When it comes to Black Friday deals, it's very tough to top "free".
As such, Virgin Media might have one of the most compelling offers for the blockbuster annual sale. Yes, the telecom is offering up to three months of free superfast broadband ahead of Black Friday, which falls on November 28.
It's true. You won't see any money leave your current account to cover broadband until 2026 rolls around. The award-winning firm has introduced this Black Friday giveaway across its popular M350, speedy M500, Gig1 broadband plans, so you can unlock the best coverage for you.
If you've completed the minimum contract term with your current broadband supplier, you can switch to a new deal at any time. Better yet, you don't even need to tell your existing provider that you're leaving or negotiate a final payment — everything is handled by the new brand.
But if you're still locked into a contract with another provider, Virgin Media will also give you up to £200 to cover the cost of any early termination fees. However, you'll need to claim within 60 days of activating your service.
Following its decision to overhaul everything in its online store last month, Virgin Media became the first telecom brand to offer a complementary Netflix subscription with a broadband-only plan. While Sky bundles this streamer with all of its TV bundles, it's not included with its broadband deals.
You'll be able to watch everything included in the catalogue with a free Netflix Standard with Ads subscription worth £5.99 a month. That's on top of the free broadband offer available this Black Friday.
You'll be able to sign in across your devices, including a smartphone or Smart TV, to watch at home or when you're on-the-move. If you already have an existing Netflix subscription, it's possible to transfer all of your viewing history, preferences, and ratings across to the new (free) account from Virgin.
If you're looking to take advantage of these deals, you have until 11:59pm December 10, 2025.
