Big bundle vs Bigger Combo bundle – Which package should I choose?

Choosing the Bigger combo bundle can provide you more premium TV channels and a variety of broadband options for an affordable price. It gives you access to BT Sport and some popular Sky channels as well as fast internet speeds compared to the Big Bundle.

While most of the Big bundle channels are Freeview channels along with other popular channels like ITV, BBC, Channel 4, Channel 5 etc. There are over 100 channels, and you can also opt for the Big Bundle and Drama & Docs add-on, which allows you to watch over 130 channels, including some Sky channels and Comedy Central.

We think anyone looking for a better TV package should choose Virgin Media bigger bundle from these two affordable options, unless you’re willing to pay a little more for one of the the UK’s top TV packages, which is included in the pricey Mega Volt bundle.

However, the Big bundle is still Virgin Media’s basic TV service and suitable for casual TV lovers.
