Virgin Media: 50Mbps now available to all cable customers

Virgin Media has just announced that it has completed the rollout of 50Mbps services across its entire network. Now more that 12 million UK homes will have access to next-gen speeds of up to 50Mbps and unlimited downloads.

To mark completion of the rollout, Virgin Media will reduce the monthly cost of its 50Mbps service for both new and existing customers. From the 1st of September, XXL broadband from Virgin Media will cost just £28 a month, when taken with a phone line, or £38 if taken on its own. Currently the service costs £35 a month with a phone line and £50 without.

If that wasn’t enough Virgin Media is also looking start a new pilot to trial a range of upload speeds of up to 10Mbps – that’s significantly faster upload speed than the top download speeds available on standard ADSL connections.

Last week it was announced that BT had begun trials of its next-gen cable platform in earnest, the first stage of which will provide top download speeds of 40Mbps. Virgin Media is currently trialling its future 150-200Mbps service in Ashford, Kent.
