Cable giant Virgin Media has announced that its new "ultrafast" 100Mbps (10Mbps upload) broadband ISP product can now reach more than 6.5 million homes (25% of the UK), which is up from 4 million at the start of June 2011.

The service costs from just £35 per month (£17.50 with the current 6 months half-price promotion) when combined with a £13.50 Virgin Phone Line service (£45 when bought as a standalone product). It includes unlimited downloads (free of any heavy Traffic Management limits), a Virgin Media Super Hub (wireless modem router and USB adapter), unlimited online storage, Virgin Media Security: Total and more.


The EuroDOCSIS3 (cable technology) based rollout began at the end of last year and is expected to continue until mid-2012, when it will be able to reach half of the country (13 million households). Virgin is then likely to begin planning for a 200Mbps service with 20Mbps upstream speeds.
