Virgin Media’s top speed broadband of 100 Mbps is now available to over four million UK homes.
The cableco said it was on track to complete the network of 13 million homes by mid-2012.
“As data consumption rises and consumers grow increasingly reliant on their broadband service, only Virgin Media’s unique network is primed to cater for the UK’s impending data explosion,” said Jon James, executive director of broadband at Virgin Media. “With four million homes now able to ‘get in the fast lane’ with our 100 Mbps service, the UK is racing up the broadband league tables and we’re delighted to be playing the leading role in boosting the UK’s digital infrastructure.”
New 100 Mbps broadband subscribers receive a wireless ‘N’ router, ultimately capable of delivering speeds of 400 Mbps.
Virgin Media is also currently trialling 200 Mbps services and has deployed a cutting-edge 1.5 Gbps cable broadband trial in East London.
