Why get 50 Meg broadband?

50 Meg broadband is perfect for downloading, sharing and experiencing the very best in online entertainment.

If you love downloading, a 50 Meg broadband connection will deliver the fastest speeds available in the UK - download a 60Mb album in just 11 seconds, and a TV show in under 2 minutes. Virgin Media broadband also comes with an unlimited download allowance, subject to a market standard acceptable use policy.

A 50 Meg connection is also recommended if you share your broadband connection with several users, from families to student houses. All Virgin Media packages come with a free wireless router which delivers broadband throughout your home.

Virgin broadband speeds

An Ofcom report into broadband speeds revealed that Virgin Media customers enjoyed the highest actual download speeds. Virgin Media customers on packages 'Up to 10Mbps' recorded average speeds between 8.1 and 8.7 Mbps/s.

With a 50Mbps broadband package, it's safe to assume actual speeds would be very close to that advertised. Broadband speed on a fibre optic cable connection doesn’t slow down – no matter what the distance from the nearest exchange.

Virgin Media won the Gold award for download performance in the Broadband Choices Customer Satisfaction Survey, April 2009, for download speeds.
