We are seeing people\u2019s demand for faster broadband accelerate, even after we had completed our programme to double customers\u2019 speeds earlier this year. A quarter of a million more homes are now getting 30Mb or faster from us than three months ago, with over 45% of our new subscribers choosing 60Mb or above.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>With the addition of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> Sport we also saw renewed appetite for our TV service where TiVo, in particular, continues to lead the way as the fastest growing pay TV service in the country. In two years we have attracted 1.8 million subscribers who are paying for what we believe is the best way to watch television. In what is a competitive market, there is clearly emerging recognition of the benefits of faster broadband and advanced television. As part of Liberty Global, we are well positioned to begin to take advantage of these opportunities and meet the growing demand for digital from switched on families<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Elsewhere Virgin Media noted that 3.0 million of their cable customers (69%) now subscribe to superfast broadband (30Mbps+) packages and that over 45% of new subscribers take speeds of 60Mbps or higher.
