UK cable-based internet services. Virgin will introduce a new 20Mbit cable
internet offering, up from the previous 10Mbit product, in June. The company has
already undertaken successful user beta trials of the 20Mbit service.The company
has also announced plans to increase the product range to include a incredibly
