Vodafone/Sky over Virgin Media connection

maki · 22-03-2025 12:34PM #1

I had a call to my apartment door the other day from a Vodafone salesperson, telling me that I can now get Vodafone via some partnership with Virgin Media.

I've looked this up, and it seems like it only applies to Virgin's fibre network, which I'm pretty sure I'm not on. I only have the old VM coax connection in my living room, and Virgin offer me 1GB max. There's definitely no ONT anywhere.

SIRO and OpenEir say they're not available at my address, although someone did install a little box on the ceiling just outside my apartment door about a year ago, which I believe is related.

Both Vodafone and Sky's websites tell me I can get 1GB broadband from them.

Is this a mistake maybe? If not, how does it work?

Have a look on the below websites to get a better idea of what’s available. The connection doesn’t have to be already in your apartment to be available, the cable can be brought in when ordered. If 1Gb is available only from Sky and Vodafone it would seem to me it is Virgin Media FTTP as Virgin Media only have wholesale deals with both of them.
