Virgin Media is offering complimentary smart TVs as part of a limited-time sale preceding the conclusion of the FIFA World Cup today. In anticipation of the tournament kick-off on June 11, the company introduced a special promotion allowing customers to acquire a free £250 LG Smart TV.
To access this offer, individuals need to sign up for one of four Virgin TV and broadband packages, each featuring an extensive selection of channels, complimentary Netflix subscription, and the possibility to add Sky Sports and Cinema coverage. These packages include Virgin’s Cinema, Sports, Cinema + Sports, or Max Volt options.
Upon seizing this opportunity, customers can opt for a 43” LG Ultra HD smart TV valued at £249.99 or a £125 bill credit, which essentially equates to several weeks of free service. However, time is of the essence as customers must claim this deal by 11.59 pm on Wednesday, May 27.
Each of Virgin’s eligible TV packages encompasses over 200 TV channels and a free Netflix subscription. For instance, the £44.99 Cinema bundle provides full Sky Cinema access and 362Mbps fibre broadband, catering to fans of football, Formula 1, and rugby. Alternatively, the £54.99 Sport bundle replaces Sky Cinema with complete Sky Sports coverage.
Customers also have the option to combine both packages with the £64.99 Sport + Cinema bundle, which boosts broadband speed to 512Mbps. For those seeking a comprehensive entertainment solution, the £76.99 Max Volt bundle includes over 230 TV channels, comprising Sky Cinema and Sky Sports, along with Netflix, 1,130Mbps broadband, and an unlimited O2 SIM.
By transitioning to one of Virgin’s Cinema, Sports, Cinema + Sports, or Max Volt TV bundles before May 27, customers can claim a complimentary 43″ LG smart TV or receive a £125 bill credit. Additionally, Virgin has implemented the new One Touch Switch scheme, streamlining the process for new customers by handling the transition from their current provider.
It’s essential to note that Virgin’s monthly prices increase by £4 annually in April, a factor customers should consider before committing to the 24-month contracts. Meanwhile, ahead of the World Cup, Sky has launched a competing sale where their Glass smart TVs are discounted, starting as low as £4.50 per month.
In a bid to rival Sky’s offerings, Amazon has introduced its revamped Fire TV range, including the Ember Artline model, which is significantly reduced in price to compete with Samsung’s The Frame TV.
Virgin Media has garnered praise from numerous customers who have signed up for their TV and broadband packages, lauding the ‘blisteringly fast’ broadband speeds and excellent value. Positive reviews highlight the seamless installation process and the user-friendly operation of the TV packages.
Customers have commended Virgin’s service quality, citing benefits such as easy-to-use controls, voice control functionality, a vast channel selection, high broadband speeds, and competitive pricing.
