WiFi and landline deals
Unless you choose Virgin Media fibre broadband or opt for mobile broadband, you'll have to sign up for a landline alongside broadband.
The main thing to consider is how much you'll use your landline to make calls. Most WiFi and landline deals offer inclusive weekend and evening calls.
However, if you think you're likely to make landline calls during the day (most probably for work-related matters), it's probably a good idea to pay a few more pounds per month to get an anytime calls add-on.

What is WiFi?
WiFi is a another term for wireless broadband. It refers to a broadband signal that's transmitted around the house in the form of radio waves by a wireless router.
The result is that you can use a wireless signal to get online with multiple internet-enabled devices in all rooms of your home.
That's in contrast to old-fashioned wired broadband, which required you to plug in a cable to the device you wanted to use to go online. And could only provide internet connectivity to one device at a time.
How do I set up WiFi?
To set up WiFi, you simply have to plug in your router and download some broadband software. But it's important you think hard about where to place your router to ensure the signal extends around the home and won't mean that some rooms are blackspots.
We'd suggest you place it somewhere high-up or on a wall. And don't hide it away in a cupboard or behind something that'll obstruct the signal.
