I think virgin is going to lose the fastest broadband badge soon, if any of this is to be believed of course. http://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php...band-2020.html

Late 2016 at the earliest.

sweet, it can only be a good thing and make VM pull their finger out and get docsis 3.1 going

There is still no certified DOCSIS 3.1 hardware yet, We are looking at late 2016 before virgin begins the roll out

Liberty Global is preparing trials of DOCSIS 3.1 technology across Europe later this year. This technology could extend Liberty Global’s speed leadership to up to 10Gb when it is fully deployed in the future.

As I understand it, VM are steadily moving to DOCSIS 3.1 readiness at the CMTS level, with said servers supporting DOCSIS 3.0 and 3.1 simultaneously. Again AFAIK, the BSRs are being replaced by Arris CMTSs.

A new modem (Arris perhaps?) will be required as has already been mentioned and it seems to me that the upcoming 300/15 tier will be supplied in this way. The trick then would be to make the DOCSIS 3.1 introduction as seamless as was the move from DOCSIS 1.1 to DOCSIS 3.0.

Interesting times ahead.

Or it may be a non-VM branded product. I've no hard information on that though.

The 1000Mb isn't G.fast, and the G.fast deployment will start at 'hundreds' of Mb ramping up to 500Mb within 10 years.

VM can be 600Mb capable by 2016/2017 if the commercial need is there.

VM still don't need DOCSIS 3.1 and the kit still isn't available. Early trials starting at the back end of this year with early commercial deployments among some cable companies starting next year.

As I understand it there are multiple vendors being considered for the equipment. It's far from impossible VM will use the same kit as the rest of the LGI family.

I thought that the rollout plan for 3.1 was to start at the CPE level and work backwards?

There are no DOCSIS 3.1 CPE available and this was never the plan. Moving to CCAP gives an element of DOCSIS 3.1 readiness.

I don't disagree, I can only go by some PDF someone posted way last year about the rollout plans. Come to think of it, that might have been a Comcast PDF or something.

Its coming :O

From a survey this morning but sadly lots of mentions/hint about bandwidth limits?
