Top Virgin broadband deals this month
With so many options, finding the right broadband deal can be a faff. That's why our experts have done the hard work for you, analysing every Virgin Media broadband package available in February 2026. And it's not a very difficult task right now as Virgin Media have at long last decided to stop offering bill credits (however tempting they may have been), and just offer rock bottom prices on it's most popular packages. We think that's a huge step forward and so, here's our expert verdict on the top Virgin Media deals right now, chosen to give you the best possible value and performance.
1. Virgin Media M500 Fibre Broadband
£19.99 per month | No upfront cost
Only mid-tier in their range, but still incredibly quick broadband with average downloads of 516Mbps (and a guaranteed to be least 258Mbps), we think this is all the speed most users would ever need.
As it stands right now, we think this is absolutely hands-down the best value broadband package on the market. Pound for megabit it's just unbeatable and probably the best deal fixed line broadband deal we've seen in years.

2. Virgin Media M125 Fibre Broadband

Virgin Media's M125 fibre broadband only is the best all-round broadband deal if you can get it. Consistent average download speeds of 132Mbps is plenty for most households.
Even cheaper than Virgin's amazing M500 deal, the current M125 is the cheapest fixed line broadband package in the UK right now. If you don't need more speed, this is the one to go for.

0330 221 9429How do I claim my bill credit?
Virgin Media's deals don't currently include a bill credit, but they are something Virgin have been offering for many years now. They'll quite possibly reinstate them at some point, and there are certainly many customers out there who are still reaping the benefits of earlier bill credit offers, so here's a quick recap on how they work.
The credit is taken off your Virgin Media bills automatically once your broadband is active. There’s nothing to submit or redeem. So, your first bill is paid and the remainder then rolls onto the following bills until the full bill credit is used. So that means the first few months are free, with the next month being reduced. Since it's part of your bill, you can also use the credit against Virgin’s on-demand entertainment. Spend it all on movies if you want, that's up to you.
- Order Virgin Media broadband online using one of the link on this page
- Wait for activation – the credit appears on your account automatically
- The discount is applied to your first few bills
Bill credits can’t be taken as cash and are limited to one per household. If you cancel before activation, no credit is applied. Seems obvious to say but we know what you money savers are like.

The Virgin Media Hub 5 router
All Virgin Media broadband packages now include a Virgin Media Hub router, with the Hub 5 supplied on faster the packages: M500 and Gig1. The Hub 5 supports Wi‑Fi 6, making it a future-proof option for busy households filled with connected devices. It also features four Gigabit Ethernet ports for wired connections, and improved range and reliability over previous models.
The lower-tier packages – M125 and M250 – still come with the Hub 3, which is dual-band and provides solid performance, but no Wi-Fi 6 (which few people need anyway). If you need full control over your home network or prefer a mesh system, you can also switch any Virgin Media Hub into modem mode and use your own router.
