en.Wedoany.com Reported - giffgaff broadband has now extended its services to new customers in Virgin Media's fibre upgrade areas, bringing its full-fibre packages to over 4 million homes across the UK. The mobile and internet provider initially launched its full-fibre broadband packages in September 2025 via the nexfibre national network, covering a total of 2.4 million premises in the UK. ISPreview has learned that, starting from February 2026, the provider also gained access to certain Virgin Media fibre upgrade areas, with wholesale terms reportedly similar to those offered through nexfibre.

It should be noted that giffgaff, nexfibre, Virgin Media, and O2 all share some of the same parent company groups, thus aligning their strategies. Project Mustang refers to Virgin Media's plan to upgrade its legacy hybrid fibre-coaxial network areas to fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) technology supporting 10Gbps. This is a separate effort from nexfibre's construction in new areas (previously not covered by Virgin's existing network). Currently, giffgaff broadband covers over 4 million full-fibre homes, including 2.4 million fibre-upgraded homes, with coverage continuing to expand. It should be clarified that this figure does not yet include approximately 2 million HFC areas that nexfibre plans to upgrade to FTTP as part of its £2 billion acquisition of Netomnia. Virgin Media and nexfibre together cover 8.7 million premises, all of which have been deployed with FTTP lines, leaving significant room for giffgaff's availability to expand in the coming months, with the combined coverage overall continuing to grow.
