It’s been a while since the launch of Virgin Media - just over 3 years in fact.
You’d be surprised to learn then that it’s taken this long for the business arm of NTL:Telewest to be rebranded as Virgin Media Business.
Richard Branson presided over the re-brand aiming to “shake up the UK business telecoms market” and build on the success of Virgin Media in the domestic market by consolidating the brand under “one common offering”.
The company is said to be ploughing money into its networks, provisioning functions and ad campaigns based around the rebrand.
However the option of paying for access to BT’s high speed tunnels has not yet been dismissed by the company.

Be Broadband, the UK’s leading provider of ADSL2+ broadband owned by O2, has hinted that it may unroll its own fibre-optic network to rival those of Virgin Media and BT. This news comes a day after it was announced that BT may be opening up its fibre network in the same manner as it currently does with its copper lines.
According to a post over at ISP Review, Be has responded enthusiastically to the news:
“The news that BT are preparing to open up so that other broadband providers can run their own high-speed broadband networks through their infrastructure will help us and other businesses better assess the case for fibre deployment. Although we will wait until BT confirms this move before revealing any of our own plans, one thing for certain is that the UK lags behind most of Europe now in terms of rolling out fibre broadband, which can’t persist for longer.”

BT has allegedly been talking to telecoms regulator Ofcom about opening their cable ducts to rival competitors.
According to a piece in the Financial Times allowing rivals to use the company’s infrastructure to run their own high speed broadband networks.
This has come to light recently as the Conservatives suggested that if they won the election they would ‘legislate to force BT to open its ducts’.

Broadband Britain has become almost as big a political battleground as Broken Britain as the race for the upcoming election gathers steam. The Conservatives have unveiled plans to deliver “super-fast broadband” to the majority of UK homes by 2017, part of which could be funded by the BBC licence fee.
In yesterday’s Guardian, Shadow chancellor George Osborne said that an incoming Tory government would deliver speeds of up to 100Mbps and that the UK could be the first European country to have super-fast broadband speeds.
Private investment would be allowed to pay for better cabling for the broadband expansion and as a backup, the BBC - whose iPlayer has driven demand for faster broadband - has put aside 3.5% of the licence fee to fund the project.

With BT Infinity just around the corner, Virgin Media is eyeing up the new kid encroaching on it’s cable turf and claims that the UK’s leading broadband provider is still playing catch-up.
“We’re not sure why people in the UK would want to wait for BT’s 40Mb service which hasn’t launched yet, when they can already get Virgin Media’s great value 50Mb service,” a Virgin Media spokesperson said in a statement today.
“Last summer we completed the roll-out of our next generation service to 12.5 million homes and people throughout the country are already enjoying all the fantastic things you can do online with the UK’s fastest broadband service. We’ve been saying for years that fibre optic broadband is the future.”
Infinity is a real step forwards for BT, who has until now, solely relied on the old phone lines to deliver fixed-line broadband. However Virgin Media has been in the cable game for longer and, it has to be said, has a bit of an edge on the newcomer.
