Virgin Media celebrates ten years of broadband
Tuesday 6th July 2010, by Daniel King
What's the best thing you've ever seen on the internet? There are so many things to choose from such as clips on YouTube, online games and viral adverts that the list could be endless.
However, Virgin Media is asking people to narrow the list down to just ten things in a new project.
The company has announced the creation of a new website designed to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the launch of its first broadband services.
Through its 10 Things Project the firm is encouraging broadband users to pick their favourite ten things from the web.
The website will include a social network where visitors can discuss what they feel have been the best and worst things to have come from the internet over the last decade.
Virgin Media has said the site will allow people to create their own "time capsule" of the funniest and most memorable moments of the last ten years.
Jon James, Virgin's executive director of Broadband said: "We've had some real fun putting together the 10 Things Project. It's only when you look back you realise how important broadband has been over the last ten years and how we'd feel utterly lost without it.
"With speeds increasing and our launch of 100Mb by the end of 2010, we're proud to have been at the forefront of this incredible phenomenon and look forward to exciting new services the next ten years will bring."
Current popular moments of broadband magic include Chris Crocker screaming "leave Britney alone", the Star Wars kids and the Dancing Baby, all YouTube classics in their own right.
