Which Virgin Media broadband speed should I choose?
Choosing the best broadband speeds for you will depend on how intensive your use is. For larger families, a stronger connection will be more suitable as this will help alleviate the strain of the number of devices trying to connect at once. Similarly, for those who like to stream, play online games, or use their connection to upload or download larger files, a stronger connection may be better suited to ensure you’re not left waiting, lagging, or watching the wheel of buffering doom.
