Hi Jona,
In terms of "bandwidth"; Virgin Media runs its own MPLS/IP network run over a mostly VM owned fibre network that spans the UK & Ireland. The group which I work in supply physical layer connectivity to our own data group and also other operators.

In terms of accessing the internet, as has been previously stated in depth, we peer with other operators at sites such as LINX (London Internet Exchange) to exchange layer 2 packets.

If you have any questions, just let me know.

cheers
