UK ISP Virgin Media<\/a> (VMO2) has today confirmed that their entire network of 1.2 million premises in Scotland now have access to gigabit broadband speeds (1130Mbps downloads and 52Mbps up), although this figure includes some areas that have previously already been upgraded to the DOCSIS<\/a> 3.1 standard.<\/p>\n

At the last D3.1 rollout update in November (here<\/a>), we noted that the operator had already upgraded 14.3 million of their covered premises to the new cable standard, which effectively left 1.2 million premises to go before achieving their completion target by the end of 2021 (VM’s network covers a total of around 15.5m premises).<\/p>\n

However, the 1.2 million figure announced today for Scotland actually includes a big chunk of DOCSIS<\/a> 3.1 upgrades that were unveiled in previous phases of the rollout programme. But sadly, their announcement fails to clarify precisely how many more have just been added (today) to complete the deployment north of the border.<\/p>\n

Previously, a good chunk of Virgin Media<\/a>’s customers on their 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

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

Since 2015, the provider has also invested more than \u00a3180 million<\/strong> via Project Lightning<\/strong> to expand their network coverage to another 300,000 Scottish homes and businesses, with tens of thousands of additional homes being added in the last year alone – including in Glasgow, East Lothian, Dundee, Fife, East Renfrewshire and Angus.<\/p>\n

Rob Evans, VMO2’s MD of Fixed Network Expansion, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We\u2019re delivering on our mission to upgrade the UK, investing in our network to help the country bounce back stronger.<\/p>\n

Our latest gigabit switch-on means that every home connected to our network in Scotland is now able to access ultrafast speeds fit for today and fit for the future.<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s through our gigabit roll out, 4G<\/a> and 5G<\/a> upgrades or network expansion, we\u2019re going further and faster to deliver next-generation services for the people of Scotland.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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 pre-launched a much more capable HUB 5.0<\/strong> (Sagemcom F3896LG-VMB<\/em>) router (details<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Prices for the new 1Gbps broadband package typically start from \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

One catch here is that D3.1 has only been applied to the downstream side, while uploads remain hobbled by the older EuroDOCSIS 3.0 standard. The operator does intend to go back and upgrade their entire network – c.14.3 million premises in existing HFC areas (the rest are on full fibre) – to FTTP<\/a> by the end of 2028 (here<\/a>), but we understand that existing HFC customers won’t have to wait for that in order to get better uploads (the plan for this is still unclear).<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, VMO2 also plans to expand their 5G<\/a> mobile coverage to cover 50% of the population in 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
