Virgin Media Ireland brings in business Wi-Fi

June 13, 2017 10.10 Europe/London By Julian Clover

Virgin Media Ireland’s business division has unveiled a new Wi-Fi service for its business customers.

Virgin WiFi is designed to offer businesses across the country with a Wi-Fi network for both customers and employees.

Paul Farrell, Vice President of Commercial at Virgin Media Business, said: “Virgin Media’s network currently carries over 50% of all public Wi-Fi traffic – that’s around 2.5 million user sessions per month. Such trends are causing the demand for WiFi to grow exponentially and Virgin WiFi has been designed to enable businesses meet the needs of their customers, guests and employees.”

The new service was unveiled at the Irish Maritime Festival in Drogheda, sponsored by Virgin Media, and where the operator is providing free Wi-Fi to attendees.

Virgin Media was this year named as Ireland’s fastest broadband network by consumers through the independent network assessment firm Ookla, while Cartesian also named Virgin Media as having the best performing Wi-Fi in Ireland.
