V26 FW

If filling the line then you would expect other data to have worse latency. Hence why some use cpe with qos so they can download and game at same time

I thought you said you'd left VM....

Well on VM I could do 10GB in 10ish mins - now it takes me 2 hours but I no longer have the need to download 10GB files. - knowing I could still push 120GB a day is fine with me. I doubt I will need to. that's still the same as I did on VM.

I did 3.5TB in the last month before cut off. I could do 3.6 on this one in Sept if I wanted to..I just don't want to.

I was thinking of moving on myself and they came up with an offer I couldn't refuse.

I spend most of my time in my holiday caravan on 3G so I don't download much either right now. Mt home PC does run 24x7 though running some stuff and I occasionally phone home if I need something large then pick it up when I next go there.

That's almost the one.

Ring up to complain about upcoming £2.50 increase and end up paying £4.25 less than currently with no further increas to come

You must have either been paying way over the odds or your getting it for about a tenner now then. Or do you have TV too.

So 120Mbps for £10?

Sorry my calculator must be busted - it is saying that the £30 you were paying less the £20 you saved is £10. I'll get another one next time I'm in a pound shop.

I don't but from what you'd posted I thought maybe you did and tried to be diplomatic about it.

I just don't wish to say how much my discount is because it's only my business - that was all.

Around 20 for me..

So stop bleating on and on on these forums about what you do or don't do. It's between you and your gatepost so keep it that way.

Its made a considerable difference - for the better - for me. Even resolved an issue where DNS servers were not being allocated automatically.

This is how it used to be:
My Broadband Ping

This is it now:

if u disable the router and switch to your own in modem mode u get it to look more like this.........

Yes yours shows lower latency than mine - which router are you using?

Also - as I have never used a separate modem and router - how do you configure the super hub 2 and the new router ? (wasn't able to find any details on the Virgin forums) . Thanks!

Im using a Netgear WNDR3700v4. U can get them in PC World or Argos for £89.99 and just do the firmware updates when u get it.

To configure just put the SH into modem mode and plug an ethernet lead into the port which is active on the hub which it will show u a diagram of on screen and then the other end to internet port on the hub. Then using a seperate ethernet cable plug into port 1 on router and then into ur PC or laptop.

U can configure router by following instructions upon setup.

Great - thanks!

How the router is responding to TBB meter doesn't necessarily reflect how it will perform in normal use.

It's still the same modem in the Superhub. The router component may just be a bit 'relaxed' about responding to the pings. It's not a big deal.

Still if you have the 90 quid to spend on a nicer looking TBB meter all power to you Sir!

Had V26 for some time now on the trial, I'm inclined to agree with Igni. Modem mode gives a better graph, but no real performance boost. In the next firmware VM may well have got round to sorting this 'glitch'.

Cheers
