sub91 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 hi all just finally got hub 2ac from virgin media and yes worse then the hub 3 http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest/12113756 im coming to the end with virgin media mite just pay the 300 to come off the contract not fun gaming with this much problems
N3CR0 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 I'm on Virgin too, load of crap they are for gaming.
BIG__DOG Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 virgin are notorious for being garbage for gaming. I left them after 18 years and switched over to BT vdsl as soon as it was active in my area. The drop from 152/12 to 76/19 was well worth the trade off for a more solid line and superior gaming experience. Although i left BT to join idnet the switch from virgin to dsl was well worth it.
sub91 Posted March 17, 2017 Author Posted March 17, 2017 Well what annoys me is that people was saying there's less bufferbloat on the hub 2ac but it's the same amount it's worse on the hub 2ac then it was on the hub 3
Zennon Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 If you have an uncongested line then the CPU is said to be better in the 2 as it does not create extra jitter on top of what you already have but it sounds like you are heavily congested.
sub91 Posted March 17, 2017 Author Posted March 17, 2017 It's only me on this VM line and only 2 other people in my street have virgin media
Zennon Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 It could be in such a low populated Virgin user area that they have under provided between you three, or that you connect to an area with a lot more users the latter would make more sense to a business.

Zennon Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 A program like ping plotter is better for judging jitter and latency I think than dsl reports.

ColonicBoom Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 i'm coming to the end with virgin media mite just pay the 300 to come off the contract not fun gaming with this much problems Don't pay it. Give them constant (but polite) grief, keep calling for engineers (Virgin don't charge for sending engineers), within a few weeks they will probably let you out of the contract without penalty because it'll be less hassle. They did for me, in about a month. And I really wouldn't pay much attention to dslreports for testing Virgin, I got A+ across the board on a line that I couldn't play games on. I was a teleportation machine.
