Virgin Business Broadband and Phone: Prices, Packages and Alternatives

This guide sets out the Virgin Media Business packages with their published prices as checked on 16 October 2026: the five broadband speed tiers, the symmetric Full Fibre X variants, what a broadband and phone bundle actually contains and costs, how the April price rises work, and the cases where bundling beats buying business broadband and business VoIP separately. For how Virgin stacks up against the other nine providers worth considering, see our business broadband comparison.

What do Virgin Business broadband packages cost in 2026?

Virgin Media Business publishes its small-business prices openly, which is more than BT does. All of the figures below are per month, exclude VAT at 20%, and are for a 24-month minimum term; a 12-month term is available for an extra £5 a month. Installation is a minimum of £75 per site, and excess construction charges can apply. Prices as published on virginmediabusiness.co.uk on 16 October 2026.

Two things stand out. Upload is a tenth of download on the cable tiers, which is the number that matters for hosted calls, video and cloud back-up. And every package rises by £3.50 a month each April, so the price you sign at is the lowest you will pay across the term; the table shows the published figures for the April 2027 and April 2028 bills.

What are the Full Fibre X symmetric packages?

Where Virgin has upgraded a street to its own full fibre, it sells the same tiers with equal upload and download under the Full Fibre X name, for £10 a month more than the cable tier. For any office that pushes data upstream, this is the Virgin product to ask for, and the first thing to check is whether your address is on the full fibre part of the network or the cable part. Our Virgin fibre checker guide explains how to tell.

What does a Virgin Business broadband and phone bundle include and cost?

A bundle puts broadband and a digital phone line on one account, one invoice and one renewal date. On every cable tier up to Gig1 the bundle costs £10 a month more than the broadband-only package, and that £10 buys a phone line with unlimited UK calls (free for the first 60 minutes to landlines and 30 minutes to mobiles per call, then charged), F-Secure internet security and a 4G broadband back-up. There is no Gig2 bundle.

At £10 a month for a line, calls, security software and 4G back-up, the bundle uplift is cheap, and that is the honest case for it. The phone is delivered as VoIP over the same cable circuit as the broadband; the included 4G back-up softens, but does not remove, the single point of failure described below.

What technology is the Virgin business phone line?

The phone in a 2026 Virgin bundle is VoIP, voice carried over the internet, not an analogue or ISDN line. The UK is retiring its analogue PSTN and ISDN network on 31 January 2027, so every provider now delivers business voice digitally over a broadband connection. For most day-to-day calling this is functionally equivalent to a traditional line. The difference is dependency: if the broadband goes down and the 4G back-up does not pick up, the bundled phone goes with it. Businesses that need their phones to survive an outage should look at a hosted phone system that fails over to mobile independently, or pair the connection with backup connectivity on a different network. Our guide to the PSTN and ISDN switch-off covers the migration, and Ofcom's guidance on digital landlines explains why it affects every UK business (Ofcom: digital landlines).

What should you pin down before signing?

• The April rises. The published price increases by £3.50 every April, so a 24-month Voom Gig1 signed in October 2026 at £43.95 is £47.45 from April 2027 and £50.95 from April 2028. Budget the later figure, not the first.
• Cable or full fibre. Confirm which part of Virgin's network your address sits on. If it is cable and you need upload, price the Full Fibre X tier or a symmetric alternative.
• Service level. Virgin's published network availability is 99.9% a year with a 24-hour restoration aim; fault-fix targets run from 28 working hours on Voom 200 to 12 working hours on Gig1 and Gig2, on working days only. That is a broadband service level, not a leased line SLA.
• Static IP. Dynamic on Voom 200 and 400 unless you add one; a single static IP is included from Voom 600 up.
• The like-for-like alternative. Price the bundle against a separately sourced line and hosted phone system for the same site before treating the bundle as a saving.

Are bundles better value than buying broadband and phone separately?

For a one-to-four-person office that wants a single bill, the Virgin bundle is good value and the £10 uplift is hard to beat. For anything larger, a specialist broadband line paired with a dedicated VoIP platform delivers more features, better per-user pricing and telephony resilience that does not depend on one cable.

When does a Virgin bundle make sense?

When simplicity outweighs flexibility: very small teams, single-site businesses, offices moving premises that need both services live on day one, and addresses inside Virgin's footprint where its network is genuinely the strongest option. Where Virgin has full fibre to the street, the Full Fibre X tiers are among the best-value symmetric broadband products in the UK market.

When should you buy separately, or buy something else?

Once you pass roughly five users, once a phone outage would cost you real money, or once you need more than a couple of lines and proper call handling. And if the connection itself is business-critical, compare the top Virgin tiers against a leased line: 100Mbps dedicated from £69 a month and 1Gbps from £129 a month, symmetric, uncontended and with a fix-time SLA, which is a different class of service from a 99.9% broadband target. Our BT vs Virgin comparison covers the network question, and the business broadband comparison puts Virgin against the rest of the market. AMVIA supplies connectivity and hosted VoIP, so we can model a Virgin bundle against a separately sourced setup for your exact site, headcount and call profile.
