But VM's top product (on coax) can only hit 630 Mbps. How can that be called 'gigabit capable'? Or is that taking into account the upgrade to DOCSIS 3.1? Or their own Gig1 rollout programme?
Interesting, thanks.
Their top package is 1 gig. It's actually over 1 gig as Virgin over provision at 1104Mb/s.
https://www.virginmedia.com/shop/broadband/gig1-gigabit-broadbandIt's available where they have completed the DOCSIS 3.1 upgrades.
That covers over 7 million homes so far and is available in London, Northern Ireland, Southampton, Manchester, Reading, Birmingham, Coventry, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Leeds, Bradford and Glasgow.
The DOCSIS 3.1 upgrades are meant to be complete by the end of 2021, making the Gig1 package available to all Virgin customers.
Coax or FTTP (RFOG) makes zero difference.
You can very much order over 1gig on coax today in areas that have been upgraded already.
