" Twelve villages in Hampshire are set to gain access to ultra-fast broadband after signing up to a Virgin Media deal. The company is set to bring a 350 Mbps connection to more than 4,000 residents whose broadband speeds are among the lowest 10% in the UK. Independent telecoms analyst Ian Grant said Virgin had capitalised on an missed opportunity by BT, which he said had rolled out hardly any rural broadband connections. “BT has been very slow and not really committed to delivering high-speed broadband,” Grant said.
