Re: Virgin Media investigates 10Gbps DOCSIS 3.1 connections
 

Short answer is yes. DOCSIS 3.1 (and every other version) is designed to work on real-world networks with their noise and all the other undesirables. As technology gets better they can squeeze more out of the same cable.

as they have done with this docsis 3.1 advancement. real bug fix it seems. bugs? ah still a massive fix nonetheless.

Bug fix????

Not sure where you get that from....

im sure it'll make sense to Sirius!

Re: Virgin Media investigates 10Gbps DOCSIS 3.1 connections
 

At first post's link it says commercial will be out 2015 (the 3.1)
Until that time... :scratch: lets wait for now the current updates :cool:

No.

I'm curious why they called it DOCSIS 3.1. As far as the RF layer is concerned, 3.1 is a much bigger change from 3.0 than 3.0 was from 2.0. Hell, the changes from 3.0 to 3.1 are bigger than from 1.0 to 3.0.

I have been doing international speed tests comparing Virgin Media 100meg connection VS BT 8 meg connection. Virgin media is not much faster than BT when it comes to international speeds, in fact I some times question the point of having a 100meg broadband connection. I would rather Virgin Media at this time spend its millions on its back bone,as there is no point at this time offering speeds faster than 40 meg.

could you please elaborate? what youve said doesnt make much sense. it isnt as black and white as youve put it.

Re: Virgin Media investigates 10Gbps DOCSIS 3.1 connections
 

I understand exactly what he is saying, i find it hard that you don't???

Re: Virgin Media investigates 10Gbps DOCSIS 3.1 connections
 

Virgins international peering is sh...erm naff or congested is the general jist I got from that post.

Re: Virgin Media investigates 10Gbps DOCSIS 3.1 connections
 

Quite :)

That wasn't too hard to work out was it ?

Re: Virgin Media investigates 10Gbps DOCSIS 3.1 connections
 

Yes but he was complaining about VM not putting enough money into their backbone.

VM's backbone is fine. Other networks are not VM's backbone.

Re: Virgin Media investigates 10Gbps DOCSIS 3.1 connections
 

Backbone is probably the one part of virgins network that is OK but it was obvious by his post that he actually meant to show virgins routing or peering/transit links to other countries is not good by his own tests. Something we were already aware of though.
