Virgin Media Launch Ultimate Smart Home Packages 

 

10^th October 2019: Virgin Media has today launched their Smart Home packages, offering customers ultimate flexibility of devices in the home. Partnering with Google and TP-Link, Virgin Media are offering customers the very best in smart home technology with a range of tailored packages. Virgin Media Ireland is also the  first Liberty Global market to offer the new Smart Home packs to its broadband customers in what can be seen as Virgin Media’s continued evolution into offering their customers the very best in connected entertainment.

 

The new Virgin Media Smart Home packs are now available to all Virgin Media broadband customers from as little as €15 a month, including installation by a dedicated Virgin Media Smart Home technician - ensuring customers are getting the very best from their new smart devices. Virgin Media Smart Home packs are also up to €129 cheaper than the recommended retail price of the bundles being purchased separately with a technician install.

 

There are three smart home packs for Virgin Media broadband customers to choose from, Entertainment Pack, The Home Automation Pack and the Complete Pack. From voice-controlled speakers that control your smart tech and entertain the family, to smart doorbells, Virgin Media customers looking to upgrade their in-home technology are sure to find a pack that’s right for them. There are even smart plugs that let you turn appliances on and off, even when you’re not at home so customers can control their home effortlessly and instantly; all powered by Ireland’s fastest in-home Wi-Fi.*

 

Announcing the new Smart Home packages, Karen Faughnan, Senior Propositions Manager at Virgin Media Ireland said “We are excited to be partnering with Google to bring our consumers the best smart technology, powered by Ireland’s fastest in-home Wi-Fi.

 

We know that smart home devices can be difficult and time consuming to set up but with a complete set-up by our dedicated technicians, our customers will be enjoying the benefits of smart technology without any hassle. At Virgin Media, we also know no two homes are the same, which is why we are offering a range of Smart Home Packages, with one sure to suit every household.” 

 

Packages start from as little as €15 a month with customers free to keep the smart technology once the 12 monthly payments are complete. You can learn more about Virgin Media’s new Smart Home Packages at VirginMedia.ie/smarthome
