- New customers can choose Meta Ray Ban smart glasses or £125 bill credit
- Cheapest qualifying bundle starts at £46.99 per month
- Includes fast broadband, over 200 TV channels and Netflix
- Offer ends December 17 and setup fee is waived
Virgin Media has rolled out one of its more eye catching new customer incentives, pairing its broadband and TV bundles with a choice of either Meta Ray Ban smart glasses or a generous bill credit.
The offer is available to new customers who sign up to selected TV and broadband packages on a 24 month contract and complete their order before December 17.
Free gifts with broadband contracts are nothing new, but a wearable tech product with a retail price north of three hundred pounds is a rare sight in this market. For those who are less interested in gadgets, the alternative of a £125 bill credit offers a simpler and more flexible saving.
This promotion is clearly aimed at customers considering a switch before the end of the year, especially households looking to bundle fast internet with a full TV service.
What the deal includes and who can get it
The headline incentive gives new customers a choice. You can either receive a pair of Meta Ray Ban smart glasses, first generation, worth £329, or opt for £125 off your Virgin Media bills. Both options are tied to selected broadband and TV bundles taken out on a 24 month contract.
The most affordable qualifying package is the M350 Cinema bundle with Netflix, priced at £46.99 per month.
This includes average download speeds of 362Mbps, more than 200 TV channels, and Netflix Standard with ads. For many homes, this speed tier comfortably supports streaming, gaming, video calls and multiple connected devices at once.
Virgin Media has also included higher priced bundles aimed at specific audiences. Sports fans can choose packages that bundle in premium sports channels, with prices starting from £59.99 per month depending on the content selected.
All qualifying customers also benefit from the removal of the standard £35 setup fee, which adds a further saving upfront. On top of that, Virgin Media has recently added a selection of themed TV channels covering genres like comedy, crime and mystery, all included at no extra cost.
Smart glasses or bill credit and how each option works
The Meta Ray Ban smart glasses are the more eye catching option. Built into classic Ray Ban frames, they allow wearers to listen to audio, take calls, capture photos and video, and livestream content without reaching for a phone.
The technology is discreetly integrated, making them look more like everyday sunglasses than a piece of tech.
For customers who prefer something more practical, the £125 bill credit may be the smarter choice.
The credit is applied automatically to your first bill, with any remaining balance rolling over to future bills until it is fully used. It can also be put towards on demand content purchases through Virgin TV, offering extra flexibility.
Both options are available at sign up, but once selected, the choice cannot usually be changed later. As with most Virgin Media offers, availability is subject to location and eligibility checks.
Extra perks and why timing matters
Beyond the main incentive, Virgin Media has layered in a few additional perks that make this deal more appealing. The waived setup fee reduces the initial cost of switching, and the expanded TV channel lineup adds ongoing value throughout the contract term.
There is also a referral scheme running alongside the promotion. Existing customers who recommend Virgin Media to friends or family can earn a £50 reward for each successful referral, which can quickly add up.
The key point to note is the deadline. This offer is scheduled to end on December 17, leaving a limited window for anyone who has been considering a switch. With the broadband market becoming increasingly competitive, deals like this are unlikely to hang around for long.
For households that already planned to bundle broadband and TV, the added incentive of a high value freebie or meaningful bill reduction makes this promotion particularly strong.
