Summary
Virgin Media (UK)
isp cable eyeball
Virgin Media (NTL) — the UK's largest cable-broadband operator, now part of
Virgin Media O2.
What it's used for
- Cable (and increasingly fibre) home broadband across the UK, plus business services.
Notable
- An "eyeball" network of UK residential subscribers. The
NTLhandle reflects its origin as the cable operator NTL, later rebranded Virgin Media. - Runs its own cable access plant rather than reselling BT Openreach lines.
Interesting
- Virgin Media's cable network long offered some of the fastest widely available UK home broadband because it didn't depend on legacy phone-line DSL.
