According to reports, Usain Bolt, the Olympic gold medal-winning sprinter has been approached by Virgin Media to front ads for their super-fast fibre optic broadband service – which could be called ‘Boltband’.

Virgin Broadband

Virgin Media currently offer broadband speeds up to 20Mb with 50Mb fibre optic also being trialled.

A tie up with Jamaica’s Bolt, the world’s fastest man, would be a perfect fit and and build upon the company’s successful ‘Mother Of All Broadband’ campaign.
