Netflix Add-on via Virgin Media
Firstly, you need to be a Virgin Media customer with a TV package. Think of your Virgin Media package as the foundation of your viewing empire!
You can then add Netflix to certain Virgin Media packages. This is often the easiest way, as it conveniently bundles everything onto one bill. No need for frantic password remembering or extra apps!
Netflix standard plan on Virgin Media Stream box costs about £10.99 which includes access to Netflix's vast library, ad-free viewing, and the ability to watch on two devices simultaneously in Full HD. This is great for smaller households, or if you and your viewing buddy rarely watch the same thing at the same time.
Considering Netflix's Own Plans
Now, hold on to your hats because you have another option. You can actually subscribe to Netflix directly, completely independently of Virgin Media! It's like ordering your pizza from a different pizza place, entirely your choice.
Netflix itself offers a range of plans, and this is where it gets interesting. The cheapest plan, the 'Standard with ads' plan, is £4.99 a month, but it comes with ads, which, let's be honest, can be a bit of a vibe killer.
The "Standard" plan (no ads, two devices, HD) is £10.99 a month. Then, the ultimate baller plan, the "Premium" plan (no ads, four devices, Ultra HD), clocks in at £17.99 a month. Perfect for large families or anyone who wants the best possible viewing experience.
"But wait!" I hear you cry. "How does this relate to Virgin Media?"
Well, if you subscribe directly to Netflix, you'll pay Netflix directly. Your Virgin Media bill will only cover your Virgin Media services. This is especially useful if you have a Virgin Media package which doesnt include Netflix or the option of Netflix.
The Bottom Line: Crunching the Numbers
So, which option is cheaper? It really depends on your Virgin Media package and the Netflix plan you're after.
The most direct way to figure out the best deal? Head over to the Virgin Media website and play around with their package builder. See what adding Netflix does to the monthly cost.
Then, compare that price to the cost of subscribing to Netflix directly. It might take a few minutes of comparing, but your wallet will thank you for your detective work!
Don't Forget the Hidden Gems!
Keep an eye out for special deals and promotions! Both Virgin Media and Netflix sometimes offer bundled discounts or free trials. It's like finding a twenty-pound note in your old jeans – a delightful surprise!
Consider how many people in your household will be using Netflix simultaneously. Sharing is caring, but paying for a plan that accommodates everyone is even better.
Happy streaming! Whether you choose to go through Virgin Media or subscribe directly to Netflix, prepare for hours of entertainment. Just remember to occasionally blink and maybe even venture outside. But only maybe.
