Verdict: IPTV costs less and has no contract; Virgin Media is licensed and accountable.
Virgin Media bundles broadband with TV, which can look like good value on the surface. The TV part of the bundle adds to your bill every month, and you are on a minimum-term agreement with exit fees if you leave early. In return, Virgin holds the carriage rights to its channels, which this site does not claim for Vivimate IPTV.

Keep in mind that Virgin’s broadband is part of the bundle: if you drop the TV, you still need a broadband plan. Vivimate is priced in US dollars, so your bank’s exchange rate applies. Sports fans should note that Sky Sports and TNT Sports hold the UK’s live Premier League rights; this site does not claim those channels on Vivimate IPTV.
