Broadband ISP Virgin Media<\/a> (VMO2) has today switched-on their DOCSIS<\/a> 3.1 network for a further 1.7 million UK premises, which means that a total of 10 million premises can now access speeds of 1130Mbps down and 52Mbps up. The latest areas include Blackpool, Cambridge, Leicester, Nottingham, Oxford, Swindon and more.<\/p>\n

At present VMO2’s customers can already access top ultrafast speeds of c.630Mbps (Ultimate Oomph TV bundle) via the operator\u2019s existing EuroDOCSIS 3.0 based Hybrid Fibre Coax<\/strong> (HFC) and Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (FTTP<\/a>) network. But their ongoing upgrade to the latest DOCSIS<\/a> 3.1 standard is gradually making gigabit speeds available across those same areas.<\/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

Until today, a little over 8 million premises had already gained access to this upgrade across big parts of London, N.Ireland, South Wales, Southampton, Manchester, Reading, Birmingham, Coventry, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Leeds, Bradford, Glasgow, Bournemouth, Bristol, Northampton, Sunderland, Wolverhampton, Wigan and York, as well as various surrounding areas.<\/p>\n

The rest of their network – c.15.5 million premises in total (likely to hit 16m by this time next year) – are planned to follow by the end of 2021.<\/p>\n

Lutz Sch\u00fcler, CEO of VMO2, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We\u2019re rapidly expanding our gigabit broadband network and more than 10 million homes across the UK can now access these next-generation speeds.<\/p>\n

As the UK\u2019s largest gigabit provider today, committed to connecting our entire network to these speeds by the end of the year, our investment is helping the UK meet its broadband targets and providing consumers with connectivity fit for the future.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For the next few years’ Virgin Media<\/a> will thus be able to claim that they\u2019re the largest UK provider of gigabit speeds, even if it is only the on the downstream side (upstream is still stuck on the older D3.0 standard). By comparison, Openreach<\/a> does plan to reach 25 million premises with gigabit FTTP<\/a> by December 2026, but they\u2019re currently only at 5 million+ and it will take time to catch-up.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, VMO2 does have a future \u201cambition<\/em>\u201d to expand their gigabit-capable broadband network (via FTTP<\/a>) to reach an extra 7 million homes<\/strong> over the next 5-years. On top of that, they’ll also go back to upgrade their entire fixed line network – c.14.3 million premises in existing Hybrid Fibre Coax<\/strong> areas – to FTTP by the end of 2028 (here<\/a>). A wholesale solution for UK ISPs to take is also being prepared.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, customers who take out the related Gig1Fibre<\/strong> package from VMwill 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\u2019s 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<\/a>’s various Pay TV packages, albeit at extra cost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
