    Perhaps every person in your street is running continuous ping tests & speed tests.

    What actual task is not working well when connected to the Hub 5x via a network cable ?

      I need stable connection mainly to comfortably play online games, but with ping like this i cant.

      Why would people make continuous ping tests for past 3 days, reminds me moment from TF2 expiration date " I have done nothing but teleport bread for three days."

    considering your not on Docsis that ping looks like ass. 

  • VM technician came cleaned cables , replaced router , same problem .

    With SKY this wasnt a problem , sky had random drop of internet from minutes up to hours, a few times a month.

    UK broadband sucks so far, and prices make it even worse.

  • Same issue with me aswell, been working well for 2 months, however 2 days ago it all went to **bleep**. typical virgin media
