Cable
Broadband
With
the use of Fibre Optics, Cable broadband can deliver the fastest
broadband in the UK.
Cable
broadband is a popular choice for receiving broadband in the UK.
The main supplier of cable broadband in the UK is Virgin Media and
they are able to supply digital TV, telephone & broadband Internet
all through 1 cable (triple
play) meaning also that all the bills can be done together instead
of having to pay separately for each different one.
One
of the biggest problems with cable is it's availability. Although
cable coverage across the UK has increased hugely over the years
there are still areas where cable is still not available so you
will need to check cable availability if you want to get it installed.
Currently
the largest cable broadband provider is Virgin
Media broadband and have coverage of 50% of UK homes and
85% of UK businesses that they are able to supply cable to. Currently
the fastest cable broadband that Virgin Media can offer is 50Mb
broadband.
Cable
broadband uses fibre optic cable which offers much faster broadband
speeds than are available from ADSL broadband. Fibre broadband
is becoming increasingly more popular and it is expected that the
UK will choose fibre
broadband for the next generation of broadband.
