Virgin Media Adds 50,000 New Connections, Eases Traffic Management Scheme

Our Comments

In all fairness, over one month, M users can download 70GB before traffic management kicks in while, for L users, this limit increases to 135GB. As for expanding their networks, Virgin Media will almost certainly look for easy wins by, for example, extending existing cable infrastructures. Carphone Warehouse, BT and Virgin Media now owns 75 percent of the market.
