=== Internet === Telewest's [[Cable Internet|internet]] service called Blueyonder, formerly branded as Cable Internet, used the cable infrastructure and offered speeds of 2 [[Mbit/s]], 4 Mbit/s and 10 Mbit/s downstream{{cn|date=April 2021}}. The broadband service was 'uncapped', meaning that its use was unlimited and no extra charges were payable related to the amount of data downloaded. The offering included free webspace where customers could create their own websites, which was discontinued for new customers after the rebranding to Virgin Media.<ref>{{Cite web |title=About Webspace |url=https://my.virginmedia.com/customer-news/articles/about-webspace.html |access-date=2024-08-01 |website=my.virginmedia.com}}</ref> In November 2006, after the merger with NTL, ''[[The Register]]'' reported that [[Bandwidth throttling|subscriber traffic management]] was being trialled in areas of northern England, and would be rolled out nationwide.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.theregister.com/2006/11/21/blueyonder_gets_throttled/ | title=NTL/Telewest admits limiting unlimited web access | work=The Register | date=21 November 2006 | access-date=8 June 2022 | archive-date=9 June 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220609020803/https://www.theregister.com/2006/11/21/blueyonder_gets_throttled/ | url-status=live }}</ref> [[Virgin Media|Blueyonder]] also provided dial-up internet services on a pay-as-you-go tariff, or a fixed monthly fee of Β£14.99 for unlimited use.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Jackson |first=Mark |title=Telewests Dialup To Broadband Offer |url=https://www.ispreview.co.uk/news/EpAApFlVFuQgrYPlYJ.html |access-date=2025-03-24 |website=ISPreview UK |language=en}}</ref>
