Speeds certainly seem to be, done speed tests at various times last night and all was well. Yes I suspect it is the Puma problem, which luckily won't affect us for what we use it for.

The Hub 3 really is basic, also in router mode you can see the channels it's using but in modem mode you can't.

Cost is currently £37 a month, I did want Vivid 350 for the faster upload but its not available yet.

You can get information from the Hub in modem mode - try http://192.168.100.1 and don't log in - there should be something in the top right if I recall to get modem stats from.

Thanks, yes there is, "Check router Status" it's in the middle underneath the login, actually pretty good idea to put it there, saves logging in.

Indeed. You're in a good place both for DOCSIS 3.1 and EPON if they ever get around to actually rolling it out!

Talking to someone who lives in Stone Gardens today it transpires that VM managed to cut the BT underground cable a couple of weeks ago while doing their thing in that cul-de-sac. They were without landlines and internet for nearly  24 hours because BT could not/would not come out till the next day to repair it. Several very unhappy bunnies in that road!

A few years back the gas board cut  through about 200 lines near the exchange in Sandwich, that took a long time to fix, at least the broadband still worked.

Cancelled our Plusnet phone and broadband this morning, bit sad as I've been a customer for around 15 years.

Also upgraded to Vivid 350, CLOKent managed to get things sorted so it's now available  ;D

Finally a decent upload, oh and faster than 98% of the UK  ;D



Speeds seem very stable at peak times (so far) - see attached

We have been with BT for over 40 years. They did contact me about staying, but when I mentioned being 3k from the DSLAM and switching to VM, the guy accepted that BT could not compete on product speed.

Same here, although only 450 meters roughly, BTor copper/ally cables just can't compete speed wise, PN never once even asked me to stay. If I could get 80/20 I would of stayed.

Wow thats an awesome speed Ronski! :)

Can you feel the speed change?

I know when I happen to get interleaving taken off this line (happens about once a year) I feel the quickness in that extra 10MB.
