Meanwhile, Sky is also offering free extras, with customers signing up for its £44 Ultimate TV and Sky Sports bundle now receiving subscriptions to Netflix, HBO Max, Disney+, discovery+ and Hayu at no extra cost.

Another adds: “Great, simple and easy. The engineer was friendly and installed the cable without fuss. My internet has gone from a patchy 12Mb to a solid 500Mb for the same price, plus Netflix.” One customer’s journey proved more complicated, though they nonetheless commended Virgin’s customer service, stating: “Bad start but good customer service response. The onboarding process was terrible, especially the account number and area reference number that I never received, but the customer service saved the day.”
Additionally, another five-star review notes: “Seamless switch over from Sky. Professional engineers who turned up on time, polite and work completed quickly and efficiently. Explained how to use the new media well.”
