Recently purchased one if these just for test purposes really, with the intention of squeezing a little more from my Virgin gig1 fibre connection which comes into the router at 1.15gbps. Low and behold speeds tests show an increase in speed to my PC. I did have to play around with a lot of the advanced settings (thanks to reddit) in order to achieve this but once it was configured correctly it's been great.

What does 1.15Gbps to your PC Achieve that you couldn't achieve with 1Gbps?

That extra bandwidth would be better used for other devices on your network rather than the time spend in solving a none existent problem.

It seems someone is bitter about how I choose to run my network for some reason. It gives me a platform to consume greater speeds and even greater once it's available to me from the market.

You're assuming there is other devices.

And answer is above, a platform for future.

So does the Virgin router have 2.5Gb LAN ports?

Correct, from Hub5 onwards.
