Virgin Media investment brings the UK's fastest gigabit home broadband to Reading

摘要

Virgin Media's Gig1 is now available to hundreds of thousands of homes in and around Reading with homes in the Calcot, Caversham, Earley, Tilehurst and Woodley areas of the city, and surrounding villages including Pangbourne, Twyford, Shinfield and Theale set to benefit. Other nearby towns including Newbury, Bracknell, Wokingham, Thatcham, Basingstoke and High Wycombe will also benefit from the broadband boost which is part of the company's plan to bring gigabit speeds to nearly 15 million homes by the end of 2021-the entire Virgin Media network. As broadband data use increases tenfold every 7 years, this service provides the connectivity needed for future applications like 8K streaming, cloud gaming and virtual reality telepresence without the need to excavate roads and streets to install new cables.
