Virgin Media 02 has rolled out its gigabit broadband services to more than 6,000 homes in Falconwood.
Customers in Falconwood can now sign up to services including Gig2 broadband, which offers speeds of 2Gbps.
Virgin Media’s services are now available to more homes locally after work to bring full fibre connections to the area has been completed. The network has been built on behalf of nexfibre, which is investing £4.5 billion to deliver FTTH connections to 5 million homes across the UK by 2026.
Julie Agnew, managing director of fixed network expansion at Virgin Media O2, said, “6,000 more homes in Falconwood can now feel the benefit of Virgin Media’s services – with packages that include everything from next generation multigigabit broadband to easy-to-use TV streaming and entertainment services.
“These ultrareliable full fibre to the home broadband connections come with speeds – up to 27 times faster than local average – providing total peace of mind that whatever you’re doing online, you’ll never be slowed down by your service.”
Rajiv Datta, CEO at nexfibre, said, “nexfibre’s multi-million pound investment in Falconwood will enable thousands of households to access the benefits of full fibre broadband, including being able to participate in the local economy and connect with the community. It marks a significant step on our journey to connect 5 million premises by 2026.”
