Virgin Media shows off its 200Mbps
The speedy ISP will be demonstrating its superfast broadband at this year’s Ideal Home Show.


Virgin Media will publically demonstrate its 200Mbps broadband this weekend.
It has been trialling what it refers to as "supercharged broadband" in Kent since May last year and has recently confirmed it will be expanding this pilot to include Coventry.
Tomorrow, the company will show off the technology at this year's Ideal Home Show, held at Earl's Court in London.
"The sort of things you can expect will include speed tests to show you are getting the speeds of up to 200Mbps as well as downloading HD films to show how quickly it goes," a Virgin Media spokesperson told IT PRO.
Virgin Media confirmed in February that it was almost ready to rollout 100Mbps broadband to its 12.6 million connected homes across the UK.
