It seems that the double-speed package is, for the lower 10 Mbps download rate, to turn into treble-speed!

(For the cynics, read the comment:
Details are correct

Virgin doesn't appear to have updated its website yet, but the story is correct. The new packages will launch in April.

Your broadband speed boost

Your broadband is already pretty fast, but we know you'll need more in the future. Over the next 18 months we're going to be doubling your broadband speed, giving you and your family the freedom to stream HD movies and download music, films and games faster and more easily than ever before.

Here's what you're on now and what you'll get after you've been upgraded:

Your current speed is up to 10Mb

Your new speed is up to 20Mb

With over 4 million customers to upgrade, it's not going to happen overnight. Our engineers are already at work around the country upgrading the network, area by area.

Do I need to do anything now?

No, there's nothing to do right now and no need to contact us. We'll let you know as soon as there's any news about your upgrade.

Some people may need a new modem to make the most of the upgraded broadband speeds. If you're one of them we'll be in touch, so keep your eyes peeled for letters and emails from us.
