Virgin Media are well known to people in the areas where Cable internet services are available. After all, they are the only cable ISP in the country and if you want the fastest internet in the UK right now, it’s Virgin that you need to sign up with. Not to mention the company also offer a range of cable TV services and a phone service to boot, making them a complete alternative to a BT line and standard ADSL connection.
However, Virgin also offer an ADSL package for those people unable to receive cable services, which is currently around half of the country. Previously this service hasn’t offered anything special – it’s had the same 8-16 Mbps cap and BT line rental requirements as most other UK ADSL packages, but all that has changed this month.
Customers in range of the companies LLU network will now be able to achieve potential speeds of up to 20 Mbps, putting the maximum available connection in line with the ‘medium’ package on the Cable side. For the first time ever, the company will also be offering ADSL customers the chance to rent their phone line through Virgin rather BT, something that was previously only offered to their cable customers.
Achieving the best speeds is, as always, unlikely unless you live very close to your local exchange, so few people will find the 20 Mbps ADSL service as fast as the 20 Mbps cable service offered by the same company. However, it’s a good move and one that makes Virgin an attractive option even if you can’t get cable in your area. Currently, customers can get the 20 Mbps connections and line rental for £26 a month which is quite a lot cheaper than BT line rental and an equivalent speed connection from many other ADSL companies.
