Virgin Media boosts top broadband speeds to 360Mbps

 

07 January 2016: Virgin Media launches new ultrafast broadband with Virgin 360Mbps.

 

Now available in almost three-quarters of a million homes across Ireland, Virgin Media’s fibre powered network means that new and existing customers can enjoy supersonic broadband speeds of 360Mbps.

 

Customers who select Virgin Media’s new 360Mbps broadband will also receive free calls to landlines and mobiles, in 22 countries, all for just €30 per month for the first 4 months.

 

Bill Blake, Virgin Media’s Head of Commercial and Products said:

 

“360 Mbps broadband is at the core of our next-generation WiFi and telephony modem, otherwise known as the Virgin Media Hub. What’s more, customers can be assured of an impeccable in-home WiFi internet experience. The Virgin Media Hub has been designed with ease-of-use in mind, featuring a simplified LED display and an install wizard that enables our customers to set up and customise their home WiFi service quickly and easily.

 

“We promised you magic and that’s what we’re delivering with our new sky-ripping 360Mb. Now you can enjoy buffer-free entertainment as you surf, stream and chat like never before.”

 

There is also the option to add TV to the broadband bundle giving customers access to a host of great services like Replay and Startover TV, Horizon Go and My Prime, to name just a few. Customers can also add mobile too with unlimited data, calls and texts, free for 4 months.

 

In addition, customers will also benefit from Virgin Media’s recently launched Parental Controls, a new way to help parents protect their children from age inappropriate material on the web.

 

Over the past three years, data usage of the Virgin Media network has grown by 300% and by over 1200% over the past six years. Subsequently, Virgin Media is investing heavily in its ultrafast network to meet this growing consumer demand for broadband and Internet, connecting even more devices and accessing more streaming services.
