Telegraph Poles will be used by Virgin Media Fibre Broadband
Virgin Media, the broadband provider that is currently contemplating on rolling out a 100Mbps broadband service in the United Kingdom is undoubtedly souring to newer heights.
The latest news says that the broadband bundle provider has surged from the depths of its fibre optic cable runnic sewers to the altitudes of telegraph poles. No another question it says all, Virgin Media will use the telegraph poles for rolling out at least a part of the rest of their fibre broadband network.
This is deemed by many broadband experts in the UK as a clever move to reach their fibre broadband service to the customers. As a matter of fact, the broadband provider is trialling its 50Mbps broadband service using telegraph poles in a Berkshire village.
If this trial that would span around six months, in Woolhampton proves to be success, the consumers would enjoy broadband download speeds five times faster than the speed offered by their current BT copper line connection that is approximately 4.1Mbps.
According to the calculations of Virgin Media, a million households in the United Kingdom could benefit from the telegraph pole broadband system.
Virgin Media’s chief executive Neil Berkett stated that the unique broadband trial would help them understand the scopes of aerial fibre optic broadband deployment and may just deliver a remarkable new way to rollout next generation broadband.
