The above conversation is about it not being fixed at all (hence Intel and Ofcom), not that it's not pushed out to some customers. If you don't have it, complain! There's no excuse for it not to be with everyone now.

Why are people talking like this isn't sorted (or as near to as it will ever be) in .608?

I haven't read this topic for a while but was just wondering that too. When .608 started rolling out the response was very positive and customers of other cable ISPs such as those in the US, which were all affected by this bug, have noticed major improvements too.

Yes but that’s the problem, you cannot call support and have them push it to your router, you have to wait until it’s available in your area and who knows when that will be. If we could call up and ask for it we would have done that already!

"I have the .608 firmware version and I still have these goddamn problems"

I don't dispute your experience, but I would comment that gaming on my Hub 3 with the new firmware is day versus night better than the previous general release firmware.  Which suggests that your problems might be non-firmware related, such as wifi, connected device, or line quality.  Sorry that's not much help in diagnosing further.

I had an engineer out yesterday, he said the only problem it could be is the Puma 6 problem, he thoroughly checked the network over the last 2 weeks and went into a lot of detail about it, he was genuinely great but was adamant that there was nothing wrong with the Hub or the network and the problems I was getting could only be related to the chip. He said he'd run some more tests on the network over the next few days and phone me back if anything weird shows up just in case so I'll post back a response of what he said to here.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'day vs night'? After 10pm for me I start to get DNS errors on all my devices and can barely maintain a connection sometimes and this can go on all night. Even on wired on my laptop this still happens.

This is just a snapshot, hopefully he picks this up on the tests until Saturday as this was happening shortly after he left then settled down at 11pm. It's different from all my usual ones as well, it's shorter but it started happening at a much earlier time yesterday than usual.

Hi

This thread is now closed as a fix has been implemented for the Puma 6 issue outlined at the start of this conversation.

If you are experiencing similar results, or have not yet received the latest firmware (608), then please start a new thread in the appropriate section of the Community.
