Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Signing up for a new 18 month contract with Virgin Media to receive a free iPad To receive the iPad, customers need to sign onto an 18-month MegaVolt package, so for those looking to sign up for a new contract or network provider, it's a no-brainer. Although Virgin Media has extended this reward - it isn't going to last long. The £88.99 per month may seem like an eye-watering amount but alongside the iPad, the Megavolt package is also Virgin Media's best service and product. Within the 18 month contract, customers will have access to Netflix standard with ads, Sky Sports HD, and Sky Cinema HD - and consumers can even choose another subscription service for six months. But what exactly is included in the MegaVolt package? - Here are all the need-to-know numbers: 1130Mbps speed broadband Wi-Fi guarantee of 30Mbps in every room or £100 back More than 240 TV channels and subscription services - including Netflix standard with ads, Sky Sports HD and Sky Cinema HD A 250GB O2 SIM with up to 25GB of data roaming O2 A Hub 5 router and customers can choose a subscription service (Disney+, McAffee, Amazon Prime Video or Audible) for 6 months at no extra cost. First time hearing about this offer? Virgin Media is known for throwing in high-value gadgets and tech freebies with their broadband and TV packages. What's more, the network provider actually began this deal back in March. At present, the company has not confirmed whether the same deal will return later this year. But this is not the only reward that Virgin Media gives away, it also offers a referral scheme for a friend or family member to Virgin Media or VMO2, and by doing so, customers can receive £70 - a £20 boost on the standard £50 referral fee. This is inclusive of both broadband and phone contracts. There are also more changes to the network provider's standalone broadband packages. For an 18-month contract of 125Mbps, customers will only have to pay £25.99 per month - down from £54. From there, prices jump to £36.99 for 1Gbps contracts, but this is far and away a better saving than the standard £78. And for those customers who need even more from their provider, Virgin Media's top package is £69.99 for the first 18 months, after this time the package increases to £84 per month. All prices were correct at the time of writing. Always do your own research before making any purchases. 2 The company has not confirmed whether the same deal will return later this year Credit: Alamy
