A special website was initially setup for this &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/beconnected-virginmedia.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>https:\/\/beconnected-virginmedia.com<\/strong><\/a>, which was promptly removed after we queried what the business rationale was for such an offer.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vm\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Virgin Media<\/a> were offering a basic 10Mbps (average download speed) unlimited broadband service with an included HUB 3.0 router for free on a 30-day (monthly) contract term. The service itself had a target speed of 15Mbps, which made it seem very similar to their social tariff (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2020\/11\/cheap-15mb-virgin-media-plan-for-universal-credit-users-is-live.html\">here<\/a>), except of course for being free instead of costing \u00a315 per month.<\/p>\n<p>However, the terms for this most unusual of offers did require customers to &#8220;<em>consent to marketing<\/em>&#8221; in return for receiving the &#8220;<em>free<\/em>&#8221; service, although they didn&#8217;t clarify what sort of marketing people could expect to receive or how often.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Be Connected Broadband Terms<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>New residential customers only. Limited trial only available to approximately 200 eligible new customers. Premises must already have an existing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vm\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Virgin Media<\/a> pre-wire installed. Customer must consent to marketing to receive free service. 30 day rolling contract, \u00a30 a month. Broadband only. If you upgrade any aspect of the service, standard pricing may apply to that upgrade unless offer is made available. Virgin Media reserves the right to withdraw or amend the pricing if you change any part of your package. Virgin Media reserves the right to withdraw this offer at any time. Offer may not be used in conjunction with any other offer unless stated by Virgin Media<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The operator would only confirm to ISPreview.co.uk that the offer of a free broadband service was indeed genuine and part of a small trial, but sadly they declined to provide any further information. Queue plenty of head scratching, as we try to work out whether the marketing requirement would be enough to cover the costs of such a service (this requirement was only mentioned in the small print).<\/p>\n<p>Finally, a second trial has been confirmed, which involved &#8220;<em>some<\/em>&#8221; existing customers of their 100Mbps download package being granted a significant 20Mbps boost to their uploads (normally 10Mbps). The bad news is that this speed trial will only be running for a limited period of time, and we assume it&#8217;ll revert to 10Mbps at some point in the future.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>A Virgin Media spokesperson told ISPreview.co.uk:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are always working to improve our products so regularly trial new services and offers. We have some really exciting projects underway and our customers have a lot to look forward to.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Earlier this year (Jan-Feb 2021) we did notice that Virgin Media were advertising their 100Mbps package with an upload speed of 20Mbps, although they later confirmed that this was in fact a website &#8220;<em>error<\/em>.&#8221; We queried whether the 20Mbps upload trial was related to that advertising blunder, but were informed that it was a separate trial &#8211; indeed some of those who got the boost have been customers since before that occurred.<\/p>\n<p>In short, VMO2 may have just given us a brief but tantalising hint of things to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadband ISP Virgin Media UK (VMO2) has recently been spotted running a couple of interesting trials, one of which appeared to give a limited number of people access to take a completely &#8220;free&#8221; 10Mbps broadband service, while the other doubled the upload speeds for selected customers on their 100Mbps tier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27288,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[419,56,475],"class_list":["post-27287","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-docsis3-1","tag-fttp","tag-virgin-media"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
