Virgin Media Query

To all, Virgin Media subscribers, has purchasing a NetDuma Router helped lower your latency issues with the Superhub? I’m thinking of buying a Netgear XR1000 but don’t know if it will be a waste of money.

Hey, welcome to the forum!

I have Virgin, what are the issues you're having with the hub exactly? Then I can best advise.

I was on VM when I bought my Netduma R1 back in 2017 and yes it really helped with the ping spikes that cable internet tends to give you.

Sorry for late reply, completely forgot to check back🙃

Here is what my internet looks like currently

Under what circumstances was the test done - were you connected via WiFi/ethernet? Were there any other devices connected at the time and were they using the internet?

I looks really busy even in the early hours but that could be your isp equipment. Is this the puma 6 chipset?

As it’s a test that sits in the background you can see the spikes and the dropped packets at 10pm. I can guarantee with Duma you can smooth that out but the base latency may remain depending on if it’s a characteristic of the Virgin hub.

Here’s an old test I did on my line and duma that controls your system should prevent those spikes and pack loss on your line easily.
