Liberty Global-owned Virgin Media is pushing the pedal down on its fiber-to-the-premise (FTTP) network expansion by targeting at least 1 million additional homes and businesses.
Virgin Media's "Project Lighting" expansion plan will connect a total of 17 million premises to its network by 2019, which it claims is the single largest broadband infrastructure investment in the UK in more than a decade. Virgin Media competes on the broadband front with BT Group plc (NYSE: BT; London: BTA).
