Do Virgin do an essentials package like BT Essentials with the higher speed?

I have only seen Virgin advertising one that is very slow broadband. Does anyone know please?
After many years, I have found my way back, and I am here. I have learned so much along the way, and hope I can help others who are still on the road I have travelled.

Your second sentence also does not answer the question.
However you have got across your snobby tone.
There is information on the tariff (15 Mbps) and eligibility criteria (seems to be that you need to be on UC) in the following link:

You can get only get 15Mbps for £15, the next tier is the M50 which never seems to be priced competitively, seems to be £30+ at the moment but you can get the M100 for about £20 - £30 depending on where you pick up the deal.
BT do have the £15 essentials for up to 36Mbps but does depend on your line speed so just have to weigh up whether your actual property can get the 36. The Virgin speeds are pretty much guaranteed in comparison.
BT also have a £20 essentials package with the same qualification criteria as the £15 but will get 50-73 Mbps.
Discounts, coupons and cashback:
2019 = £1,443.52
2020 = £1,191,76
