Virgin Media testing DOCSIS 3.0 to new limits with 200Mbps, 3D and 1080p
Forget 101Mbps Internet service or even the 160Mbps available in on J:COM in Japan, Virgin Media is about to put a lucky few of its slick new modems to real work, testing 200Mbps internet, "full HD" broadband content (we take that to mean 1080p) and 3D. All delivered via DOCSIS 3.0, the downside is that at least for the next six months this pilot project will be extended only to about 100 "lead adopters" around Ashford, Kent for testing. We've heard all we need to get packed for a move, how about you?

Now we just need the Government to mandate this and make it available free of charge. THEN we can start the talk about getting rid of physical media and moving to streaming only.

all this new found technology would not matter to me, as I am still under Time Warner, with their lame-o 512kb/s on upload. CATCH UP Time Warner Columbus!!! you are a disgrace to broadband internet services!
