Why speed matters?

Speed does matter

The faster your broadband, the more youcan do online. Pretty obvious, really, isn’t it?

With Virgin Broadband, everyday browsing is a pleasure rather than a chore. And when it comes to the really exciting stuff, like streaming HD video or downloading, you can enjoy it without having to stop and wait while your connection catches up. Not only that, with our up to 60Mb and up to 100Mb best broadband, you can have several people sharing the same connection without slowing each other down.

Why speed matters?

Fibre optic is the fastestThe mega speeds of up to 100Mb that you can get with Virgin wireless Broadband are thanks to fibre optic cable. It’s made from strands of glass as thin as hair, which carry information by light. This is much, much faster than the copper telephone wire used by other providers. And, unlike broadband down your phone line, fibre optic broadband doesn't get slower the further away your house is from the telephone exchange.

Ofcom rates Virgin Broadband fastest widely available in the UK (again)

For the fourth year running, industry watchdog Ofcom has proved that Virgin wireless broadband is officially the fastest broadband widely available in the UK. Our up to 30Mb speed, for example, is a whopping four times faster than the UK average.

And we’re honest about our broadband speeds. Our customers get between 93% and 103% of the speeds we promise, while other providers only achieve around 40% of the speeds they promise. Take a look at the table below, based on data from Ofcom.*
