Top Tech: Get a free £260 TV but only if you beat this Virgin Media deadline
Virgin Media is dishing out a £260 4K smart TV for free, but the limited time 'lightning deal' is entering its final hours. Virgin Media is back with one of its TV giveaways, but the clock is ticking before the deal ends on Wednesday. Last week, the provider kicked off a seven-day 'lightning deal' where customers can sign up for certain TV and broadband bundles and get a free 4K smart TV. However, the deal is entering its final hours and is due to expire at 11.59pm on Wednesday (August 13). Shoppers who sign up to one of four 24-month Virgin packages before the deadline will receive a 50" Toshiba Ultra HD TV worth £259.99. Customers can choose a £145 bill credit instead if they prefer, with Virgin also waiving the £35 setup fee. This isn't the first time Virgin has run the deal, but this time it comes alongside the brand's Summer of Sports sale, which means as there's also discounts of up to £336 up for grabs. 'Brilliant Shark fan that's saved me this summer has £50 off as UK heatwave arrives' 63p-a-day supplement for menopausal women that helps them 'feel like their old selves' This comes just in time for the start of the new Premier League season, which gets underway on Friday. The eligible packages include Virgin's Bigger Combo bundle + Sports and Biggest Combo bundle, both of which come packed with hundreds of TV channels, super-fast fibre broadband and Sky Sports access. These are the perfect plans for sports fans, providing eight dedicated Sky Sports channels including Main Event, Premier League, Football, Golf and F1. Moreover, Virgin is offering a TNT Sports add-on for £5 per month for three months, a significant drop from the usual £25, providing access to additional Premier League and UEFA Champions League matches. However, there is a catch to Virgin's plans, as the provider will hike its prices each April during the 24-month term in an inflation-linked change similar to rivals like Sky and BT. For example, the Bigger Combo bundle + Sports will rise to £58.49 from April 2026 and £61.99 from April 2027. The free TV comes with the following packages: Bigger Combo bundle + Movies – £44.99 200+ TV channels, Sky Cinema HD, 362Mbps broadband Free 50' TV or £145 bill credit Bigger Combo bundle + Sports – £54.99 (was £65.99) 200+ TV channels, Sky Sports HD, 516Mbps broadband Free 50' TV or £145 bill credit £264 discount Biggest Combo bundle – £64.99 (was £78.99) 210+ TV channels, Sky Sports HD, Sky Cinema HD, Netflix Standard with Ads, 516Mbps broadband Free 50' TV or £145 bill credit £336 discount Mega Volt bundle – £79.99 (was £84.99) 230+ TV channels, Sky Sports HD, Sky Cinema HD, Netflix Standard with Ads, 1,130Mbps broadband, O2 SIM card with unlimited data, calls and texts Free 50' TV or £145 bill credit £120 discount In other news, Sky is offering its own Sky Sports plan for £20 per month for new customers, which works out at roughly 66p per day over 30 days. This introductory price can be added on to an existing Sky TV package, while those without a membership can snap up the £35 Essential TV and Sky Sports bundle. This comes as the brand increases its Premier League coverage from 128 games to at least 215 from the 2025/26 season. Sky claims this represents 80% of all televised games, but keep in mind football fans can catch each fixture with both Sky and Virgin's sports packages.

Just hours remain on Virgin Media's free 4K TV deal
Virgin Media has confirmed that its free 4K TV offer is coming to an end tonight - so be quick It's a rare occasion when you receive something free, but that's precisely what Virgin Media is currently offering. The telecoms behemoth has been gifting a free 4K TV over the past week to customers who opt for certain bundles. A 50-inch Hisense television is up for grabs, but Virgin has now confirmed this eye-catching giveaway will end tonight (July 9) at 11:59pm - so make sure shoppers act fast to claim the deal. If a free 4K TV tickles your fancy, it's straightforward to secure one. Virgin has confirmed that the television will be dispatched once you subscribe to plans such as the Bigger Combo bundle + Movies, Biggest Combo bundle, and Mega Volt bundle. Upon confirmation of the 24-month contract, the 50-inch TV - valued at over £240 - will be delivered right to your door. If a new telly isn't on the wishlist, shoppers can choose to have a £200 bill credit applied to their account instead. Here is a rundown of all the deals and what they include: Bigger Combo bundle + Movies Bigger Combo bundle + Sports Ideal for connected homes with four to six people and 10+ devices TV from everywhere, at home and on the go Biggest Combo bundle Great for super-connected homes with six to eight people and 10+ devices My Watchlist allows you to save shows from anywhere, all in one place Sky channels, Sky Sports HD and Sky Cinema HD Netflix standard with ads Mega Volt bundle Blazing-fast speed for busy households gaming and streaming at the same time WiFi guarantee TV from everywhere, at home and on the go Sky Cinema HD and Sky Sports HD Netflix standard with ads Like all providers, Virgin Media will hike prices during the contract term and at its conclusion, so it's wise to negotiate a better deal with them or be prepared to switch to a new offer. It's also crucial to verify that Virgin Media's cables are accessible in your area, as not every household can connect to this Internet Service Provider (ISP). Alternatively, while Sky doesn't have any free offers ongoing, it does have some cheaper alternatives. Sky's £35.99 Essential TV and Full Fibre 150 bundle is a great cheaper alternative. EE is also a good provider to consider for those who want just internet. The brand has some of the fastest speeds from £29.99 if TV is something that's not needed.

Virgin Media's free TV deal ends soon as countdown begins
Virgin Media is giving away 4K smart TVs worth £250 but the deal is due to end on Wednesday Virgin Media is urging customers to act now to avoid missing out on a free TV giveaway. The provider recently relaunched a popular deal offering new customers a free 50' Hisense Ultra HD Smart TV or £200 bill credit when they sign up for select TV and broadband bundles. However, Virgin has now started a countdown to the end of the deal at 11.59pm on Wednesday, July 9. One major difference to the latest deal is its eligibility across a range of plans; usually, Virgin's giveaways are only available with its most pricey packages, but the latest deal can be secured by those on a range of budgets. The most affordable option is the £44.99 Bigger Combo bundle + Movies, which provides access to more than 200 TV channels including Sky Cinema HD, plus 362Mbps fibre broadband. Sports fans may prefer the £65.99 Bigger Combo bundle + Sports as it replaces Sky Cinema with eight dedicated Sky Sports channels. There's also the option for a faster internet connection, with the £78.99 Biggest Combo bundle boosting the broadband to a speedy 516Mbps alongside more than 210 channels, as well as both Sky Sports HD, Sky Cinema HD and Netflix's Standard with ads plan. Virgin's all singing, all dancing package is the £84.99 Mega Volt bundle, which boasts more than 230 TV channels including Sky Sports HD, Sky Cinema HD and Netflix Standard with ads, plus a mega 1,130Mbps broadband. Members also receive an O2 SIM card with unlimited data, minutes and texts. New customers securing any one of these four packages can choose between the free Hisense TV or £200 deducted off their monthly bills. However, Virgin recently made a change to its TV and broadband plans that may be off putting for Brits who value flexibility. Previously, Virgin's plans ran for 18 months, but they have now been extended to last for 24, matching the minimum term of rivals like Sky. While Virgin does not charge a set-up fee with these plans, the same contract length makes the cheaper price point of Sky's £35 Essential TV and Full Fibre 150 Broadband bundle more appealing. While this plan includes roughly 100 channels less than Virgin and offers slower broadband, it may be a better option for those looking to keep costs down. It's also worth noting that, like most providers, Virgin plans to increase its monthly prices every April in an inflation-linked rise. Virgin has already confirmed members on the Bigger Combo bundle + Movies will pay £48.49 per month from April 2026 and £51.99 from April 2027. Here's a full breakdown of the eligible TV and broadband packages: Bigger Combo bundle + Movies – £44.99 per month 362Mbps average download speed 200+ TV channels Sky Cinema HD and Sky channels Bigger Combo bundle + Sports – £65.99 per month 362Mbps average download speed 200+ TV channels Eight Sky Sports channels, including Main Event and F1 Biggest Combo bundle – £78.99 per month 516Mbps average download speed 210+ TV channels Sky channels, Sky Sports HD and Sky Cinema HD Netflix Standard with ads Mega Volt bundle – £84.99 per month
