Bournemouth beach-goers confronted by 25ft Richard Branzilla creature emerging from the sea.
Virgin Media has announced the arrival of its quad-play bundle in a rather bizarre manner. A 25ft (8 metre) monster with the beard and hairstyle of Richard Branson emerged from the sea in Bournemouth carrying a TV, laptop, landline phone and mobile.
The giant sea creature, which took more than 500 hours to scuplt, is as tall as a two-storey home and weighs more than six tonnes.
Virgin Media has the unique distinction of being the first UK provider to offer broadband, TV, landline and mobile phone all-in-one. The Big Kahuna package, for instance, gives you 152Mb broadband, 230 TV channels, TiVo set-top box and a mobile phone plan that includes 250MB of data, unlimited texts and unlimited minutes for £50 a month plus £15.99 line rental.
A cheaper quad-play bundle known as Big Bang gives you 100Mb broadband, 500GB TiVo set-top box, 130+ channels including 10 Sky and all the BT Sport channels and a landline talk plan for £30 a month. An additional £5 a month gives you the aforementioned 250MB mobile phone data plan, while an extra £8 gets you 1GB of data. Both packages are currently available at half price for the first six months of the 18 month contract.
“We wanted our market-beating quad-play bundle to make a big entrance so naturally we thought what better way than having a giant Big Kahuna monster literally bringing it to the shores of the UK,” Virgin Media’s Richard Larcombe commented.
Virgin Media claims a family can save up to £300 a year by using its quad-play Big Kahuna package instead of a comparable broadband, landline and TV offering from Sky and a monthly mobile phone plan.
Families can tailor each package to include what they want such as adding Sky Sports. The package is available to new customers only.
