Virgin Media has emerged as the top choice for homes seeking superior broadband speeds, reliability, and consistent quality, according to the latest analysis by Opensignal. The UK-based Internet Service Provider (ISP) dominated in all performance categories, including Download Speed, Upload Speed, Video Experience, and Consistent Quality.
Andrey Popov, Principal Analyst, highlighted that amid the UK’s transition to full-fibre networks, Virgin Media stands out for its overall broadband experience. Virgin excels in Download Speed, achieving 187.8Mbps, and Reliability Experience with 747 points, surpassing competitors operating primarily on the Openreach wholesale platform.
Vodafone secured the second position overall, garnering high scores across the board. The ISP’s dual-network strategy, operating on both Openreach and CityFibre networks, sets it apart from others in the industry, contributing to its strong performance.
Other notable ISPs include BT, placing third in Consistent Quality and Download Speed, and Sky, recognized for its Video Experience, securing the second spot in this category.
In contrast, Three ranked at the bottom of the list, scoring lowest in Consistent Quality, Upload Speed, Video Experience, and Reliability Experience. TalkTalk also faced challenges with download speeds, averaging 55.1Mbps compared to Virgin’s over 180Mbps.
