Virgin Media Build Ultrafast Broadband Network to 16000 Durham Premises

Wednesday, Nov 29th, 2017 (10:38 am) - Score 1,746

Cable operator Virgin Media UK has announced that an extra 16,000 homes and businesses in the County of Durham (North East England) will be the next to gain access to their 350Mbps capable broadband and TV network, with the local deployment work being set to complete by the end of 2019.

As usual this announcement forms part of the operator’s £3bn Project Lighting network expansion, which aims to reach an additional 4 million premises (2 million of those will be via FTTP) across the United Kingdom by the end of 2019. Overall that should extend their UK coverage to around 60-65% (total of 17 million premises), assuming that they can catch-up after recent concerns over their roll-out progress.

Hugh Woolford, Regional Director at Virgin Media, said:

“By expanding our network to thousands more homes and businesses we are making Durham a digital hotspot, and time-strapped families will soon be benefitting from the reliability of a service that’s 20 times faster than the local average.”

The operator has also released a new video of their engineers at work.
