Virgin Media upgrades to 30MB Broadband

Lightning fast internet will now literally mean lighting fast as Virgin Media introduces its new broadband service effective from the 1st of Feb which will provide consumers with 30Mbps speed which is 50% faster than the previous 20Mb speed provided by Virgin.

And Virgin promises that the consumer right from the first house close to the exchange till the millionth house from the exchange will all get the same broadband speed as promised. This is possible as Virgin does not make use of the VDSL technology as its competitors like BT infinity. Thus all consumers will get the same speed of 30Mb if they opt for that plan. This speed will be much faster as compared to the average speeds of BT infinity.

This new plan named XL from Virgin will be available to the consumers at a monthly cost of £18.50. The executive director for Virgin Media, Mr. Jon James looked very excited for the launch of this new speed and says they will effectively be able to meet the growing needs of the customers as the customers are now demanding more and more in terms of speeds and usage.

He also added that customers are in need of such high speed internet is also due to the numerous gadgets added to their homes. You will rarely find a home now with a single laptop or computer. Every house has a minimum of two gadgets, which will either be two laptops or a laptop and a handheld device or similar gizmos which Mr. Jon said consumers will be able to use without any speed drops.

Mr. Jon James also informed that the customers who are already with Virgin’s high speed 20Mb broadband can opt for the 30Mb upgrade at just an upgrade cost of £30 which will be a one off fee. With the extra £30, the customer will get the 30Mb upgrade and Virgins SuperHub DOCSUS 3.0 router and modem.
