Cable ISP Virgin Media<\/a> UK has today announced that they’ve completed the rollout of their 500Mbps+ capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) based DOCSIS<\/a> \/ RFoG broadband and phone network to cover 4,000 extra homes in the Gorton area of Manchester.<\/p>\n

As it stands today Virgin has built a network that covers 714,000 premises across the metropolitan region and 94,000 of those have been added since 2015 as part of their national Project Lightning network expansion, which aims to add an additional 3-4 million premises to their UK coverage (so far they’ve completed over 1.7 million).<\/p>\n

Other than Gorton, Virgin has also been busy working around the Hurst, Hyde, Littleborough, Bury, Cowlishaw and Didsbury areas of Manchester.<\/p>\n

Angeliki Stogia, City Councillor for Digital Infrastructure, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“It cannot be underestimated how important connectivity is today as we rely more and more on digital technology in our everyday life, education and work. So it\u2019s fantastic to see the role out of ultra-fast broadband across the Gorton community, which will have an undeniable benefit for residents and businesses alike.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
