Re: Virgin testing 2.2 Gbps

The speeds were delivered via the existing cable network using DOCSIS 3.1 broadband technology and the Hub 4. The trial also provided average upload speeds of 214Mbps.

To overcome the issue if the 1G ports they partnered with SamKnows who delevoped a clever little speed tester that will actually run the test within the Hub4. This removed the usual restrictions with the 1Gb Ethernet ports.

This, apparently, is a live feature on the network today and all Hub4 customers can access this via www.samknows.com/realspeed. SamKnows will then accurately run a speed test in accordance to the OFCOM Speed Code and return the results back to the customer in just under 30 secs.

If you’re on the Gig1 service or on the latest Hub4 then You can try it. Hub3 users not yet.

How’s your mind?
