Virgin Media has confirmed plans to take its top broadband speed to 350 Mbps, beginning in the spring.
The Liberty Global operator has increased 15 fold since 2007. The top speed is currently 300 Mbps.
“We know that demand for ultrafast services is here. Today, 70% of our customers take speeds of 100Mbps or more from us. And more than half of our customers are using our best-in-class WiFi router, the Hub 3.0, to unlock ultrafast Wi-Fi speeds throughout their homes,” said Virgin Media’s executive director for connectivity, Anthony Vollmer.
Following the extension of its broadband footprint as part of Project Lightening, almost 15 million premises are now able to access our gigabit-capable network in the UK & Ireland.
“We’ve always said competition works and that if you want to get a better service from BT then move into a street served by Virgin Media. In fact, last December, Ofcom’s CEO said BT Openreach’s investment in FTTP was likely to be in response to the aggressive rollout by Virgin Media and alternative operators,” added Vollmer.
As of December 31, 2017, Virgin Media had 5,104,300 broadband subscribers.
