- Virgin Media announced a £4 monthly price increase for new and re-contracting customers starting April 2026 in the UK.
- This hike follows BT's recent £4 annual price rise and comes amid inflation rising above initial forecasts to 3.8% in August 2025.
- The new pricing affects latest packages that include Netflix and Sky Sports in HD, with Virgin Media emphasizing added value despite the increase.

- Customers are encouraged to consider alternatives before renewal, as some regional providers promise no mid-contract hikes, and a referral reward offer ends on October 9, 2025.
