VM get away by technically saying 1Gb is = to 1Gb ports with overhead the fact that you can get more means nothing only when you go to 2Gb with VM should they have to give you a hub5 with 2.5Gb NIC.
its was and is a bad idea for VM to say 1Gb but it sounds better then 950Mb
But maybe if you downgrade they may ask why then they may give you a hub 5
Virgin's own website states that the Gig1 package has "1130Mbps average download speed" but this is not possible with a Hub4. Virgin will not give existing Gig1 customers with a Hub4 the new Hub5 capable of the advertised average download speed. They state "The advertised download speed for Gig1 is calculated using the midpoint from the fastest and slowest speed from our customer panel". They should indicate if this panel is made up purely of Hub5 users and should also state that if you have a hub 4 that you will not achieve speeds greater than 950Mbps.
