Virgin Media testing 4G spectrum ahead of possible auction bid

Quote:

Virgin Media has revealed it tested a 4G network running over small cell technology in central London in December, suggesting the firm may bid for a portion of the 800MHz or 2.6GHz spectrum in the auctions later this year.

Yes, was that not what they tested on The Gadget Show in December, and on speed test they got 75mb down, very impressive for a start. Lets see what happens when it is available to everyone.
