Virgin Media is continuing to roll out its gigabit broadband across Exmouth, and now more than 12,000 more homes can sign up to services using speeds of 2Gbps – 16 times faster than the local average.

Virgin Media has connected 8,000 more homes and businesses in Northallerton to its broadband services, giving residents speeds of 2Gbps after work to bring full fibre to the area has been completed.

Pulse Fibre has joined in partnership with Entity Connect to deliver full fibre connectivity at the Farriers Green development in Rainham, Kent and providing residents and the developer with faster broadband technology.

A new study from the FTTH Council Europe reveals that Portugal, Spain and Sweden are already phasing out legacy copper networks in Europe, with the UK and other countries lagging behind and relying heavily on old copper infrastructure.
