Broadband ISP Virgin Media<\/a> (VMO2) has today switched-on gigabit broadband capability (1130Mbps downloads and 52Mbps up) for another 1.6 million UK homes, which means more than 90% of their entire network has now been upgraded to the DOCSIS<\/a> 3.1 standard. The remaining 1.2 million should follow by the end of this year.<\/p>\n

The last batch of areas to be upgraded include Lincoln, Bath, Lancaster, Fife, Huddersfield, Ipswich, Slough, Salisbury and many others that have not been specifically named (the list would be very long if they included all of them). Prior to today, the operator had already upgraded 12.8 million of their covered premises to the new cable standard, and this has now hit 14.3m (VM’s network covers a total of 15.5m premises).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> D3.1 utilises enhancements like Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), which can encode data by using multiple carrier frequencies, and boosts the amount of radio spectrum up to 200MHz. This also supports other enhancements, like Distributed Access Architecture \/ Remote Phy (R-PHY) \u2013 here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/div>\n

Until today, a good chunk of VMO2’s customers on the operator’s existing EuroDOCSIS 3.0 based Hybrid Fibre Coax<\/strong> (HFC) and Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (FTTP<\/a>) network could already access top ultrafast speeds of c.630Mbps (Ultimate Oomph TV bundle), but by adopting the D3.1 standard they\u2019ve been able to significantly boost the downstream performance up to 1Gbps (potentially hitting 2Gbps+ in the future).<\/p>\n

Virgin Media<\/a> now has one final upgrade (c.1.2 million premises) left to do before completing their rollout to all 15.5 million of their covered premises by the end of 2021, which, when combined with rival Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (FTTP<\/a>) deployments from other operators, could push the UK coverage of gigabit-capable broadband networks to around 60-65% (currently 58%).<\/p>\n

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

“We\u2019re making great strides ahead in upgrading the UK and are within touching distance of bringing the benefits of future-proof gigabit broadband to everyone on our network.<\/p>\n

With our gigabit rollout progressing at an unmatched pace, we\u2019re building the next-generation broadband network that\u2019s ready for the technology of tomorrow.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, at present the extra speed will only benefit the downstream side of broadband performance, which is because uploads are still stuck on the older D3.0 standard. The operator does intend to go back and upgrade their entire fixed line network – c.14.3 million premises in existing HFC areas (with the rest on full fibre) – to FTTP<\/a> by the end of 2028 (here<\/a>), but that’s a long time to wait.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, customers who take out the related Gig1Fibre<\/strong> package from Virgin Media<\/a> today will usually be sent a D3.1 capable HUB 4.0<\/strong> (TG3492LG-VMB<\/em> \/ Gigabit Connect Box<\/em>) router, and you can see the specification for that in this article<\/a>. But they’ve also just launched a much more capable HUB 5.0<\/strong> (Sagemcom F3896LG-VMB<\/em>) router (details<\/a>), albeit technically still more of a pre-launch trial.<\/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 their various Pay TV and phone bundles, albeit at extra cost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
