Install went OK swapping out my hub 3 (new install last week M500) for 4 but seeing some bizarre speedtest results. I'm trying to work out if its the server that's slow or me. Sometimes 915, highest ive seen, sometimes 600. I can seem to pretty much max out the link on some occasions. I am on a decent network cable in modem mode. iperf achieves a locked 940mbps locally on the lan. Unfortunately I've no idea how to read the logs yet (im new to virgin also) so if anyone would be so kind to advise.

All the power levels etc. look spot on, except the US power levels are too low. They should be above 34 and lower than 51.
Can you setup and share a live link to a BQM please, see www.thinkbroadband.com/ping

Be aware my upload is maxed (6.4 megabytes a second flat line) right now, and will be for some hours, as my computer has backed up and its uploading to cloud. 1 gig with 52mbps upload, pfft!

Be aware my upstream is maxed right now (6.4 megabytes per second flat line) and will be for some hours due to computer backup to cloud. 1 gig with 52mbps upload aint cutting it!
