Ben want to place a bet as to how long it takes for this to turn into a VM or shub bashing thread ;)

However it's good to see that VM are looking to move to Docsis 3.1,

By this do they mean a 10Gbps pipe for the entire country? Sounds about right.

Longer than I expected lol

I'll bite! VM Can't even give me a stable 10mbit connection, let alone 100x the bandwidth :)

The article only suggests that are trying docsis 3.1 which would give those maximum options, not that VM actually will push out such a product within the next few years.

Lots of could's in that article. They could start trials in 2014, then again they could not.

what will traffic managment be like?

how come i cant get 10gbps wireless? im going to sky

Re: Virgin Media investigates 10Gbps DOCSIS 3.1 connections
 

Customers hardware is likely to become a bottleneck at those speeds but even so, hard disks would be full after an hours use :)

Once the newer HD tv standard starts getting pushed out and the streaming services offer tv and films in that resolution, more bandwidth will be handy.

I had a bet with someone on pm you would be one of the first, thanks :tu:

Re: Virgin Media investigates 10Gbps DOCSIS 3.1 connections
 

Oh it was an obvious bait, hence my taking the bite. Knowing I had posted on the forum in the last 30 minutes or so increased the chances somewhat too. That bet was like taking candy from a baby!

Glad I could be of service :handshake

Re: Virgin Media investigates 10Gbps DOCSIS 3.1 connections
 

understanding docsis 3.1 would be a good start before bashing the usual Qtx.

Re: Virgin Media investigates 10Gbps DOCSIS 3.1 connections
 

I knew enough to realise that 10Gbps is the standard speed of docsis 3.1 and not that VM will be offering it to their customers for a few years, if at all. Interesting from a techy point of view but we wouldn't want the less technical to be fooled into thinking VM will actually offer that. ASA may be able to slap VM for their misleading ads but they can't slap a VM employee who starts a thread, thats my job! :)

wrong.

Re: Virgin Media investigates 10Gbps DOCSIS 3.1 connections
 

Explain why I am wrong then. Otherwise its just a random word you are throwing out.

random word :Yes:
