Claiming that it is now able to make in-home wireless connectivity speeds up to three times faster, Virgin Media has launched what it says is a “game-changing” Wi-Fi service that will give customers broadband access in more areas of their homes.
The new Intelligent WiFi Plus from Virgin Media combines a suite of new, automatically deployed features on its Hub 3 and Hub 4 routers, with brand new Intelligent WiFi Pods that help to extend Wi-Fi reach and speeds throughout the home. The Pods, powered by technology firm Plume, create a unique Wi-Fi ecosystem bespoke to each household.

This assured Virgin will ensure the best in-home coverage with connected devices seamlessly making use of the strongest possible signal, all of the time, regardless of where in the home they are being used.
