Yeah I'm more used to seeing pings in the 12-18ms

I always see with QOS

I swear someone, somewhere, is messing with me.

Same story here, they came then left, returned then moved around the corner quoting we will be back for your grove when we get the permit... OMG!

Will VM ever go to 1/1 ratio up/down? Seems like they can do it but just dont?

Apparently when they go FTTP - they will use the same technology as CityFibre.

Not enough of their areas are FTTP yet to offer a package just for FTTP.

Any timescales for that? Assuming that means digging up drives actually?

A quick google says by 2028 for FTTP costing Liberty Global around £100 per premises.

 

[Ad_Augendae]

@Rainmaker vyos might be my new go to tool for testing.... it's all included already.
htop
iperf3
watch
netstat
iftop
etc,etc
ifconfig works out the box as well much pleased.

It will be a number of years as they announced, they havent even done the 10:1 rollout yet, areas like mine need work to support 100mbit upload.

I've just got the 100mbit upgrade.

 

[Locky]

Looks like RFoG customers will get 100 mbs upload soon. I now have 6 QAM 64 channels on my upload..

Here is mine for VM 350 on Hub5:

 

[willhub]

Via Samsung, my desktop didn't have the issue with low latency gaming but it wouldn't pull more than 350mbit on this test? Despite speed test registering the 750mbit download. Bit miffed why I ain't getting 960mbit anymore tho

 

[NeoVo]

I have the 1Gig package.
VM doubled my upload speed, 50 to 100 mb free of charge.

Required router restart for it to kick in. No comms from VM directly.

 

[brendy]

500/50 service here. Ping was never great for gaming, average is about 38-43ms and feel it should be faster given the local Virgin network infrastructure is all very fresh.

You using AX kit? if so thats about right speed wise, it was the 100mbps I was looking at tbh.
So the question is how many upstream channels do you have listed and what hub do you have.

@NeoVo Same question to you if you have around 100mbps upload or more.

Will the channels be in the router? I've got the Hub 5?

It's disappointing getting 750Mbit I've been consistently getting 965Mbit download, something is not right. And something is even more not right my desktop only reporting 330Mbit on that page when Speedtest reports the correct speed, well the slower but correct speed of 750Mbit

 

[Ad_Augendae]

Yeah in the hub 192.168.0.1 or modem mode 192.168.100.1

What does RFoG stand for?

I just changed my package last week to big volt bundle 500mb, do I get the upload boost? last I checked I think I was getting around 50mb upload.
