Then it hit me. 'My customers already have the UK's fastest broadband, but they'd get a lot more enjoyment out of it if I doubled their speeds.'

So that's what I'm going to do for over 4 million Virgin Broadband customers. Because I can. "

Not everyone realises its just advertising
I know that and so does Virgin Media who love to hang onto his shirt tails because it implies he owns the company but he is only there for the money.
