This special deal is set to run until December 17, giving customers just a few hours left to claim their freebie before the opportunity expires.

The Ray-Ban smart glasses are packed with advanced features, including a 12MP ultrawide camera, open-ear speakers, Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity, and Wi-Fi 6 support. They also come equipped with Meta AI for hands-free capture and AI assistance, enabling users to make calls, record, and stream content effortlessly.

  • M500 Sport + Cinema bundle & Netflix – £74.99 per month
  • Gig1 Max Volt bundle – £84.99 per month

Alternative Offer for Non-Glasses Enthusiasts

If the free glasses are not of interest, Virgin Media is also providing a more traditional Christmas bonus by offering a £125 bill credit to customers who opt for this alternative. This can be particularly useful for those looking to save money on their upcoming bills, especially after the festive season.

Other Providers Offering Deals in Scotland

For Scots seeking great deals on their TV and broadband packages, there are several other providers offering competitive rates:

Expert Analysis from Uswitch

According to Uswitch, Virgin Media remains a strong contender for those who use the internet extensively. They noted that Virgin’s TV offering is extensive and can be easily bundled with its other services, making it an appealing choice for households.

“Virgin Media is a great option for any household that uses the internet a lot,” said Uswitch in their analysis. “And if you want access to the biggest TV shows, sports fixtures, and movies, Virgin’s TV offering is extensive and can be easily bundled with its other services.” However, they also pointed out that a broadband connection on the Openreach network might offer more reliability and consistency than Virgin Media’s network.

Experts recommend considering these factors while making your choice. For those who prioritize reliable connectivity over smart glasses, providers like BT, Sky, Plusnet, TalkTalk, or NOW Broadband might be worth exploring as well.

The race is on for shoppers to take advantage of this limited-time offer from Virgin Media. With just a few hours left before the deal expires, customers are advised to act quickly to secure their free smart glasses or £125 bill credit.
