They binned the 2nd version by Huawei and are in negotiations for a 3rd version from another supplier which may or may not have external antenna's.

Now if they go with internal antenna's lets hope they install more than 2 and not just at the back of the device.

If they now went with a mainstream supplier such as Cisco or Motorola it would show that they made a mistake so unlikely to happen as they want corporate branding even if the internals are inferior.

Cisco make quite a few consumer modems which a quick google can find for just about anyone link HERE

The last model Virgin Media had was the EPC2100

you can see the brand name above.

A quick google will find for anyone what the term CPE means:

CPE generally refers to devices such as telephones, routers, switches, residential gateways (RG), set-top boxes, fixed mobile convergence products, home networking adaptors and internet access gateways that enable consumers to access Communications Service Providers' services and distribute them around their house via a LAN (Local Access Network).

You can see a standalone modem is none of the above.

In addition the above modem was made by Scientific Atlanta, not Cisco. Cisco terminated the above product and all related products as soon as they bought Scientific Atlanta.

Can I suggest we get back on topic...

This doesn't include accusations of stalking nor does it include who might of made what kit.

Any more posts like the one I deleted will especially be infracted

Also end of life, i.e. discontinued since 2005.

So again, Cisco don't make consumer CPE kit. Truth of the matter is, Netgear are one of the few players who do produce an all-in-one cable modem, router, and wireless device, and Huawei, another big player in the market already supply VM's biggest competitor.

It's as much about marketing and brand alignment as anything, bigger numbers (i.e. "MOAR SPEEED!!!11oneoneone") and well-recognized brands sell product and Netgear is undeniably one of the best known residential gateway providers out there.

So who makes the VM TiVo and V-HD box?

No more warning, back on topic please which is the planned speed upgrades for the internet packages only

[Kymmy]

Two public warnings about off-topic posts (this thread is not about cisco or any other cpe manufacturer) and you guys are still continuing.. Next posts will be infracted unless they are on topic

My Virgin Media says that i am up and running on the new speed, however i am still on 30mbit even after a modem reboot, is there sometimes a delay in getting the config as i don't want to ring them up and will wait a few days?
