Virgin Media countdown as retailer hands out free 50-inch TVs to these UK bill payers
It's not often brands hand out products for free, especially when it comes to home tech. That's exactly what Virgin Media are offering new customers this week, as it dishes out 50-inch Toshiba TVs for free. The deal sees shoppers get a £259.99 model for £0 if they take out one of three TV and broadband combo plans. A chance for users to get a new device ahead of the new Premier League season, or upgrade their broadband in time for the new school year, but the clock is ticking. Consumers only have a few days left to claim the deal, as it ends this Wednesday, August 13. The deal isn't available to everyone, shoppers have to take out either the Bigger Combo bundle + Sports, Biggest Combo bundle or the Mega Volt bundle, as we unveil the details below. All the above are plans suited for those who want to bundle in TV packages and reliable broadband speeds. However, the prices do go up depending on the TV channels added. Rivals Sky currently aren't offering any freebies with its TV and broadband combos, but some of the Virgin plans do include Sky Sports and Sky Cinema. There's also something on offer for shoppers who are happy with the TV they already have at home. Virgin Media also gives the option for consumers to pick a £145 bill credit. This goes off the price of the total package price, but is a way for consumers to get the plans at a reduced rate. It's worth highlighting that Sky's prices start at a much cheaper price, for instance, its Essential TV and Full Fibre 150 priced at £35 per month. Elsewhere, and BT could be an option for broadband shoppers with its Ultrafast Full Fibre plan. Virgin Media plans that come with free TV or £145 bill credit Below are all the details of the plans, which come with the choice of a free 50-inch TV or £145 bill credit, up until August 13. Starting at £54.99 is the Bigger Combo Bundle + Sports, geared up for footie and F1 fans (to name a few) it has more than £200 channels and even Sky Sports included. Next up in price is the £64.99 a month Biggest Combo Bundle, this has internet speeds of 516Mbps (the same as the above plan) and more than 210 TV channels. Then onto the most expensive, the Mega Volt Bundle, with a huge 1Gbps broadband, 230 TV channels, access to Sky Sports and Cinema, plus an O2 Unlimited SIM - all of this is for £79.99 though, so a much bigger price commitment. Customers should note that there is a fixed contract length, and if they leave before the term, will face an exit fee. It's 24 months for the Bigger Combo Bundle and Biggest Combo, but the Mega Volt bundle is less at 18 months. Another factor worth flagging, which is a downside to most providers not only Virgin Media, is inflation price hikes. In line with inflation each year, it states on its site that prices for contract payers can go up, something also outline on Sky and EE too. Despite running out in two days, there is a strong likelihood we'll see this deal Virgin Media deal (or something similar) appear again. It's not the first time the provider has offered this type of deal, just last month it dished out free Hisense TVs.

The gogglebox is also fully smart, has a 50-inch screen and offers pin-sharp 4K visuals. It's worth over £250 but that cost is scrapped when signing up for certain telly and broadband bundles. SEE THE VIRGIN DEAL HERE If any of that sounds enticing, then its pretty easy to claim. All you have to do is take out one of three Virgin plans, which include the Bigger Combo bundle + Sports, Biggest Combo bundle and Mega Volt bundle.

Things will also rise at the end of the deal so it's vital you are aware of hikes and call Virgin to get a better deal when the two-year plan ends.
