Virgin Media is offering a limited-time flash sale that provides customers with £300 in travel vouchers to spend on holidays booked via Trip.com. The promotion is designed to attract Brits away from competitors such as Sky and BT, with the vouchers usable for flights, hotels, or package holidays.
To secure the offer, new customers must sign up for Virgin Media's Max Volt bundle by midnight on May 13. The bundle includes Gig1 fibre broadband with speeds up to 1,130 Mbps, over 230 TV channels including Sky Sports and Sky Cinema, a complimentary Netflix subscription, and an unlimited O2 SIM card, all for a monthly price of £78.99.
Key Details of the Deal
There is no setup fee to activate the deal, and customers will receive their £300 Trip.com gift card provided they maintain the package for more than 55 days. The included O2 SIM allows unlimited data, minutes, and texts while roaming in 75 destinations at no extra cost.
Max Volt customers can also unlock additional benefits when adding an O2 pay monthly plan, such as double mobile data on eligible plans and a WiFi guarantee that ensures minimum download speeds of 30 Mbps or £100 credit back.
Price Increases and Competitor Offers
However, there is a catch: monthly prices for the 24-month Max Volt bundle contract will rise to £85.49 from April 2027 and to £91.99 from April 2028. Meanwhile, Sky is offering its own incentives, with customers signing up to the £24 Ultimate TV bundle receiving free subscriptions to Netflix, HBO Max, Disney+, discovery+, and Hayu, reportedly worth around £240 per year, along with 135 TV channels.
For those seeking a standalone broadband package, Plusnet offers reward cards worth up to £125 to spend online and at high street retailers. Plusnet fibre broadband starts at £22.99 per month for Full Fibre 74, with the largest reward card available alongside the £31.99 Full Fibre 900 plan.
Customer Reviews
Virgin Media has garnered numerous positive reviews on Trustpilot. One customer wrote: "Great service by very professional, knowledgeable and courteous staff. Easy install as previous Virgin Media equipment still in place. Really good wi-fi signal and obviously good support available if needed." Another added: "Great, simple and easy. The engineer was friendly and installed the cable without fuss. My internet has gone from a patchy 12Mb to a solid 500Mb for the same price, plus Netflix."
While one reviewer experienced a rocky start, they praised the company's customer service: "Bad start but good customer service response. The onboarding process was terrible, especially the account number and area reference number that I never received, but the customer service saved the day." Another five-star review noted: "Seamless switch over from Sky. Professional engineers who turned up on time, polite and work completed quickly and efficiently. Explained how to use the new media well."
