Virgin Mobile (ntl:
Telewest) and broadband provider Virgin.net have joined forces to offer a years free up to 8Mbps broadband (6GB cap) to customers that take one of Virgin Mobiles new SIM-only pay monthly tariffs:
Anyone joining Virgin Mobiles £15 (normally £20) or £30 (normally £32) a month SIM-only service will be able to save up to £275* by registering for 12 months free broadband through Virgin.net. The free broadband service will offer customers up to 8 Mbps download speeds, a 6 Gigabyte monthly download allowance (which is more than enough for most households) and everything thats needed to get online, including free set-up and a free broadband modem. Customers have three months to redeem the Virgin.net free broadband offer once they have joined Virgin Mobile.
Virgin.nets free broadband offer is available to all new Virgin Mobile £15 & £30 SIM-only customers but only until the 31st October 2006 via Virgin Mobile Stores and those within Virgin Megastores or online at http://www.virginmobile.com/freebroadband . Once the SIM is active (usually within 24 hours), customers can join Virgin.nets free broadband service at http://www.virgin.net/freebroadband or by calling 0845 045 1307.
Virgin Mobiles SIM-only service doesnt require customers to commit to a long term contract so, as long as a customer stays on the Virgin Mobile SIM-only tariff, the free broadband just keeps coming until the 12 months are up. If a customer chooses to leave Virgin Mobile, they can decide whether or not to start paying for their broadband service from Virgin.net
* 300 minutes and 300 texts (normally £20/month) but on offer for £15/month plus Virgin.Net broadband (normally £17.99/month) offer price £15/month (combined saving of £22.99/month). Saving is 12x5 + 12x17.99 = £275.88.
