More than half of premises connected to Virgin Media O2’s fixed broadband network can now receive gigabit speeds as the company continues with plans to cover its entire footprint by the end of the year.
An additional 1.5 million properties in several towns and cities – including Bournemouth, Bristol, Northampton, Sunderland, Wolverhampton, Wigan and York – have been upgraded and now have access to average download speeds of 1.1Gbps.
The company says the speeds will help customers who have become more reliant on their connection for work, education, and everyday life, and will support bandwidth-intensive services like video streaming, online gaming and videoconferencing.
