Tests speeds of 1.5 GB, 240 times faster than the UK average
Virgin Media, UK's leading broadband provider, to begin testing Internet speeds of up to 1.5 GB in East London. With unique cable operator Virgin Media, the studies are called street in London, this month in partnership with four companies in the vicinity of old ' Silicon roundabout ' start.
The 1.5 GB download and 150 MB upload service are the same infrastructure and technology such as Virgin Media currently used for private customers with the country on the fastest home broadband use. If this is successful, this will be the world's fastest cable connection and more than 240 times faster than the national average of broadband1. Tests the ability of the cable have a similar technology, deliver download speeds of 1 GB already proven.
