Virgin Media O2 has launched a residential 2Gbps broadband service, Gig2, and introduced symmetrical download and upload speeds across its speed tiers as an optional add-on.

Initially, this will be available across the nexfibre network, which includes London, Cardiff, Milton Keynes, Sheffield, Manchester and Glasgow.

Gig2 was initially trialled last year and is powered by XGS-PON technology and will operate on a full fibre network.

Jeanie York, CTO at VMO2, said: “Our latest speed venture will unlock opportunities for future technologies and the ever-changing digital needs of our customers.”
