Brand overview

Virgin Media sells WiFi Pods through its WiFi Max service for eligible broadband customers. Its older WiFi Boosters use powerline technology and are no longer available to customers. The pod order process can involve a service check and in-home signal test, so review account eligibility before searching for a free booster.
