Virgin Media to Double Internet Speeds

Virgin Media in the UK announced a major program to double the speeds of more than 4 million of its broadband customers and boost its top speed to 120 Mbps. The company will shortly be launching a major advertising campaign to back the initiative.With the mass rollout starting in February, the upgrade program is planned to continue over 18 months and is expected to be complete by mid 2013. Subscribers to Virgin Media's current 10 Mbps, 20 Mbps, 30 Mbps and 50 Mbps services should see their speeds at least doubled, while 100 Mbps customers should see an increase to 120Mbps.
