10 Gbps speeds over HFC Plant with upgraded passive components, emphasizing the re-usability of our existing coaxial cable. The DOCSIS 4 CPE and node was the culmination of joint development activity with our vendors and silicon partners. In 2024, we finalized plans to introduce a DOCSIS 4 Network Termination Unit, which will terminate DOCSIS 4 (up to 10 Gbps), and connect ethernet, via the Connect Box, in similar fashion to the XGSPON two-box architecture that is described above.

In 2023, we added a cybersecurity feature to our ONE Connect Platform called Smart Security, providing our customers with safe browsing and advanced network protection features.

Our Connect Box is available in all our markets, and during 2024, approximately 11 million of our customers had a Connect Box. We also offer our Connect App that, among other things, allows our customers to optimize their WiFi coverage and manage their connected devices. In addition, we provide Intelligent WiFi mesh boosters, which increase speed, reliability and coverage by adapting to the environment at home.

Internet speed is of crucial importance to our customers, as they spend more time streaming video and other bandwidth-heavy services on multiple devices. Our extensive broadband network enables us to deliver ultra-high-speed internet services across our markets. Our residential subscribers access the internet via cable or XGSPON modems connected to their internet capable devices, or wirelessly via WiFi. We offer multiple tiers of broadband internet service, including gigabit or greater speeds across our entire footprint. The speed of service depends on the customer location and their selected service. 

By leveraging our existing fiber-rich broadband networks, we deliver gigabit or greater speeds by deploying DOCSIS 3.1 technology. DOCSIS 3.1 technology is an international standard that defines the requirements for data transmission over a cable system. Not only does DOCSIS 3.1 technology improve our internet speeds and reliability, it allows for efficient network growth. Currently, our ultra-high-speed internet service is based primarily on DOCSIS 3.1 technology, and we offer this technology in all of our markets. Alongside DOCSIS 3.1, XGSPON technology provides our gigabit services an additional boost, as exemplified by the launch of a 2 Gbps tier of service at VM Ireland during 2023, supported by our XGSPON Wifi 6 gateways.

We offer value-added broadband services in certain of our
