Virgin Media Business Wholesale has boosted its pre-existing fibre capacity in south Wales, more than doubling its capacity across the Severn Bridge. 

This enables additional network routes for businesses depending on reliable and secure data transmission between South Wales and the rest of the UK and adds capacity to support demand from wholesale partners on either side of the estuary.

The upgrade will benefit Vantage’s CWL1 campus which has been a strategic point-of-presence on the Virgin Media network for more than a decade.

Diego Tedesco, Wholesale Fixed Director at VMO2 Business, said: “Last year Virgin Media O2 made a commitment to invest at least £10bn as part of our mission to upgrade the UK.

“Building out our fibre from Vantage’s CWL1 campus is one of the early investments we have made to honour that commitment.”

Justin Jenkins, Chief Operating Officer, EMEA and President, UK Vantage Data Centers said: “We can now provide a range of new solutions to multinational systems integrators, as well as the many small and medium enterprises, FinTech, pharmaceutical, government, retail, and engineering organisations that underpin Wales’s thriving digital economy.”
