Judging by the current plans, work in East Grinstead is in the early process of getting started and if all goes to plan then they expect to cover 3,000 of its premises during 2020.<\/p>\n<p>As usual this effort forms part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vm\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Virgin Media<\/a>&#8217;s \u00a33bn <strong>Project Lightning<\/strong> build, which originally aimed to add an additional 4 million premises to their UK coverage (so far they&#8217;ve completed c.2.1 million) using a mix of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> via Radio Frequency Over Glass (RFoG) and Hybrid Fibre Coax (HFC) technology. Both methods make use of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/docsis\">DOCSIS<\/a> standard so as to harness the same consumer hardware.<\/p>\n<p>Locals in the town will eventually also be able to benefit from download speeds of up to 1Gbps once the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/docsis\">DOCSIS<\/a> 3.1 network upgrade arrives, which is due to complete by 2021 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2019\/07\/virgin-media-uk-confirms-1gbps-broadband-speeds-for-all-by-2021.html\">here<\/a>). East Grinstead is the last of the big towns in the mid Sussex region to be reached by Virgin Media.<\/p>\n<p>Separately the operator recently announced that 1,400 premises in Saughall (Chester, Cheshire) can now also access their network following an extension.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The large West Sussex town of East Grinstead, which is home to around 27,000 people, looks set to be the next to benefit from Virgin Media&#8217;s new gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband network, which will start in the south of the town but then rapidly expand across the outer area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21195,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[469,475],"class_list":["post-21194","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-sussex","tag-virgin-media"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
