According to Virgin Media, Gig1 offers customers speeds of 1140Mbps – which they claim is 20 times faster than Falkirk’s average broadband connection.Jeff Dodds, Virgin Media chief operating officer, said: “Through continued investment, we’re making Scotland even faster by offering our next-generation Gig1 broadband to homes across Falkirk just weeks after switching on these speeds in Edinburgh.

“Whether people are working from home, learning online, video calling friends and family or binging on a box set in 4K, with hyperfast speeds which are more than 20 times faster than Falkirk’s average broadband connection, Gig1 means they can do everything they want online, at the same time, without delay.“Whatever the future holds, we’re connecting our customers to what’s next.”
