Virgin Media is offering a free 43-inch HD TV to customers who signs up to one of several broadband and TV bundles before July 1 – here’s how to claim
Virgin is offering new customers an Ultra HD LG TV worth £249.99.
Brits looking to bundle their broadband and TV services together may want to take a look at Virgin Media’s latest offer. The provider is currently giving away a free 43″ LG smart TV to customers who sign up for select packages by July 1.
The eligible packages start at £47.99 per month for Virgin’s Cinema bundle, delivering 362Mbps fibre broadband, said to be suitable for households with four to six people and more than ten devices. It also comes with Virgin Media’s TV service with more than 200 channels, Netflix, Sky Cinema HD and Sky Atlantic, making it an attractive option for fans of American films and series.
As an added bonus, subscribers will get a 43″ LG Ultra HD smart TV worth £249.99 at no extra cost, or the option to select £125 in bill credit as an alternative to the free TV. Virgin is offering the free TV deal across three other packages as well, including its £57.99 Sport bundle, which is the same as the Cinema bundle but swaps Sky Cinema for all nine Sky Sports channels.
This allows viewers to follow the Premier League, EFL, Formula One, and an extensive range of year-round sporting action, including golf, tennis and much more. For those attracted to both cinema and sporting content, there’s the £67.99 Sport + Cinema bundle, combining all previously mentioned cinema and sport channels with an enhanced 516Mbps broadband connection for optimal viewing.
This is particularly relevant as Virgin’s newest TV boxes function as streaming devices connected to home Wi-Fi rather than requiring traditional aerials. The top-tier option in the free TV deal is the £79.99 Max Volt bundle, boasting the fastest broadband speeds at 1,130Mbps, perfect for households where several people are gaming and streaming simultaneously, reports the Express.
Get an LG TV for free or £125 bill credit with Virgin Media
Virgin Media is giving away a free 43″ LG smart TV or £125 bill credit when customers switch to one of its Cinema, Sports, Cinema + Sports or Max Volt TV bundles.
It also includes more than 230 TV channels alongside Netflix, Sky Cinema HD, Sky Sports HD, and Sky Atlantic. The Virgin TV Go app also allows viewing while on the go. Additionally, the package includes an O2 Classic Plan SIM, offering unlimited data, minutes and texts.
While this may enhance the appeal, the overall monthly fee is substantial and bear in mind it increases annually, with this particular plan rising more than others. All promotional offers require a minimum 24-month commitment, so prospective customers should ensure they can maintain payments throughout this period.
Additionally, all contracts see an annual £4 monthly increase each April 1, with precise billing details provided upfront. It’s essential to verify Virgin Media’s availability in one’s location, as the provider doesn’t operate across the entire country.
Shoppers should visit Virgin’s website and enter their postcode to check before the offer expires on July 1. Elsewhere, Sky has reintroduced the most competitive pricing on its broadband and TV combination, with the Essential TV and Full Fibre 300Mbps package now available at £35 per month.
While this doesn’t include a free TV, customers switching providers mid-contract can receive up to £300 towards switching charges. Similar to many contracts, the annual price inflation at both Virgin and Sky represents a significant drawback, resulting in customers paying more each month from 2027 onwards into 2028.
Those contemplating a switch to Virgin’s plans will receive a complimentary TV, but should compare their current broadband and TV service costs to determine whether Virgin represents better value. For those purely seeking faster broadband, BT-owned Plusnet is currently offering fibre broadband from £24.99 per month.
This utilises the Openreach national network, which frequently covers areas where Virgin’s broadband network isn’t available.
