Broadband ISP Virgin Media<\/a> (VMO2) appears to be in the process of laying the groundwork for both faster upload speeds and latency times (ping), which comes after a growing number of the provider’s customers began reporting activation of the first DOCSIS<\/a> 3.1 channels for upstream on their HUBs.<\/p>\n

At present Virgin Media<\/a> has already deployed the latest DOCSIS<\/a> 3.1 technology to the downstream side of their mixed Hybrid Fibre Coax<\/strong> (HFC) and Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (FTTP<\/a> via RFoG) network, which has long since made it possible for them to launch gigabit speed packages. But upstream performance has yet to benefit from this improvement and, until now, has remained stuck on the older DOCSIS<\/a> 3.0 standard.<\/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

However, between 2020 and 2021 the operator did conduct a number of 2.2Gbps speed trials<\/strong> (here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>), yet only one of those enabled DOCSIS 3.1 on their upstream channels and was thus able to produce an upload speed of 214Mbps<\/strong> (the current best is just c. 55Mbps). But since then, the trail has gone cold, and we’ve been patiently waiting for any sign that VMO2 may be preparing to add D3.1 to their upstream connections.<\/p>\n

The good news is that, since late July, a growing number of our readers – those who are also Virgin Media<\/a>’s broadband customers – have been reporting (here<\/a>) the activation of both an additional DOCSIS 3.0 and an additional DOCSIS 3.1 channel on the upstream side of their connections. The reports have come from across the UK and from people with different packages. We’ve since seen similar reports on VMO2’s own forum<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The new D3.1 upstream channel is fairly small and seemingly only appears to be harnessing QAM8<\/strong> (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation), which is a common method of combining several amplitude modulation signals into a single channel for a bandwidth boost (used across everything from fixed line to wireless networks). But we suspect the channel will actually be much more capable than that, or routers may be reporting it incorrectly.<\/p>\n

One other benefit of deploying D3.1 to the upstream side is that customers would benefit from faster latency times, which will be of particular interest to anybody who enjoys a spot of fast-paced online multiplayer gaming. Indeed, this is one area where Virgin Media has tended to be a bit deficient, and any improvement is thus likely to be given a warm welcome.<\/p>\n

A Virgin Media spokesperson said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We have no changes to announce but we\u2019re constantly upgrading and optimising our network to give all our customers faster and more reliable services.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In our view, Virgin Media is clearly laying the groundwork for faster upstream performance, but there’s currently no clear indication of how long people might have to wait before they actually launch the boost. It may take a bit of time to fully deploy the change across their network, thus it could potentially be sometime in late 2022 or, more likely, during 2023 before we see any real product changes.<\/p>\n

Customers will also only be able to take advantage of this if they have one of Virgin Media’s two DOCSIS 3.1 supporting routers, the HUB 4.0 <\/strong>and HUB 5.0<\/strong>. The older HUBs and SuperHubs are only able to support the DOCSIS 3.0 standard, although quite a lot of users have now upgraded to the latest kit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
