It has been revealed in a recent report that Virgin Media has for the second time won the top position in Netflix's UK ISP Speed Index.

After having raked a controversy of sorts with its new traffic management system trial, which blocks upstream speeds on P2P networks and newsgroups during peak hours, UK ISP Virgin Media recently announced a £50 offer to subscribers who sign up for the phone, TV and broadband packages of the company before March 14.

Virgin Media has reported revenue of one billion pound for the fourth quarter that ended in the month of December 31, 2010, which is a hike of 6.6 percent, compared to £941.3 million for the same period in 2009.

Virgin Media ISP has released a petition to put an end to misguiding advertising of broadband connections.
