Virgin Media has launched a 10-day flash sale offering new customers a free £250 LG Smart TV when they sign up for select broadband and TV bundles. The deal, which started on Monday, May 18, runs until 11:59 pm on Wednesday, May 27.
What Bundles Qualify?
Customers can choose from four bundles: Cinema, Sports, Cinema + Sports, or Max Volt. Each includes over 200 TV channels, a complimentary Netflix subscription, and the option to add Sky Sports and Cinema content. Upon securing the offer, subscribers can opt for a 43-inch LG Ultra HD smart TV valued at £249.99 or a £125 account credit, effectively providing weeks of free service.
Bundle Details and Pricing
The £44.99 Cinema package includes full Sky Cinema access and 362Mbps fibre broadband. The £54.99 Sport package substitutes Sky Cinema with full Sky Sports content, ideal for football, Formula 1, and rugby fans. The £64.99 Sport + Cinema package combines both and boosts broadband speed to 512Mbps. The premium £76.99 Max Volt package offers over 230 TV channels, both Sky Cinema and Sky Sports, Netflix, 1,130Mbps broadband, and an unlimited O2 SIM.
Easy Switching with One Touch Switch
Virgin Media has adopted the One Touch Switch scheme, meaning new customers no longer need to contact their existing provider. Virgin handles the switch directly, liaising with the previous supplier to complete the changeover seamlessly.
Important Considerations
Customers should note that Virgin's monthly charges increase by £4 every April, which is important to consider before committing to a 24-month contract. This offer comes as Sky launches a competing sale ahead of the World Cup, with its Glass smart TVs reduced to as little as £4.50 per month. Amazon has also introduced its rebranded Fire TV range and the new Ember Artline model with up to £320 off.
Customer Reviews
Virgin Media has received thousands of positive reviews, with customers praising its 'blisteringly fast' broadband speeds and 'great value'. One customer said: "What an excellent experience from initial ordering to installation. Speeds are blisteringly fast, and signals are strong throughout the house." Another added: "Best thing I've done. Controls are easy to use, and I love voice control. I'm impressed with the number of channels, the speed of my broadband and best of all, the price."
However, some customers noted registration difficulties. One reviewer mentioned issues with the registration journey, receiving multiple emails to sign up before the account was active. Despite this, overall satisfaction remains high.
