The fastest Virgin between London and Manchester

Virgin Media, together with Nortel and Juniper Networks, has successfully conducted a North-South 40G trial over a live commercial network covering 217 miles of the current 10G network infrastructure. As far as I am aware this is the first time such a trial has been attempted in the UK, certainly the first to be successful or I am pretty damn sure the PR companies would have been shouting about it given the competition in the domestic broadband market right now.
