My vm contract ended at the perfect time as the day my contract ended is the day cityfibre went live in my street, got a nice deel on it aswell 900Mbps up and down then in aprill i have the chance to upgrade that to 2Gb up and down. My network setup is able to go up to 10Gb so my current setup going to last me a while,on the pluss side aswell is cityfibres ONT only draws 7w under full load so i'm also going to be saving on power by changing broadband provider.
With BT's ONT if you receve the one with orange ethernet port thats the one with 2.5Gb ethernet port. Im not going to be using my new providers router going to be using my own orbi mesh setup with 64bit 2.2GHz quad-core processor works good with VM but will bee good to see how it copes with faster upload speeds.
As predicted many times on here, engineer turned up on the morning and was very helpful and understanding, but ultimately couldn't do anything as the connection was fine. He agreed that it was pointless as most issues always rear their heads around peak hours, despite my proof of constant packet loss on BQM.
So yeah, nothing to do about it, I'll be calling Virgin tomorrow to discuss the contract that ends this month.
Gaming this evening is strangely playable, about time? Lag spikes exist still but no packet loss currently.
However for the last 24 hours this is a gem:
