Cable broadband ISP Virgin Media<\/a> will today switch-on their new DOCSIS<\/a> 3.1 network upgrade for “hundreds of thousands of homes<\/em>” in Cardiff and across South Wales, which means that well over 7 million UK homes can now access their top Gig1 service (1104Mbps download and 52Mbps upload).<\/p>\n

At present Virgin Media<\/a>’s customers can already access top ultrafast speeds of 516Mbps (636Mbps on Ultimate Oomph) via the operator’s existing EuroDOCSIS 3.0 based Hybrid Fibre Coax<\/strong> (HFC) and Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (FTTP<\/a>) network. But the on-going upgrade to the latest DOCSIS<\/a> 3.1 network standard is gradually making gigabit speeds available.<\/p>\n

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

Until today around 6.8 million premises had already gained access to this upgrade across big parts of London, N.Ireland, Southampton, Manchester, Reading, Birmingham, Coventry, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Leeds, Bradford, Glasgow and various surrounding areas. However, today’s announcement sees a large number of additions (spoken only as “hundreds of thousands<\/em>” of premises) across South Wales.<\/p>\n

As a result, the D3.1 upgrade has now gone live across VM’s “entire network<\/em>” in Cardiff<\/strong> and surrounding areas such as Adamstown, Ely, Grangetown, Lisvane, Pentwyn, Rumney, Saint Mellons, Thornhill and Whitchurch. Other areas set to benefit across South Wales<\/strong> include Barry, Bridgend, Caerphilly, Glamorgan, Port Talbot and Rhondda Cynon Taf.<\/p>\n

The rest of their network – 15 million+ premises in total (likely to hit 16m in around 12-months\u2019 time) – are planned to follow by the end of 2021. For the next few years VM can rightly claim to be the largest UK provider of gigabit speeds, even if it is only the on the downstream side. Openreach<\/a>’s rollout of FTTP<\/a> to 20 million premises won’t catch up for a few years, although VM have signalled that they could build to a further 7m premises in the future (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Jeff Dodds, Chief Operating Officer at Virgin Media<\/a>, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“At a time when our services play a vital role in supporting people\u2019s lives and powering the economy, Virgin Media is continuing to invest and as a result our gigabit footprint is growing like gangbusters.<\/p>\n

With our latest switch-on in Wales today, all four UK countries and capital cities can now benefit from our next-generation connectivity and the rest of our network will follow suit next year.<\/p>\n

Whether people are working from home, learning online, video calling friends and family, or binging on a box set in 4K, with Gig1, they\u2019ll be able to do it all at the same time without worry or delay.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Customers who take out the related Gig1Fibre<\/strong> package will be sent a new HUB 4.0<\/strong> (TG3492LG-VMB<\/em> \/ Gigabit Connect Box<\/em>) router and you can see the specification for that at the bottom of this article<\/a>. The HUB 4.0 is VM’s only router with DOCSIS<\/a> 3.1 support, although they have made the device available on some slower packages in certain areas to help tackle issues of high utilisation (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Prices for the new 1Gbps broadband package typically start at \u00a362 per month<\/strong> (standalone broadband) on an 18-month term and come attached to a guaranteed price freeze for at least 24 months. Customers can also take this alongside Virgin Media’s various Pay TV packages, albeit at extra cost.<\/p>\n

As before we should point out that the operator’s D3.1 upgrade currently only fully applies to their downstream connectivity, while the upstream side is still delivered using the old D3.0 network (this will change eventually<\/a>). As a result, some of the latency improvements that come with the D3.1 standard haven’t yet been introduced and upload speeds continue to be very limited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
