Black Friday might be in the rearview mirror for another, but some incredible deals remain.
Virgin Media is still offering free broadband for new customers. You'll pay £0 for the first three months of your new contract, with the usual £35 setup waived too. There are plenty of broadband deals available around for Black Friday, but few that offer a £0 charge on your monthly Direct Debit.
Sign up for Virgin Media before 11:59pm on December 10, 2025 and you won't see any money leave your current account to cover broadband until February 2026.
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.
