glass fibre from Virgin
BBC NEWS | Technology | Virgin becomes online gatekeeper: "In the battle to dictate the shape of future online use Virgin Media has, almost quietly, manoeuvred itself into a position of dominance.It is in the enviable position of having the UK's largest fibre optic network, albeit covering only 50% of the country, offering up to 50Mbps download speeds, as well as having access to high-quality content via set-top boxes in millions of homes.
The firm is also helping bridge the worlds of TV and web with applications such as the iPlayer on its set-top boxes.
'We are giving 50% of the UK an experience of what real next-generation access looks like,' says Neil Berkett, chief executive of Virgin Media."
