Lucky Virgin Media customers could see a doubling of their 10Mbps broadband
speeds of up to 20Mbps in the next few months. Rumours say that May is the
date which the cableco will start rolling out the service after undergoing
trials in selected areas, but very limited tests of
50Mbps services
are likely to whet the appetite further.
Although this will see an extra price increase customers are not likely to
complain, a user who pay for Virgin Media's XL broadband package will only see
the price rise to £37 per month, so £2 for an extra 10Mbps is a pretty good
deal!
Ernie Cormier, chief commercial officer of Virgin Media was obviously taking
a swipe at non-cable services, who's speeds are at maximum 24Mbps but generally
hover around the 5Mbps mark depending on line quality, said: "Our technology
means we can offer an ultra-fast broadband service that our competitors can't
match.
