Cable giant Virgin Media UK has launched a new promotion offering two months of free service on its triple and dual-play TV, broadband and phone bundles. Online purchases also benefit from free installation (saves up to £35), though this is only offered for purchases that include cable broadband and phone services as part of a bundle.

Prices for a triple play bundle start at £19.50 per month (free for 2 months) for a Size L broadband (10Mbps, "unlimited" downloads), Size M+ TV (65 digital TV channels) and Size M phone (unlimited weekend UK landline calls) package.

The two months free promotion will expire on 31st December 2009 and the free installation offer should come to a close on 31st January 2010. Some providers traditionally like to offer better promotions than usual before Christmas to encourage people to switch.
