Virgin M125 Deals (April 2025)

As of April 2025, Virgin Media M125 broadband is available at a promotional price of £25.99 per month for new customers, under an 18-month contract. There’s no setup fee, and the offer includes a generous £90 bill credit if you sign up before 1st May.

Here’s a quick comparison of current M125 options:

From April 2025, Virgin applies an annual price rise, calculated as RPI + 3.9%. That means prices will increase slightly each year, though you’ll be notified in advance.

Virgin M125 Speed & Performance

The average download speed on this package is 132Mbps, which is nearly double the UK national average (around 69Mbps). Upload speeds reach 20Mbps, which is adequate for video calls, file uploads, and online gaming.

Speed Type	Performance
Average Download	132 Mbps
Average Upload	20 Mbps
Estimated Range	132–136 Mbps (down)
Estimated Range	20–21 Mbps (up)
Minimum Guaranteed	66 Mbps (download)

You can stream multiple 4K videos, run Zoom or Teams calls, and even download large files quickly. Virgin M125 handles gaming well too—with latency and speeds sufficient for casual and even competitive play.

And importantly, if your speeds fall below the guaranteed 66Mbps, Virgin must fix it or let you leave the contract early—a protection that adds peace of mind.

Is M125 Fibre Broadband Good for Your Home?

If your home has 2–4 users who stream, browse, attend video calls, and occasionally game online, Virgin M125 fibre broadband is more than enough. It balances speed and price well, making it suitable for:

For households with 5+ users or frequent simultaneous heavy usage, upgrading to M250 or M350 may be a smarter move.

Routers: Hub 3 vs Hub 4

The Virgin Media M125 package includes the Hub 3 router by default—a dual-band Wi-Fi 5 device that supports most households. It delivers decent speeds and can handle multiple devices across a standard-sized UK home.

If you need stronger Wi-Fi in larger or double-storey homes, you can request the Hub 4. It’s still based on Wi-Fi 5 but offers better coverage and extra bandwidth for multiple devices. Neither router includes Wi-Fi 6, so tech-heavy users may want to invest in their own mesh system or consider Virgin’s WiFi Max booster pods.

Both routers include Intelligent WiFi, which auto-adjusts settings to give you the best possible signal based on your device usage and room location.

TV, Phone, and Volt: Bundles & Extras

Virgin Media offers several ways to build a package that fits your needs:

Here’s how the package options break down:

Should You Upgrade to M250 or M350?

Virgin M125 is great for smaller households, but if you have a tech-heavy home or more users, here’s how the upgrades compare:

Plan	Download Speed	Upload Speed	Use Case
M125	132 Mbps	20 Mbps	Small homes, streaming, casual gaming
M250	264 Mbps	25 Mbps	Larger homes, 4K streaming, faster downloads
M350	362 Mbps	36 Mbps	Gamers, remote workers, high usage homes

M250 only costs around £4–£5 more/month in most cases, so if you have the budget, it may be a worthwhile step up.
