Maybe everyone had the same idea to run a speedtest?

Which speed test are you running against, try speedtest.net and set namesco london.

Also if you have a look at my post here: http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/Up-to-100Mb-broadband/Packet-Loss-main-point-and-New-R36-Firmwar...

There are a couple of options i would double check on your router post the R36 upgrade.

my speed is up and down, im constantly having to reboot the superhub every couple of hours

I would try turning of the upnp option in your superhub if you dont use it (this has been know to cause issues on previous firmwares)

Might be worth to test even if you do use it.

i disabled upnp, my speed went from 1.6 to almost 80, i,ll see how long it lasts coz nothing ever seems to with virgin tbh

Good show, however is it possible someone/thing inside your network was setting up upnp and eating into your bandwidth ?

Anyway glad it appears to have helped.
