Broadband announced by Virgin Media for Cardiff

It has been reported that a fresh broadband internet service would be deployed in Cardiff later in 2011. To be preciser, thousands of households in the city will be able to access the broadband service of Virgin Media claiming speeds of even up to 100Mbps.

According to the claims of Virgin Media, the main competitor to BT in the field of fibre optic broadband rollout across the country, the proposed connection speeds were capable of allowing the customer download an entire album in just 5 seconds.

Besides, one can also download a television show in 30 seconds and a HD (high definition) movie in as fast as a minute and a half, according to the claims of the leading cable broadband provider of the United Kingdom.

Virgin Media's executive director for broadband, Jon James said that they knew that the Cardiff residents would be simply blown away by what can be delivered by a broadband service of 100Mbps speed, as well as the exact impact that could have on the routine of the consumer.

According to James, the introduction of their premium 100Mbits broadband service in Cardiff was a crucial milestone in the broadband evolution of the United Kingdom, and a clear illustration of their next generation network's power.
