Why Choose M250?
The M250 sits in the sweet spot of Virgin Media's lineup. At 264 Mbps, you get double the speed of M125 for only around £2 more per month - making it exceptional value for households that need more bandwidth.
This package comfortably handles a family of 4-5 all using the internet simultaneously. Stream 4K content in the living room while the kids game online and someone works from home with video calls - all without slowdowns.
For most UK households, M250 provides more than enough speed while still being very affordable. Only upgrade to M350 or higher if you have a large household with heavy usage or specific needs for faster uploads.
