Netgear CM1200 for gaming and Virgin media hub 5
Hello everyone,
I am a keen player of call of duty and chatting with other friends they raised the point that certain brands (like netgears and others) can improve your ping and latency, latching only on nearby servers and generally being more functional, customizable and faster than standard hubs.
I did my research on Netgear appliances and my attention went on NETGEAR Nighthawk Cable Modem CM1200.
But before buying something like this, has anyone any expert opinion on the above. Is it worth purchasing an extra modem or it wouldn't improve particularly the game experience? Thanks to whoever will share is experience and expertise!

The HUBs are registered on VM's network using their MAC address. VM wouldn't allow third party devices on their network. There is no way around this as the HUB is added to your account, so regardless of other users 'option/experience' it's not possible to use your own modem.
You can, however, put the HUB into modem mode and use your own router/mesh system.
