DREEALL Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 As someone on the same package, i've not had a single problem with speeds and consistency however, on any other packages (had the old 200mb package) IT WAS EXTREMELY POOR. High utilisation in my area lasted for a year, this meant i had poor ping and speeds. Imagine in game, 4 to 1 bar constantly, called rubber banding. So far so good though, only issue would be the nat type, and the superhub 3. Can't open it for the life of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably depends where you are and how congested it is near you. As Dreeall says, he has no problems. It was horrible for me though, I had 150/10 (something like that) and it was unplayable because of the stuttering, rubber-banding, teleporting, disconnections, etc. If it's a terrible line then you'll know as soon as you play games (or try to play games). If you suspect, from playing, that it's not great then you'll know for certain when you test your line. If it feels fine when you play then don't worry about it and just play. only issue would be the nat type, and the superhub 3. Can't open it for the life of me. If you put the Duma in the DMZ of the superhub you should get an open NAT. If you still do then you can manually forward the ports and it will be open, I had Virgin superhub 2 and 3 and could get an open NAT. Although sometimes it would still go 'moderate', a quick Xbox rebooted opened it up again. That's definitely a superhub issue because it happened before I even had the Netduma, when the Xbox was in the DMZ of the superhub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 15, 2017 Administrators Share Posted January 15, 2017 If you have a modem you can connect that straight to the Duma. Virgin may require you to use their hub though, in which case you could DMZ the R1 or put the hub in modem mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
