Virgin Media's attractive six months half-price broadband deal is not merely restricted to new customers, the firm has explained.

The internet service provider (ISP) is also enabling existing subscribers to receive half a year's worth of reduced bills if they upgrade their contract.

Any customer who moves onto an XLTV package or adds broadband services to their current bundle can also reap the benefits of the deal.

Virgin Media said it is "great news" that more people will have the opportunity to reduce their household bills over the winter, while receiving "amazing entertainment".

The ISP was referring to its subscription TV, home phone and broadband bundles, which it claims offer the fastest download speeds in the UK at present.

This will certainly be the case for those consumers signing up for 100Mb fibre broadband, which is scheduled to launch next month.

Customers registering for one of Virgin Media's current broadband bundles can access speedy fibre-optic web services, 65 TV channels and unlimited calls to UK landlines and Virgin mobiles in one single package.

    If its true it is great news, although it will probably have an 18 month new contract attached to it.

    Avoid Virgin like the plague. Their lines are the fastest, true, but they have no cap on users on a particular server, and so their hubs get so clogged the speeds are beyond usable. After five in the evening I get between 0.01 and 0.1 MBPS. From a 20mbit line. I have complained 8 times over a year, each time got a free month and told my area has a fault to be fixed in a week.

    what a nerve virgin has got telling me i cant leave them as im under contract, well what contract is that i dount remember signing anything ever, their take on the situation is whenever a customer upgrades or down grades thats concidered to be a new contract and if the customer no longer wants to be a customer of theirs then they must pay them all the money they would of received until the so said contract runs out.unbelievable

    @Alison Howells Well thats why its a contract, everyone e.g(sky, t-mobile, orange) charges you for the length of the contract if you leave because the contract hasn't finished yet. Yet if the contract has finished they have no rights to charge you unless it states otherwise in your exsisting contract. Hope this helps.
