Virgin Media UK Hunts for Customers to Trial New Broadband Tech

Cable operator Virgin Media, which delivers ultrafast broadband and TV services to over half of UK premises (mostly urban areas), has put out a fresh call for existing customers in Andover, Baguley, Middlesbrough, Reading, Stockton-on-Tees and Swansea to help trial some of their future internet technologies.

As you’d expect the Liberty Global sibling is being characteristically coy with the details and a survey attached to their invite gives little away, although improvements to broadband speeds, TV and mobile services etc. are all hinted at in various ways.

We know that the operator is preparing their IPv6 rollout plan for 2018 and they’re always considering the next speed boost, as well as the possibility of DOCSIS 3.1 tests, future routers.. and the list goes on. Customers can sign-up over here and will need to fill out a short survey.
