But so far as we can tell, this is currently only being tested on some of their latest XGS-PON lines.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Just to recap. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vm\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Virgin Media<\/a> are currently in the process of upgrading millions of their legacy <strong>Hybrid Fibre Coax<\/strong> (HFC \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/docsis\">DOCSIS<\/a> 3.1) powered lines to support the latest <strong>Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> \/ XGS-PON) technology, which is a programme they&#8217;re aiming to complete by 2028. On top of that, they&#8217;re also rolling out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> to an additional 5-7 million premises &#8211; via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/nexfibre\" target=\"_blank\">nexfibre<\/a> &#8211; using the same technology.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bq2\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Both VMO2&#8217;s HFC and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> networks are technically capable of 10Gbps speeds, but only the latest XGS-PON side can deliver symmetric performance (i.e. faster upload speeds on HFC are still a challenge).<\/div>\n<p>Over the past few years\u2019 we&#8217;ve seen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vm\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Virgin Media<\/a> conduct a number of 2Gbps speed trials (usually at a profile rate of c.2.2Gbps) and they&#8217;re widely expected to introduce a package at this, or a faster rate, in the near future. But one aspect that does tend to change is their upload speeds. The original 2Gbps trial in 2020 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2020\/09\/virgin-media-uk-trials-2-2gbps-broadband-to-homes-in-berkshire.html\">here<\/a>) was, until now, the only one to ever test an upload rate of 214Mbps, while those that followed tended to use 50-100Mbps (104Mbps is the current rate on their 1Gbps package).<\/p>\n<p>The reality is that pushing 200Mbps uploads across their older HFC network, while possible, would still be quite challenging to do today and hence why the latest trial in <strong>Scarborough<\/strong> (and possibly other locations) seems &#8211; so far as we can tell from the feedback on our forum (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/talk\/threads\/virgin-media-offering-2000-200.40825\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>) and elsewhere &#8211; to have only been conducted with those covered by their new <strong>XGS-PON<\/strong> network.<\/p>\n<p>The 200Mbps upload rate is also in keeping with Virgin&#8217;s desire to deliver a 10:1 ratio of download to upload performance. Customers on the trial, which previously delivered a slower speed, have also been informed that, as well as being boosted up to 2Gbps\/200Mbps, they&#8217;ll also be able to continue using the speed for free until <strong>15th March 2024<\/strong>.
