Virgin Media preps for 50MBPS roll out in UK

The rials are over and the roll out is set to begin. large numbers of UK residents will soon have what all but a few US residents dream about. of course, there is a more competitive environment in the UK and politicans are much more limited by law in accepting largess from the lobby.

The network is said to be capable of reaching 50 Mbps which is astonishing when compared to some regions that can only receive a broadband connection speed of 1.5 Mbps!

This announcement from Virgin Media follows a trial which involved testing their connection speed over a long distance. (Techwatch)
