Ive only got 1gig hfc I wonder when fibre is coming to north lanarkshire

Interesting that the PON fibre runs to an ONT integrated into the VM Hub instead of a separate ONT on the wall with Ethernet to a router. Pros: one less powered box, and easier for VM to upgrade to later PON variants in the future. Cons: lots of fibre connectors (3) in the signal route causing significant attenuation, plus inflexibility in Hub/router placement as you're stuck with the VM fibre cable between wall plate and Hub instead of a generic DIY Cat 6 Ethernet cable. Also a wall mounted ONT provides a convenient copper Ethernet socket demarkation point allowing one supplier for the fibre service that stays with the house, and then customer selection of a separate retailer for the internet/router/WiFi service. Not that VM have to worry about this for now.

Would be good if can find some cheaper alternative modules to do this with. These WAS-110 SFP+ modules are seriously pricey compared to rhe majority of modules. Does anyone know if these modules are compatible with HeyBroadband FTTP? Also if compatible with Ubiquiti EdgeRouters?

Jolly boys outing🫡

All the more poignant since Television Centre has been torn down 😢

Hiya, interesting video mate, getting 1 gig VM fitted on 4th Jan. Can I just ask, what is the intro music you use, sounds very much like ELO but can't find it anywhere. Thanks

I get lower ping on sky full fibre, my latency shows as 6.43 ms. My friend who has BT Full Fibre who also lives about a 10 minutes drive from me gets 2-3 ms latency. Virgin Media’s routing is horrible indeed. I wonder if that’ll ever get fixed.

Thank you so much for posting these scenes! I feel like these lost scenes make the final film more complete. Gremlins is obviously a great film, but the version we have today definitely feels a little bit rushed.

Imagine how much more compelling this video would have been with actual video instead of static photography. Would have made dealing with your monotonous monotone voice all the easier. Wait, 16 minutes in omg we have real video! Woohoo Woolgoolga.

I wish I knew how they made this one

Whats better out of the NR5103E and the NR5103Ev2?

E4, stop playing with your food!!

Where’s the fish?

How do I know if I can get symmetrical download and upload in my area? Right now I’m 1gb down 100 up

Nice setup. In my apartment I have a UPS for backup, but it doesn't help since we use HFC fiber to Coax configuration at the POP for the building that does not have a power backup courtesy of the cable company. So, when power goes down in the building, I lose my internet because the HFC has lost power. When power returned the HFC reconnected to the Rogers CO. But I still must power cycle by router and my Xfinity boxes since they come back faster than the HFC (It takes about three minutes to complete the connection as far as I can tell) Rogers has no interest in adding a UPS to the HCF configuration since we are a low income building and our outages are typically a couple of times a year for less than 5 minutes on average so Rogers representative has explained ot me.

Here in Toronto, I am in a low-income building and use the local cable providers discount plan. They recently upgraded our premises connection to a HFC Hybrid Fiber coax POP fiber connection to the building (FTTB?) that then runs RG56 CATV to the units. It's an easy way to get rid of the aging copper plant i the neighborhoods without having to spend any money re-cabling the actual building units. Rogers have split the building into two HFC Nodes leading back to the single fiber connection that has an HFC control module of some sort. Unfortunately, the installers (third party contractors that spoke extraordinarily little English) were not interested in talking about the setup. They were told where to put the boxes and how to power them. and where to connect the fiber. I got most of the information by looking at the boxes they were throwing in the garbage. and taking pictures when they left the boxes open on the side of the building during their breaks and lunches. the Fiber itself was installed by another third-party contractor (They were even less willing to talk to me) and told me to call Rogers) They knew nothing about the architecture or configuration. One for each face of the building (East side and west side) It's been remarkably stable with only one major outage due to a regional power failure lasting several hours. The downside to the HFC configuration is that it relies on building power for its operation and Rogers is not interested in installing a UPS to keep both nodes operational since power failures typically last only a few minutes. The HFC nodes will re-establish their connection when they get powered up. Then we must manually cycle our routers to re-establish the connection to the HFC Nodes. Now on top of this we also use Xfinity for our cable TV. which establishes a wireless connection to the router in our unit with a private hidden VPN. The VPN Channel is fully encrypted as well so getting the details even with packet sniffing would not be possible without the decryption key and it is a session-based key from what I have been told. Thus, it changes every time the router is power cycled, and a new connection is established. So, even with a direct fiber connection I could not work directly from my own router unfortunately. I would still need the Rogers router for the Xfinity session.

Hey, Thanks for this video and the guide you done, very much appreciated, I will be following this all very shortly, got my new router, WAS-110 on their way, however I need to get the LC/APC to SC/APC, You have kindly linked to a cable on amazon, but is there also just an adaptor to convert the existing VM cable to SC/APC, if possible can you link one that will work or reccommended, I want to ensure I don't order the wrong adaptor, thank you

mesmerised me as a child

Hi I have city fibre network installed to my address and having trouble choosing between A&A, IDNet, Yayzi, or Zen. These are supposedly the top 4 ISP’s from my research. The broadband will be used for working from home and mobile gaming. I am based in Coventry, West Midlands. Which of the ISP’s would you recommend and is a static IP required so I don’t have CGNAT? All help is appreciated.

Wouldn't touch VM with a barge pole, currently on a city fibre connection 1gb up/down, switching isp's Thursday and getting upto 2.5gb up/down as this area now has the XGS-PON upgrade.

You have two "Sticks" in the last pic. Were you doing Failover? I'm trying to look into auto gateway failover with Ubiquiti Shadow mode.

Very informative, thank you for producing this 👍

This is stunning!💯

The B&W variant has been used during closedown in the mid-90's, but this variant wasn't (it was used into Ceefax from 1998-1999).

This ident might have been the "default" ident from 1995-1997 when the network transmission area opened, and it was replaced by "Swan" from 1998 onwards. Hence it was the ident most commonly used for closedowns during that time.

Along with Optic, Steam, Car and Shadow, this ident was most likely to be used whenever BBC2 closed down for the night in the mid-90's.

I was on Virgin Media all went well until I tried to report a fault.

It would;d be nice to see a video of a cab install.

What speed plan sdo u have

Lopez Paul Moore Christopher Gonzalez Maria

I assume you use the Virgin HUB in modem mode since you have better equipment? This is something I'm gonna be doing in a couple of weeks when they install VM into my home.

Is this 4k or bluray the clip ??

will Virgin implement anything that can cause this not to work in future

Im a total noob when it comes to VLAN's can someone help me with connecting the PON fibre module to sharing its internet across my network?

I’m trying to,figure out here the ‘0 point’ is for the fibers?

Stunning the genius Jeff lynne

For MikroTik from the console, you use; /interface ethernet set sfp1 auto-negotiation=no /interface ethernet set sfp1 disable-running-check=yes This turns off management of the SFP port to manage the speed it can connect at, and will turn on the optics on the SFP. Make sure you have a dust cover in place on the optics so not to blind yourself. 'sfp1' is the sfp interface in RouterOS.

Looks like Virgin have enabled 'modem mode' on the 5x router again, not sure if it has issues. Any thoughts?

Don't know why they don't just do this from the start

After getting the Hub 5x a month ago I've been through all the hoops of trying to get modem mode to work, with absolutely no success I stumbled upon your website yesterday and I'm definitely giving this a go. Thanks for taking the time to cover it in such detail, it's a shame Virgin don't really seem to care. I have a full unifi network with AP's, cameras, dream machine etc... and I'm not going to just use their awful wifi hub because they can't get modem mode working.

Youll be taking away the smart monitoring feature that the Hub5x uses to test for any area issues ect. Samknows monitoring wont relay back to the servers and cause issues resulting in technicians being booked to your address for BB issues ect.

not from the UK but good to See Virgin is finally Doing FTTP BT/openreach has been doing them for years now

Is it still IPv4 only?
