If you're happy with the sound from your telly during must-see matches and blockbuster films, Virgin Media is offering the chance to switch to £125 in bill credit.
This free cash injection will automatically discount your monthly bills each month until it runs out. Depending on your broadband and telly package, you could find yourself paying £0 for the first few months of your new contract.
Even better, Virgin Media has waived the £35 setup fee that covers delivery costs and any engineer visits for the lifetime of your contract. Sonos is currently offering the Ray for £179 on sale on its store.
If you want to take delivery of a Sonos Ray, you'll need to plump for a Virgin Media bundle with both television and broadband deals from £44.99 per month.
Sonos Ray (£199) can be used to boost the audio from your flatscreen telly or any of the music apps on your phone

If you've been hoping for more channels and faster internet speeds, these packages are a superb way to upgrade your subscription and mean you're no longer putting up with tinny telly speakers.
Sound good? You'll need to move fast.
The sale ends at 11.59pm on August 27, 2025.
Sports fan? Virgin Media is also offering three months of TNT Sports for just £5 a month (£25 a month after) so you can watch the best action from the Premier League, UEFA Champions League, and UFC live on your brand-new telly. Or, if you pick the £145 bill credit, you can use this fund to discount your new TNT Sports subscription.
Following the merger between Virgin Media and O2 back in June 2021, anyone who signs up for Virgin Media will be eligible for O2 Priority. The loyalty scheme offers discounted cinema tickets, coffees and lunch deals from the biggest high street chains, as well as early access to gig tickets.
Earlier this year, Virgin Media announced free 24/7 monitoring for all customers on its network to preemptively fix faults before they cause headaches (or worst of all, outages) for its subscribers.
There's a 14-day cooling-off period with all of the above deals, so you'll be able to downgrade your bundle, tweak the fibre broadband speeds, or walk away entirely if you're not satisfied.
Before making the switch, make sure you're happy with both the new monthly cost and contract length. There's nothing worse than signing up for a deal only to realise you're stuck with it longer than you'd like. It's worth noting that you can always take advantage of the Sonos sale.
