HOT ON THE HEELS of BT's announcement about the first 29 exchanges to get fibre optic broadband, Virgin Media has rained on the UK telco's parade by announcing that it will not only beat BT to the finishing line, but it will also offer a considerably faster service.
BT has said that its 40 to 60Mb service will roll out to major cities in 2010 and be completed by 2012, but Virgin boss Neil Burkett has told BBC News that his company will be offering 100 to 150Mb lines up to two years earlier than the UK's formerly-nationalised telecoms giant.
"We have an opportunity with our network to provide significantly higher speeds," he said, adding that Virgin's fibre-to-cabinet (FTC) service was actually capable of up to 200 Mbs per second. µ
