Virgin Media has launched a flash sale offering free smart TVs to customers. The promotion, which started on May 18, allows customers to receive a £250 LG Smart TV for free when they sign up for one of four Virgin TV and broadband packages. These packages include hundreds of channels, complimentary Netflix, and the choice to include Sky Sports and Cinema coverage.

Upon availing the deal, customers can select either a 43” LG Ultra HD smart TV valued at £249.99 or a £125 bill credit, which essentially covers several weeks of service at no cost. However, customers must claim the offer by 11.59 pm on May 27 to be eligible.

Virgin’s TV packages offer over 200 channels and a free Netflix subscription, with the Cinema bundle including full Sky Cinema access and 362Mbps fibre broadband for £44.99. Sports enthusiasts may opt for the Sport bundle at £54.99, which provides complete Sky Sports coverage instead of Sky Cinema. Customers can also combine these options with the Sport + Cinema bundle for £64.99 or choose the comprehensive Max Volt bundle for £76.99, featuring over 230 TV channels, Netflix, 1,130Mbps broadband, and an unlimited O2 SIM.

In addition to the TV bundles, Virgin Media has introduced the One Touch Switch scheme, simplifying the switching process for new customers without requiring them to contact their existing provider. It ensures a seamless transition by having Virgin handle the switch on the customer’s behalf.

Customers considering Virgin Media’s offerings should note that monthly prices will increase by £4 every April, a factor to consider when committing to the 24-month contracts. Meanwhile, competitor Sky has launched a sale ahead of the World Cup, with reduced prices on their Glass smart TVs, starting as low as £4.50 per month.

While Virgin Media garners positive reviews from customers praising its fast broadband speeds and value for money, some have reported minor issues during the registration process. Nonetheless, many customers express satisfaction with the services provided, citing easy controls, voice command features, a wide range of channels, high-speed broadband, and competitive pricing as key highlights of their experience with Virgin Media.
