Broadband ISP Virgin Media<\/a> (Liberty Global) appears to have expanded last year’s DOCSIS<\/a> 3.1 based trial, which took place in the Berkshire town of Thatcham (here<\/a>) and pushed their network to “hyperfast<\/em>” download speeds of up to 2.2Gbps (214Mbps upload), to include parts of Southampton (Hampshire) and Manchester.<\/p>\n

At present the fastest speed you can get on the DOCSIS<\/a> 3.1 side of their network is 1Gbps (average of 1,130Mbps download and c.50Mbps upload), which applies to both their Hybrid Fibre Coax<\/strong> (HFC) and Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (FTTP<\/a>) powered lines. The ongoing upgrade plan means that this should become available to all the 15 million+ premises covered by their UK network by the end of 2021 (here<\/a>) – at present it reaches 7 million.<\/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. This also supports other enhancements like Distributed Access Architecture \/ Remote Phy (R-PHY) – here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/div>\n

However, the D3.1 standard they use is theoretically capable of achieving peak downstream speeds of up to 10Gbps and 2Gbps upload, which means that Virgin Media<\/a> has scope to push beyond 1Gbps in the future to help keep pace with rivals. The previous trial in Thatcham<\/strong> was a useful way of demonstrating that, and for the first time they also applied D3.1 to their upstream channels, which pushed upload performance to 214Mbps.<\/p>\n

As we understand it the expanded Proof of Concept<\/strong> (PoC) trial that has just taken place in Southampton<\/strong> and Manchester<\/strong>, which is very similar to the previous one, has actually dropped back to use the current upload speed of c.50Mbps – via the older EuroDOCSIS 3.0 standard.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing we aren’t entirely sure why they’ve done this, but it could be an indication that they may launch a 2Gbps download tier before the upstream side is fully ready to be boosted (nothing in this trial required additional infrastructure or civil engineering works).<\/p>\n

Jeanie York, Virgin Media<\/a>’s Chief Technology and Information Officer, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We invest more than \u00a31 billion into our network every year to deliver leading connectivity today, but our talented teams never stop pushing forward to ensure we\u2019re ready to power our customers\u2019 connectivity needs for whatever comes next.<\/p>\n

Our services are being relied on and used more than ever before, and these innovative trials in Manchester and Southampton demonstrate how Virgin Media\u2019s existing network is fit for the future with hyperfast, multi-gigabit broadband speeds delivered straight to customer homes.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As before 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>. The HUB 4.0 is VM\u2019s only router with DOCSIS<\/a> 3.1 support, although they have made the device available on some slower packages in certain areas and to help tackle issues of high utilisation<\/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 will ship with a more capable router (it may not).<\/p>\n

As fun as all this sounds, it’s worth remembering that those with a 1Gbps capable line will already struggle to make use of such speeds and pumping that up to 2Gbps+ 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 and, eventually, even services that can harness that sort of speed. But right now, this may be more about marketing than practical use.<\/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 networks competitive for some years to come. We expect to see a 2Gbps package to launch in the future, albeit after the D3.1 deployment has completed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
