25 February 2009 - Virgin Media leaving 2Mbps broadband behind
Virgin Media have announced the intended withdrawl of their entry level 2Mbps product to be replaced by their 10Mbps offering.
Existing 2Mbps customers are due to be upgraded from their M to the L service starting in May 2009.
"Our entry-level broadband product is now twice the speed of comparable services and, with our new 10-20-50 range, we clearly offer the highest quality broadband service in the UK. The migration of millions of 2Mb customers to 10Mb is only possible because of the power of our next generation network and is just one example of how we are creating exciting propositions for consumers which provide transformational experiences and go way beyond their expectations. Coupled with our recently launched 50Mb service, we are proactively developing the UK's broadband market, driving consumer expectations and the demand for high speed broadband services."
- Neil Berkett, chief executive of Virgin Media
