The T3 take: A welcome free broadband upgrade
Waking up and finding that the service you’re paying for has just got better for free is a great thing in my book, especially now when the cost of living is rising markedly across the board.
The importance of fast internet is now more important than ever before, too. Gamers, for example, now need to regularly download huge game files that come in at over 100GB, as well as a number of updates, and having slow internet means that takes a very long time.

Equally, all the most popular streaming services such asNetflixandDisney Plusare now offering their new shows and movies in 4K HDR quality, and again that means a lot of downloading or broadband demand to stream without buffering.
And, on top of that, every modern appliance and piece of technology basically needs an internet connection to work best, so having broadband to spare on your internet connection is incredibly desirable.
Partner a fast broadband connection with one of thebest mesh Wi-Fi systems, and your home is going to be fit for purpose in terms of keeping everything and everyone connected. So this free upgrade from Virgin Media is very welcome.
