Had enough of Virginmedia 50mb service!

[punisher]

its not actually that bad, yeh the netgear firmware for virginmedia is pants and limited, but it gives you the full speed hardwired and wireless. the settings on the router need changing completely to allow this to happen which most people arent aware of, but once changed they tend to fix issues with connectivity and intermittent connection and speed issues. I will have to change to it once the damn 100mb comes but by then hopefully the firmware issues would have been sorted

wow ...i wish i knew what you guys were talking about ....a surely you all missed a decimal point out when quoteing speeds ? ... back to my aledged 8mb !!! LOL

For me the Virgin superhub is the only reason not to go 100mb, for me only unless I can use it bridged otherwise i'll be steering clear, any router on my setup has to run tomato, THE best router f/w bar none.

the superhub will be coming with a "modem only" option so you can use your own router and just have the superhub as a modem. most people do that now already by just disabling all wireless functionality and using it as a modem, but there will be an option soon that will make it completely modem only

100mb is now avail in my area. Does the hub work ok with the duo via homeplugs without restricting the boxes functionality. Also is it really worth all that speed vs my current 20mb.

Superhub works with anything. Just needs configuring from the default firmware as a few buga but there are workarounds. I dont see why they would not work with homeplugs as 50mg users ive seen use homeplugs with sucess. 100mg only really for gamers, heavy downloaders and streamers although for most 20mg more than sufficient enough. U can upgrade to 30mg for free withjust a one off charge of £30 for the huband have it sent to you through thenpost ifyou dont fancy 50 or 100

Just an update. Its took Virginmedia approx four months to fix the utilization issue in my area, so that gor fixed around a month ago. Now for the last few weeks my connection has been dropping and I've had to keep re-booting router etc...So yesterday went out and bought a new belkin router which never cured anything. Tbh I thought it could be my connection. Anyway phoned them up and theres a hardware issue with the server node I'm connected too!!!!!!! For fooksake cant I have uninterrupted service for a few months!!!!! THe main thing that has really pissed me off is they're saying it wont be fixed for another fooking week, damn connection is unusable in the evenin!!!! I'm totally sick of this service

[jjp2701]

i know what you mean sic, my virgin connection, they always say the servers are overloaded and always working on it, shocking company they are

[silverfox0786]
