I do really hope your dream comes true - for all of us ;)

They binned the 2nd version by Huawei and are in negotiations for a 3rd version from another supplier which may or may not have external antenna's.

Now if they go with internal antenna's lets hope they install more than 2 and not just at the back of the device.:erm:

If they now went with a mainstream supplier such as Cisco or Motorola it would show that they made a mistake so unlikely to happen as they want corporate branding even if the internals are inferior.

Cisco do not make any consumer CPE kit.

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

Oh well, Linksys then. I thought he meant it just wouldnt be awesome if Cisco made it.

Re: Virgin Media to Double Broadband Speed
 

Cisco make quite a few consumer modems which a quick google can find for just about anyone link HERE

The last model Virgin Media had was the EPC2100

A quick google will find for anyone what the term CPE means:

You can see a standalone modem is none of the above.

In addition the above modem was made by Scientific Atlanta, not Cisco. Cisco terminated the above product and all related products as soon as they bought Scientific Atlanta.

thats my old modem I had before upgrading to 30meg.

Also end of life, i.e. discontinued since 2005.

So again, Cisco don't make consumer CPE kit. Truth of the matter is, Netgear are one of the few players who do produce an all-in-one cable modem, router, and wireless device, and Huawei, another big player in the market already supply VM's biggest competitor.

It's as much about marketing and brand alignment as anything, bigger numbers (i.e. "MOAR SPEEED!!!11oneoneone") and well-recognized brands sell product and Netgear is undeniably one of the best known residential gateway providers out there.

So who makes the VM TiVo and V-HD box?

My Virgin Media says that i am up and running on the new speed, however i am still on 30mbit even after a modem reboot, is there sometimes a delay in getting the config as i don't want to ring them up and will wait a few days? :)
