Virgin Media 02’s revenue declined 4.2 per cent in Q1 2025 from £2.6 billion to £2.5 billion. Total mobile revenue decreased 1.1 per cent to £1.3 billion, driven by low margin handset revenue, which fell 6.6 per cent, partially offset by service revenue growth, including the benefit of price rise phasing.
