Virgin Media Launches 50Mbit Broadband

Virgin Media is officially launching its 50Mbit/s broadband service today, claiming the fastest internet connection in the UK for those who can receive it.
The fibre-optic service more than doubles the company's existing top speed of 20Mbit/s, and will initially be available to around 12 million homes across the UK.



"Today marks a historic moment for both Virgin Media and the UK," said Neil Berkett, chief executive at Virgin Media. "As the first ISP to roll out next-generation broadband access, our 50Mbit/s service represents the dawning of a new era of high-speedservices in the UK, and is just the beginning of what we hope to offer our customers over the coming years."
