Virgin Media Offer GBP50 to GBP100 Credit on its Broadband Bundles

Cable operator Virgin Media has complimented its existing free and half-price service discounts by adding a credit worth up to £100 to its various triple-play Essential, Premiere and VIP Collections (bundles of broadband, phone and TV). Some bundles also come with free installation.

Prices for the operators triple-play “Collections” now start at just £8 a month for the first 6 months (£18 thereafter) plus £14.99 line rental, which includes their entry-level 30Mbps broadband package, unlimited downloads (Traffic Management), a free SuperHub wireless router, unlimited weekend calls to UK landlines, internet security, 500GB TiVo box, 55+ TV channels (5 are HD) and an 18-month minimum term contract (£49.95 installation fee).

However the new credits only start with the ‘Essential Collection’ bundle (£50 credit), which is the same as the above package except it also includes a free installation, Virgin TV Anywhere, 80+ TV channels (6 are HD) and costs from £16 a month for the first 6 months (£26 thereafter). To get the top £100 credit you need to take Virgin’s 100Mbps VIP Collection.

Meanwhile customers who just want one of the operators dual-play broadband and phone bundles can still benefit from the 6 months free service deal on their 30Mbps package.

   All well and good but still out of reach to millions of UK households who don’t have fibre optic cables laid up to their front doors.

     Heheh no not really, its coax not fibre, the fibre termination is in a cab some distance from the property, its fibre to a cabinet which then feeds many other local cabinets via coax and from those cabinets via coax to the property

     You mean coax back to the street cabinets – which are left openly inviting to vandals around here for weeks on end.

     I’m surprised someone doesn’t just come along and rip out cables “for the hell of it” more often

   Agreed. Why not invest this money in expanding the network. If they expanded here they would have 100% share if the super fast broadband customer base as we have no fttc. I live 50meters short of a cable connection
