Ziggo increases Internet speed to max. 150Mbps
More than 800,000 clients to get faster Internet speeds
Ziggo is increasing the Internet speed in 5 out of its 6 subscription options,
giving more than 800,000 of its clients faster Internet speeds. There will be
no extra charge to clients. These increases will be implemented gradually, with
the first new speeds available on 1 July. The highest download speed of 150
Mbit/s will be available to all clients with an All-in-1 Extra package or a Z3
subscription.
On 1 July, Ziggo will start to reset clients' modems remotely, after which
subscribers will automatically get the new speeds. Clients will be sent a
message when the speed increase has been implemented at their address.
