Virgin Media Inc. (formerly known as NTL:Telewest, comprising a merger of NTL Incorporated with Telewest Global, Inc.), a Anglo-American company based mainly in the UK, became the first "quadruple-play" media-company in Britain, bringing together a so-called "Quad Play" service consisting of television, Internet, mobile phone and fixed-line telephone services. While the company has its headquarters in New York City, its activities focus heavily on the United Kingdom, with operational headquarters in Hook, North Hampshire.

Virgin.net operated as an Internet service provider (ISP) in the UK from November 1996 onwards. Once a joint venture between NTL and the Virgin Group, the ISP became wholly owned by NTL in 2004. It sold a range of ADSL broadband packages through BT landlines to those living outside areas served by NTL's cable-television network. Virgin.net broadband customers could receive up to 8 Mbit/s downstream and 400 kbit/s upstream, with usage-allowances depending on which package the user took. Virgin.net also offered bundled phone-services via Carrier Preselect (CPS) to broadband subscribers. The service offered various usage-allowances depending on which package a user took. Virgin.net also offered subscription-based and subscription-free dial-up Internet access. Prior to acquiring Virgin.net, NTL offered a similar package called NTL Freedom.

On February 8 2007, the services provided by Virgin.net became integrated into the new Virgin Media brand.
