Virgin Media O2 customers receive another free upgrade – and mobile users will love it | The Sun
VIRGIN Media and O2 mobile customers may notice something different when travelling around the capital.
The firm is finally bringing its 5G service to London Underground.
But it'll only be available on parts of the Tube for now.
The Central Line between Queensway station and Holland Park station will be the first to benefit from Virgin Media O2's 4G and 5G.
So you'll no longer have to worry about catching emails or keeping in touch with friends.
Notting Hill station has been upgraded to become a "full 5G station" so you can use top speed mobile data on the platform and in ticket halls.
