Rated the UK's fastest home broadband by Ofcom
We're still the fastest!
For the fourth year running, industry watchdog Ofcom has proved that Virgin Broadband is officially the fastest broadband widely available in the UK#. Our up to 30Mb speed, for example, is over double the speed of the UK average of 12Mb.
In Ofcom's latest report, the UK average broadband speed has increased from 9Mb to 12Mb, which is largely because we are currently doubling our speeds for over 4 million customers.
