UK cable operator Virgin Media has announced it will be launching 50 Mbps broadband service in Britain, leveraging the company’s fiber optic network. The move makes Virgin Media the first UK ISP to roll out 50 Mbps capabilities, and the best parrt might be the pricing: the 50 Mbps package will run just £51 per month, or £35 with a landline bundle.
“Today marks a historic moment, for both Virgin Media and the UK,” said Virgin Media CEO Neil Berkett, in a statement. “Our 50Mb service represents the dawning of a new era of high-speed services in the UK and is just the beginning of what we hope to offer our customers over the coming years.”
