Virgin 100meg

I reverted back to the modem from a superhub due to a 50% loss in upload speed and serious wifi issues like some have stated.

O well looks like the SuperDud can stop in the box. Thanks for all the info guys. You might have saved me loads of time on the phone!

What's the upload speed on 100mbit?

timaloy · 14 Jun 2011 at 13:14

9.4 i get

Meekal · 14 Jun 2011 at 15:38

I get minimum of 9.1 also, not had anything to upload to try this out though.

100MB is just Awesome

I'm using the SuperHub, have a modem which I got due to some problems at the start however I've not used it yet.

I've downloaded 1.2TB so far (those *nix iso's are huge)

Well, frankly its crap. Wifi is a joke, and wired swings between 35mb to 90mb. Not happy at all.

HNR1 · 23 Aug 2011 at 16:24

Well i've had it a while now i was getting about 86 to 96 Mb's but now i'm only getting 60 Mb's if i'm lucky, so not happy a all.

Wifi is a no go but that's ok as mostly hardwired.

Too bad the latency is rather higher compared to BT fastpath.

Whats Usenet speed like? Are you getting full bandwidth?

I have it in Glasgow, seem to be having a pretty bad time with it though.

Can't seem to get any speed tests clocking in at 100Meg.
But when I'm downloading i get 11850 kb/s.

Connection seems to be throttled quite a bit also, which according to Virgins Page, 50 Meg shouldnt be throttled, never mind 100 Meg.

Although Pingtest is showing my Line Quality as grade A, my mate who lives 5 Minutes from me is experiencing some bother and getting a Grade C.

Nvm just read this

My 100 Meg is load of crap all this week! Even thought ping and upload are ok but download is almost 50% gone on all wi-fi on crappy superhub !

Mine is more stable now since an engineers visit today, i had two before, the one that installed and then another one. I had pointed out twice before the cable box was over 11 years old, this time they changed it.

He said they'd check back with me in a couple of days.

ThePanther · 30 Aug 2011 at 10:06

i got like 99.5 download other day on speedtest ill post it when im at home ;d

Garfo · 30 Aug 2011 at 19:43

we still waiting down in good old devon

50mb still

HNR1 · 30 Aug 2011 at 20:03

Scratch that mine is still unstable ranges from 20mbs to over 70mbs :confused:

Antivirus is disabled.

The only constant is the upload speed.

Lemons_Mufc · 30 Aug 2011 at 21:42

Getting 100Mb installed on thursday, Due to the problems with the superhub i asked them to keep my old modem which i used on the 50mb so hopefully it should be alright

I'm thinking of getting 100MB this week. Is there any option other than the superhub? Can I not just get a modem and let me use whatever i want for routing

We've ordered it for our new house in July. Getting it installed on the 4th.

The new place is in Withington, Manchester...and it became available to order about two weeks ago.

I am about to order Virgin's 100Meg service and live in Didsbury so it's likely I will be connected to the Withington UBR. May I ask what latency is like for you? Have you had any issues with online gaming especially during peak periods?

Thanks
