Virgin Media has launched a new ultrafast broadband service, which the company says is the fastest broadband service yet launched in Ireland.

Available in almost 750,000 premises across the country, Virgin Media said its fibre-powered network can now provide customers with broadband speeds of up to 360MB per second, more than three times faster than other broadband services. .

Customers who select Virgin Media’s new 360MB broadband will also receive free calls to landlines and mobiles, in 22 countries, at a cost of €30 per month for the first four months and €60 per month thereafter.

Bill Blake (pictured), Virgin Media’s head of commercial and products, said that the 360MB service is at the core of his firm’s next-generation WiFi and telephony modem, otherwise known as the Virgin Media Hub.

Blake added: “The Virgin Media Hub has been designed with ease-of-use in mind, featuring a simplified LED display and an install wizard that enables our customers to set up and customise their home WiFi service quickly and easily.”
