Virgin Broadband deals
Virgin Media are currently offering broadband for £5.99 a month for the first 12 months, then £19 a month after. However this is actually a Broadband and Phone deal so you need to add £17.99 a month onto that for line rental.
Why am I mentioning this? Well over 18 months this is actually cheaper than Broadband without line rental:
| Virgin Broadband & Phone | £28.32 / month | £509.70 over 18 months |
| Virgin Broadband without line rental | £30.25 / month | £544.50 over 18 months |
Of course in the long run opting for the broadband only deal will work out cheaper once the introductory offer has finished.

Do I need a phone line?
This is all good and well but you might be asking yourself whether you need a phone line even if you don't intend to use it? Many are worried that not having a fixed phone line will in some way effect things like applications or even credit ratings.
Let me assure you, this isn't the case. Companies are well aware that mobile phones have taken over fixed phone lines in terms of number of calls made. They are more than happy to accept mobile numbers on applications.
I personally haven't had a phone line for almost 3 years and recently remortgaged my house with a new provider. Applications don't get much bigger than mortgages and they were more than happy with my mobile number during the application process.
So what are you waiting for, why not see if you can get Virgin Broadband where you live and join the thousands of us enjoying super-fast broadband without paying for line rental.
