Subject to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a>&#8217;s approval, the company will also have 80MHz of contiguous 5G spectrum bandwidth for providing better download speeds to customers.<\/p>\n<p>All of this will no doubt help to benefit their merger agreement with cable broadband ISP <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vm\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Virgin Media<\/a>.
