Learn more about Virgin Plus below and what they offer in their home internet plans.
Virgin Plus currently offers three home internet plans. These plans are very similar and all come with unlimited data and free installation. The only differences are the maximum speeds attainable and, of course, the price.
Good news for Canadians out there who are looking for more options of internet service providers because Virgin Plus Canada now provides Canadian households with high-speed internet.
Consumers will know if they are within the service area using Virgin’s available online tool. As of now, the service is only offered to a limited area.
The company is promoting that there will be no long-term contracts, no hidden fees, and the best of all, no set-up fees. Customers will surely be delighted. Let us hope that this will be the start of more available alternatives to the country’s high-speed internet service providers. Still, keep in mind that although the service may be unlike the other high-profile internet service providers, Bell Canada actually owns Virgin Plus Canada.
Also, let’s hope that Virgin will have its own tech support to assist new customers because sharing Bell’s dedicated tech support to its main customers could eventually result in customers disappointment.
There are two packages to choose from, the 300GB Plan or the Unlimited Plan. The 300 GB Plan currently costs $50/month plus $1 every succeeding gigabyte used. On the other hand, the Unlimited Plan costs $65/month and it could be one of the more competitive deals available in the market.
New customers need to buy Steve (Virgin’s own modem) to be able to use the Virgin Plus Home Internet. At this time, the modem’s limited download speed of 25/Mbps and upload speed of 10/Mbps is the only available option for consumers. Low and medium internet users will be surely satisfied with the modem, though the heavy internet users might ask for more. Purchase of Steve will be included with the internet service’s monthly payment.
Comparing Virgin’s internet packages to other internet service providers, Canadian consumers will see that despite the limited speeds of Steve, it is one of the most affordable options available. Especially the Unlimited Plan, which is the more attractive of the two plans. Here is how other internet packages currently look:
Regardless of Virgin Plus Canada’s current limited service area and modem speed, its new internet plans still offer good alternatives for customers. Let’s just hope that the company will be successful with its new venture so that Canadians will have more affordable internet services and more options of high-speed internet service providers.
The starting plan costs $50/month for up to 25/10 Mbps speed (download/upload). There are no additional fees for installation or modem usage. This plan is suitable for users who only need access to social media, email, and browsing. However, downloading larger files (movies, games) might take a while.
Virgin’s intermediate plan costs $60/month for up to 50/10 Mbps. Again, there are no additional fees. This is a much better option considering there is only a slight price increase for doubling the download speed. Unfortunately, the upload speed doesn’t change, and you’ll need a different provider if you wish to stream content or upload large files consistently.
The most expensive plan costs $70/month for up to 100/10 Mbps. This option is best for larger households or users that watch streaming HD videos, movies, or games.
There are no other costs besides the monthly payment. The installation comes free of charge, and modem rental is included in the subscription fee. You’ll also get an assisted installation option, so the technician doesn’t need to enter your home unless absolutely necessary.
Here are the most notable features of Virgin Plus’s home internet:
While the internet plans seem great, here are some negatives you should consider:
We’ve heard generally decent things about their customer representatives. Do note that since they share infrastructure with their parent company, technicians and other service staff might come from Bell Canada, which might pose scheduling issues.
Internet plans range from $50 to $70 per month, depending on your internet speed.
Unfortunately, no. Virgin Plus’s services come in separate packages. Promotional offers may include discounts on other services. If you want a bundled pack, you’ll need to contact a different provider.
Virgin Plus uses a monthly contract, and you can cancel your subscription at any time.
Cancelling your contract is free, but you have to return the modem when you cancel your subscription.
You can contact their customer support at 1-888-285-1842 or make an internet call at 1-888-889-9219.
