaming we’d recommend our highest speed broadband, giving you all the speed you need with unlimited downloads. The highest upload and download speeds mean you can game and stream simultaneously. And low latency and reduced ping mean less lag to really give you the edge.

What is an Activation fee?

This fee is a normal part of your account setup when you are joining Virgin Media, in order to activate a new connection. It’s a once-off fee, which is not payable until your first bill. So you won’t have to pay this cost upfront with your order today.

How easily can I switch to Virgin Media broadband?

It’s simple to switch. Once you’re out of contract with your current provider, you can order with us. We offer a self-install option and can have you up and running the very next day.

Here’s how to cancel with your current service provider:

Eir - Dial 1901 or chat to them on their Live Chat service

Sky - Dial 0818 719 819 or chat to them on their Live Chat service

Vodafone -Dial 1907 or chat to them on their Live Chat service

When will I receive my order?

If you order before 6pm, from Monday to Thursday, you can expect delivery of your kit the very next day*. (Exceptions may apply at very busy times of the year like Christmas or other key sales promotion periods.).  

Any orders received outside these times will be processed on the next working day. You’ll get an SMS on the day of delivery, giving you a one-hour window when the driver will arrive to deliver your order.  

The message will also include a Tracking ID number and a link to the DPD website. Just click the link in the text message to track your order. Simple! 

On the day of delivery, you’ll get a second email confirming the delivery details and everything else you need. Then you’re good to go. 

*Where a technician is required to install your order, next day delivery will not apply.

Can I install the equipment myself or will Virgin Media do it for me?

Most customers are happy to install the equipment themselves, using the instructions supplied. It’s quick and easy, and we provide a handy step by step guide.

But if you’d rather leave it to the experts, you can pay for one of our Red House technicians to come out and set you up, and make sure your WiFi is working perfectly across all the devices in your home. This option is available to book online before you reach the checkout. As soon as your order is received and loaded, you’ll be given an installation date via email. If that date does not suit, you will have the option to change this to a date/time that you prefer via SMS.

 

Why choose Virgin Media Full Fibre Broadband?

If you’re wondering ‘When is fibre broadband coming to my area?’ we’re delighted to announce that we are currently expanding our network to more areas across Ireland, offering full fibre broadband with speeds of up to 2GB so if it’s not already available to you, it will be soon. But why fibre? There are so many advantages to fibre broadband. It’s much faster and more reliable than standard cable internet. Fibre optic cable can handle more users and more data at consistently higher speeds.

Want to check the speed of your current connection? You can do that here.

The increased reliability of fibre means less outages. At peak times, fibre broadband will be reliable no matter how many users are on the network.

With full fibre, upload and download speeds get equal weighting. This makes working from home easier with quicker file sharing and seamless video calling.

Movie buffs can enjoy the best picture quality ever, streaming high-quality 4K TV and movies. And it’s good news for gamers, as the smooth and constant flow of data means your game will never lag.

What are the benefits of Streaming TV?

We’re upping our TV game with a brand-new service, powered by a fun-sized box that works over WiFi and that’s packed with more great features and capabilities than ever before, meaning your TV and broadband package just got even better!

Streaming TV puts an ocean of entertainment at your fingertips. This IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) service is, quite simply, the future of television. It delivers everything from your favourite shows and channels to the most popular apps and players. And it does it all over your WiFi - making cable a thing of the past.

Award-winning design boasts meets impressive sustainability credentials, thanks to extremely low power consumption, minimal usage of materials and no single-use plastic.
