Virgin Media has launched its 2024 Black Friday deals three weeks before the November 29 date, and there are some huge savings to be had for TV and broadband fans. It comes the same day as rival provider Sky launches its offers. 

Virgin Media's free broadband offer stands out - offering a £0 price on its fibre broadband plans, including the combined TV and fibre broadband bundles. Something we've not seen yet from the likes of Sky or BT, you'll get a whole three months of the plan for free. 

For the first three months Virgin Media will ignore your monthly bill and charge you nothing, on month four of the 18-month plan is when you'll get charged your first monthly fee.

To cut to the chase it's available on these six fibre broadband plans. M250, M500, Gig1, the Bigger Bundle + Movies M350, Biggest Bundle M500+, and Biggest Bundle Gig1 plan. Shoppers will save a minimum of £86.97 (on the smallest M250 plan) with the biggest saving available to snap up on the Biggest Bundle plan - a £237 saving to be exact. 

Prices start at £28.99 per month and go up to £84.99 per month - of course this huge price difference includes some plans which  bundle in TV streaming along with the broadband too. 

We've listed the different broadband plans in the three month free Black Friday plan below, to help you make your choice.

You can see the full details of what's included in each plan at Virgin Media here. The broadband and TV bundles include more than 200 TV channels, and Sky Cinema HD and Sky Sports (depending on the plan you pick). 

Its broadband is certainly at the top of our list but there are also some worthy mobile deals to look at. The one that stands out most to us is the £920 saving on the Galaxy S24 phone - over at O2. However, as great as the savings are the device plans are for 48 months, so Sky's rival Black Friday offers may be more appealing thanks to the smaller 36-month plans.

Our writer Jake Hackney recently dug out its phone deals, and said: "Sky has also slashed the price of a range of smartphone and data plans with Sky Mobile’s Black Friday deals. Shoppers can save up to £276 on the new Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra from £38 a month – down from £48 – or save £180 on the Google Pixel 9 Pro from £29 a month – down from £34."
