Nope. All the current modems Virgin suppy are a maximum of DOCSIS 2 only

The DOCSIS 3 version will only be issued to 50Mb customers to start with

If you are a 20Mb/XL customer and upgrade to 50Mb you would get a new modem as part of the upgrade.

I am assuming the DOCSIS 3 modems are backwards compatible, so you then wouldn't need yet another new modem if you went back to 20Mb or below
