Broadband ISP Virgin Media<\/a> (Liberty Global) has announced that they’ve just successfully completed a new trial, which pushed their new DOCSIS<\/a> 3.1 based network to “hyperfast<\/em>” 2.2Gbps download speeds (and 214Mbps upload speeds) in the Berkshire (England) market town of Thatcham.<\/p>\n

At present the best download speed that Virgin Media<\/a> can squeeze out of their existing EuroDOCSIS 3.0 based Hybrid Fibre Coax<\/strong> (HFC) and Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (FTTP<\/a>) network is about 600Mbps, although since last year they’ve also been busy working on an upgrade to gigabit-capable DOCSIS<\/a> 3.1 technology – expected to cover all 15 million+ of their premises by the end of 2021 (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> D3.1 improves performance by utilising enhancements like Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), which can encode data by using multiple carrier frequencies, and boosting the amount of radio spectrum up to 200MHz.<\/div>\n

Customers of their new D3.1 based broadband package tend to pay from \u00a362 per month for a speed of 1Gbps+ (1,140Mbps download and 50Mbps upload). Sadly, uploads are still using the old D3.0 network and thus have yet to benefit from the enhancements, although we expect this to change further down the road. So far Virgin Media<\/a> have deployed their new D3.1 network to cover a total of 3.7 million homes and rising.<\/p>\n

However, the D3.1 standard is theoretically capable of achieving peak downstream speeds of up to 10Gbps and 2Gbps upload, which means that Virgin Media has scope to push beyond 1Gbps in the future in order to keep pace with rival Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (FTTP<\/a>) networks (NOTE: Ignore the reference to Full Duplex 3.1 below, that has since been rolled into DOCSIS<\/a> 4.0 for the distant future).<\/p>\n

\"docsis<\/p>\n

Suffice to say that Virgin Media’s trial in the town of Thatcham<\/strong> made use of D3.1’s extra capability in order to achieve a download speed of 2.2Gbps, although we actually find it more interesting that they were able to hit an upload speed of 214Mbps; this would seem to indicate that they may now be applying the standard to their upstream channels too (we’re checking).<\/p>\n

The operator also used their latest HUB 4.0<\/strong> (TG3492LG-VMB<\/em> \/ Gigabit Connect Box<\/em>) router for the trial and you can see the specification for that at the bottom of this article<\/a> from last year. The HUB 4.0 is VM’s only router with DOCSIS 3.1 support, although they have made the device available on some slower packages in certain areas so as to help tackle issues of high utilisation (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

One slight bugbear here is that the HUB 4.0 only has 1Gbps capable LAN ports, although you can of course still harness a speed of 2.2Gbps by using multiple WiFi<\/a> and LAN ports, but we’d still hope that any future 2Gbps tier ships with a more capable router.<\/p>\n

Jeanie York, Virgin Media’s CTIO, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We invest more than \u00a31 billion into our network every year and this innovative trial demonstrates how Virgin Media\u2019s existing future-proof cable network can deliver lightning-fast, multi-gigabit broadband speeds. We stand ready to power our customers\u2019 connectivity needs for whatever comes next.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re leading the charge to make the UK faster and we\u2019re on track for rolling out gigabit broadband speeds across our network by the end of next year. With this next-generation connectivity, our customers can experience the best from their broadband \u2013 whether that\u2019s 8K gaming, instant streaming, high quality video calls or uploading files in a flash \u2013 all in the same home at the same time.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As it stands, those with 1Gbps capable lines will already struggle to make use of such speeds and pumping that up to 2Gbps+, as they will no doubt do in the future, won’t make that any easier. On the other hand, as gigabit-capable lines become more common then so too will multi-gigabit broadband packages, which are set to become a necessary part of the future marketing arsenal that ISPs can bring to bear.<\/p>\n

Being able to make such speeds available across a network of over 15 million premises (capacity allowing) will no doubt help to keep even their older HFC network competitive for a long time to come, although at present the operator has provided no indication of when a 2Gbps or faster tier might launch (we suspect they won’t do this until after the D3.1 rollout is complete).<\/p>\n

UPDATE 10:47am<\/strong><\/p>\n

As expected, VM has confirmed to us that this trial did deploy D3.1 on their upstream channels for the first time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
