Virgin Media are the latest broadband provider to offer free broadband after we have seen BE Broadband and BT Broadband offer the same in recent days.

The Virgin Media broadband offer is for 3 months free broadband when customers take out a combined package of Broadband L and Phone M services. Originally Virgin were offering an introductory rate of £5 per month for this but has wiped the £5 per month to make it free for 3 months. If you combine the other offer currently running of the Virgin Media free installation offer (worth £30) then new customers can make a saving of £45.

After a customer has had their 3 months free broadband they will then revert to the standard charges of £14 plus £11 line rental so a total of £25 per month.

The Broadband L package gives customers a 10Mb fibre broadband connection with unlimited usage (fair use policy applies). The Phone M part of the package gives customers free evening and weekend calls to UK landlines. Customers will also receive a free wireless router to use to connect their broadband with.

Virgin are also to reduce the price of their 50Mb broadband (view here) starting on the 1st September for any customers who want to have super fast broadband.
