Cable operator Virgin Media will today reduce the cost of their entry-level 50Mbps “Big Connection” broadband and phone package and their 152Mbps triple-play “Big Kahuna” bundle significantly for the first 12 months of service, although the new prices will only be available until 12th March 2015.
At present the Big Connection and Big Kahuna packages cost from £12 and £39 per month respectively for the first 12 months of service (£17.50 and £49 per month thereafter), although under the new offer the first 12 months for both packages will cost from just £8.75 and £33 respectively.
As usual an 18 month contract applies to both and Virgin Phone Line Rental for £16.99 a month is also payable on top of the broadband price, although the line rental can be reduced to the equivalent of £13.66 per month when pre-paid for one year in advance.

NOTE: At the time of writing only Virgin’s Big Kahuna bundle has added the discount, but to see the Big Connection price cut you have to go here until they update the public site.
