NoScream~SPARTA~ Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Rumour http://www.t3.com/news/virgin-media-might-launch-100mbps-broadband-this-week?=50305 http://www.easier.com/79441-virgin-media-speedy-broadband.html http://www.cable.co.uk/news/virgin-medias-100mbs-broadband-to-launch-this-week-800155638/ It was launched this morning 27th Oct. 2010 Available by Christmas everywhere there is fibre optic cable. http://pressoffice.virginmedia.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=205406&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=1395257 http://www.broadband-finder.co.uk/news/virgin-media/virgin-media-100mb-broadband-is-imminent_19636514.html 100Mbit, thats close on 12 Megabytes / second down 10mbit Up. People who sign up to receive the 100Mb broadband will typically be able to download a music album in five seconds and a high-definition movie in seven minutes and 25 seconds. Virgin Media is already piloting a 200Mb broadband scheme, which would be used to carry out tasks that require high speeds - such as downloading high-definition television programmes on-demand and using home videoconferencing technology. http://www.paranormal-marketing.com/2010/09/03/virgin-medias-50mbs-broadband-reviewed-100mbs-faster-coming-soon/ Virgin Media’s existing VMNG300 router which is currently used for their 50Mb/S XXL broadband service is already compatible with the new 100Mb/S service and it can even cope with the imminent 200Mb/S service since it’s currently being used in their 200Mb/S trials already, but Virgin Media are already working on a brand new router that’s capable of even faster speeds of up to 400Mb/S. This is a virtual proof that incredibly fast 400Mb/S download services are being planned for release after 2012 (I guess by 2014). The more distant future looks even better for Virgin Media as their existing fibre optic cables could eventually support speeds as fast as 1Gb/S Those more froogle.... Virgin do 10Mbit for £5 !!! unlimited d/l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
