The Virgin Media Southampton rollout has been quite extensive in the autumn of 2011. This means that already thousands of Southampton residents can now pick and choose the services they want from the UK’s number 1 cable operator. To find out if Virgin Media has reached your area of Southampton you can use our free Virginmedia.com/Southampton postcode checker at the top of this page.
Virgin Media Southampton
Virgin Media reaching Southampton is great news for the residents of the area. Virgin offers the two fastest broadband packages in the UK: up to 50Mb and in some areas up to 100Mb along with a fantastic range of cable TV and home phone packages.
In fact, Virgin is one of the most popular subscription TV providers in the country and the exclusive distributor of the Virgin Media TiVo set-top box. And With Virgin Media you are free to choose as many, or as few, services as you want so if you just want cable TV without broadband or phone, then that’s fine. Likewise if you just want the fastest fibre optic broadband that Virgin has to offer without TV then you're free to choose that too.
