Virgin Media O2’s Post

Vodafone has launched ‘The Great British Telecoms Switch’, a new campaign to help people get a better deal for their broadband. - An estimated 8 million BT customers are overpaying by £1.1 billion* a year for the same full fibre broadband, supplied by Openreach, which is available from Vodafone at a lower price. - People currently with BT, EE and Sky can get the same quality broadband for less by switching to Vodafone – with BT customers making the biggest saving of more than £200**. - Vodafone will offer broadband customers signing up for Full Fibre 900 up to £100 to cover exit fees, making switching easier for those stuck in expensive contracts. - Vodafone Pro II Broadband combines the largest full fibre footprint, of more than 15 million homes, with its market-leading WiFi 6E Ultra Hub and Booster, delivering the UK’s fastest WiFi technology throughout the home. #Vodafone #Vodafonebusines #Broadband #Telecoms

Today we announce Virgin Media O2’s financial results for Q1 2024.   Positively, we improved mobile and consumer fixed service revenue growth, although the tough macroeconomic backdrop has impacted low-margin mobile handset revenue.   Through our sustained investments we continue to evolve our fixed and mobile networks, growing our fibre footprint at pace via the nexfibre network and our Fibre Upgrade programme, while also launching next generation 5G Standalone in 14 UK cities.   We remain on track to hit our full year 2024 guidance, and for the remainder of the year we will maintain focus on our strategy of targeted investment in future growth drivers.

A good detail focused Q&A on Multicast ABR deployment in real services. The question though is how much consumption is going to still be linear as consumers move to on demand. Is it just Sport that will drive this?

📢📱 Virgin Media O2 has announced plans to switch off 3G services by 2025, as part of its ongoing network transformation. This move will allow the company to focus on upgrading its 4G and 5G networks, providing faster, more reliable, and energy-efficient services for customers. The switch-off will be carried out in phases across the UK, with the full transition expected to be completed by the end of 2025. This follows the joint statement by the Government and industry in December 2021 that all UK mobile network operators will switch off 2G and 3G by 2033. 📉 The use of 3G has significantly decreased over the years, carrying less than 4% of all data used on Virgin Media O2’s network last year. 🌍 The switch-off will also contribute to the company’s sustainability goals, as 4G and 5G are significantly more energy-efficient compared to 3G. This move aligns with Virgin Media O2’s wider plans to reach net-zero by 2040. Unsure whether the VMO2 3G switch-off will affect your mobile usage?

With TV consumption and delivery moving online, UK telco BT last year decided to pioneer a hybrid form of distribution that combines multicast with unicast delivery, called Multicast-Assisted Unicast Delivery (MAUD), which was announced in December 2023 (see https://lnkd.in/eYMfwSrD). To meet new traffic trends and demands, MAUD is designed to improve viewer experiences and increase the efficiency in the way content is transported through complex routes. https://lnkd.in/e_JgzwhN

Cable companies like Charter Communications & Comcast have been trying to get their subscribers to their MVNO Services 🛜 However, it looks like they can’t convince all of their internet customers to include wireless in their plans ❌ According to a survey by analysts at TD Cowen people are not switching as they are happy with their current wireless provider ✅ Personally, I would only change over if there was something wrong with my provider/ they were considerably more expensive 🤔 Which begs the question, what can the cable companies actually do to get people to make the switch? #networking #networks #wireless #wirelessnetworks #ipnetwork
