Virgin Media is currently offering a special promotion where customers can receive a complimentary smart TV in anticipation of the FIFA World Cup concluding today. The offer, launched prior to kick-off on June 11, allows customers to secure a free £250 LG Smart TV by signing up for one of four Virgin TV and broadband packages. These packages include a wide range of benefits such as hundreds of channels, free Netflix, and the option to add Sky Sports and Cinema coverage. Customers can choose between Virgin’s Cinema, Sports, Cinema + Sports, or Max Volt packages.
Upon availing of this promotion, customers have the choice of receiving 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 this offer by 11.59 pm on Wednesday, May 27.
Virgin’s eligible TV packages offer more than 200 TV channels and a complimentary Netflix subscription. The Cinema bundle, priced at £44.99, also includes full Sky Cinema access and 362Mbps fibre broadband. For sports enthusiasts, the Sport bundle, priced at £54.99, replaces Sky Cinema with comprehensive Sky Sports coverage. Customers can also combine both packages with the Sport + Cinema bundle at £64.99, which boosts broadband speed to 512Mbps. The premium Max Volt bundle, priced at £76.99, features over 230 TV channels, including both Sky Cinema and Sky Sports, along with Netflix, 1,130Mbps broadband, and an unlimited O2 SIM.
Virgin Media is offering a choice between a free 43″ LG smart TV or a £125 bill credit to customers who switch to one of its Cinema, Sports, Cinema + Sports, or Max Volt TV bundles by May 27. Additionally, Virgin has introduced the One Touch Switch scheme, simplifying the process for new customers as they don’t need to contact their current provider for the switch. Instead, Virgin handles the transition on their behalf.
It is important to note that Virgin’s monthly prices increase by £4 each April, so customers should consider this when committing to the 24-month contracts. Sky has also launched a competitive sale leading up to the World Cup, offering reduced prices on its Glass smart TVs starting from £4.50 per month.
In other news, Amazon has unveiled its revamped Fire TV lineup, introducing the new Ember Artline model at a discounted price, aiming to rival Samsung’s The Frame TV.

One customer commended the seamless experience from ordering to installation, highlighting the fast broadband speeds and intuitive TV operation. Another customer appreciated the friendly engineers and smooth changeover process, despite encountering minor registration issues.
