Virgin trials 200Mbps home broadband access
100 households in Ashford get ultrafast downloads
Virgin Media has revealed that following successful labs trials, it is publicly testing 200Mbps broadband access.
The ISP, which late last year launched a 50Mbps consumer broadband service, is trialing the pilot scheme with 100 households in Ashford, Kent.
Virgin said that the trial, which will run for a minimum of six months, will allow internet connections to be used for the delivery of 3D and HD content, video conferencing and even home surveillance.
"We're really excited to be embarking on this journey of discovery. The 200Mbps pilot will give us further insight into how true 'wideband' services might be used by consumers," said Neil Berkett, chief executive officer at Virgin Media.

200 what about 10??
Virgin Media - moving ahead but not finishing the job first. I don't think I'm alone in having problems getting the bandwidth promised. How about they get what they sell now working before doing the next thing. I've had an average less than 2Mbps since starting to pay for 10Mbps three months ago! Infrastructural issues are the cause according to their technical support team. With no fixed dates promised for correction.
BT sent me a cocky letter when I switch from them to virgin media, saying I'd regret it. Guess what, they were right.
