Instead, it&#8217;s a cable-based service using DOCSIS 3.1 technology. This means a fibre optic cable runs to a nearby street cabinet, with a coaxial cable running between the cabinet and your home.<\/p>\n<p>Although DOCSIS 3.1 can give comparable download speeds to full fibre technology, the upload speeds will normally be slower. The latency of your connection will also typically be higher which can affect things such as online gaming.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Switching_to_Virgin_Media\">Switching to Virgin Media<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"border shadow-sm alignright wp-image-27347 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Switching-to-Virgin-Media-250x230.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"230\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Switching-to-Virgin-Media-250x230.jpg 250w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Switching-to-Virgin-Media-768x707.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Switching-to-Virgin-Media-40x37.jpg 40w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Switching-to-Virgin-Media-100x92.jpg 100w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Switching-to-Virgin-Media-500x460.jpg 500w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Switching-to-Virgin-Media-750x690.jpg 750w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Switching-to-Virgin-Media.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/>If you&#8217;re switching to Virgin Media&#8217;s Gig1 fibre broadband, it&#8217;s easy to do this.<\/p>\n<p>Start by <a href=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/redir\/?go=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.virginmedia.com%2Fbroadband%2Fgigabit\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-aff=\"Virgin Media\" data-ourl=\"https:\/\/www.virginmedia.com\/broadband\/gigabit\">ordering your new Virgin Media Gig1 broadband service online<\/a>.
