They are achieving this by bonding together four of their standard 50Mbit/s connections which are already available to Virgin fibre customers. And Virgin say they can go further and bond 8 together to create a 400Mbit/s connection if needed, meaning 50MB/s
!!!The initial trial is only going to offer 100 lucky customers and employees the chance to test it, and these will be hand picked, not selected by sign up.
Virgin said that they will take at least 6 months to a year before looking at a potential rollout.
Imagine being able to download 25MB/s. I thought ADSL2+ was fast with 24Mb/s meaning 3MB/s, and even ADSL with 8Mb/s or 1MB/s. But 25MB/s would be amazing. You could download a 1GB file in 41 seconds! Or a whole DVD9 game in under 6 minutes! Mad!
