Cisco recommends a 3925 for up to 100 Mbps, so that would be a fine fit.

BTW, the new 4xxx series, I understand offers even more performance for the price, so you might want to compare an entry model of the series, price wise, to the 3925.  The 4321 can be had to support 50 or 100 Mbps, and the 4331 100 or 300 Mbps.

Here is an ISR buying guide.

For 100Mbps throughput the 4321 or the 3925 is where you want to be.  Ask your vendor for pricing for both to see what makes sense for your budget. 

Remember that a 1GE interface on a router doesn't mean it'll give you 1gig throughput, only that it'll negotiate an interface speed of 1000Mbs. You can set up a lab test to push data through a router to see that it'll never get close to 1gig.   I've had to upgrade many 3900 series routers as they become the bottleneck after we upgrade the WAN connections to 300 or 500Mbps.

Good luck.

we are already using Cisco 881 and Cisco 891 for multiple customers.

I would recommend Cisco-891F .
