Virgin Media’s Full Fibre M500 sits in the faster end of its broadband range, competing with other 500Mbps class fibre packages from the likes of BT, Sky and Vodafone. It’s aimed at homes that need plenty of capacity for 4K streaming, big game downloads and multiple people working or gaming at once. The “Volt” upgrade mentioned here is Virgin’s bundle perk that can bump you up to Gig1 speeds when you also have an eligible O2 mobile plan, so it’s worth checking what you already have before you commit to the 24 month term.
Who is this for?
If your household regularly hits buffering at peak times, or you’re sharing the connection across lots of devices, M500 is the sort of tier that keeps things feeling responsive. The switching credit can soften the cost of moving, but read the small print on eligibility and how it’s paid.
- Speed tier: around 516Mbps on M500, with a Volt path to Gig1 if you qualify
- Contract length: 24 months, so factor in early exit fees if you might move
