This package concerns people who live in a non-cable area. One very special thing about Virgin is that none of the connections proposed by the Internet Service Provider have a limited usage. In a nutshell, cable and non-cable broadband bundles allow you to download as many files as you want, without having to worry about a potential extra fee (Be careful, however, there is a fair use policy). The speed is up to 1 meg which is not exactly what we can call a "fast lane", but this package has all the qualities of basic and robust Broadband.
The eligibility of your phone line will determine whether this package is available for you through adsl. If not, you might still be able to join Virgin Media with one of its cable (Size M, L or XL) packages. They are provided through fibre optic cables, which means that you avoid paying a phone bill. However, you'll have to pay a £25.00 connection charge.
Thanks to this bundle and its Broadband Phone package, you'll save money. UK week-end calls will be free, evening & day-time calls will only cost 3.25p per minute (bottom-of-the-line package). Many other Virgin Phone packages do exist, from unlimited weekend UK landline calls (£11 a month) to a maximum of 800 minutes to call anywhere, on regular or cellular phone lines (£40 a month)
Unlimited Broadband & Talk (Bundle Three) contains broadband and phone, and the price is attractive for such a combination. You should also take into consideration that the modem is free, which makes you avoid paying an extra cost. The long list of the advantages combined with unlimited usage turns this package into an attractive one at an affordable rate.
