Two weeks since we last covered what looked like being a slow day for Virgin Media customers and we are seeing the same problem.

After several tabloid grabbing above inflation price rises from the major broadband providers Zen Internet is doing the opposite and lowering some of its package prices.

Our maps have been updated to include 10,000 premises of FTTP available via Zen Internet over the CityFibre network in Newcastle upon Tyne.

Newcastle joins Worthing as areas where Zen Internet is selling FTTP over the CityFibre network.
