Hi All
Anyone else moved to gig1 ? How long did it take to see a change in speed - speed test is showing no change, SamKnows is showing no change... so wondering if it takes time for the service to provision ?
I saw a huge increase in variability on throughput and latency. The graph below is from the line monitoring - you can see when the provision to 1G happened yesterday - before that throughput is a constant 550mbps flat line - after that it's all over the shop as is the latency.

All connections are via Ethernet - No Wifi involved.

Hello
Which hub do you have is it either a hub 3 or a hub 4 if you still have a hub 3 then that will not run for a 1gb service ?

Hub 4 - everything attached to Gigabit switching. Port to port on network is 928,428Kbits with a <0msec latency (That's from iPerf so in reality is running at theoretical GE max of 940Mbps)
Hub 4 has been working since December with no issue on M500.
thanks

It might be a good start to upload your router stats and setup a BQM and we can see if anything is amiss 🙂
Type 192.168.0.1 or (192.168.100.1 if you have your Hub in Modem mode) into your address bar at the top of your browser
Do NOT log in, just click “Check Router Status” at the bottom of the page. Sometimes the “Check Router Status” is missing, in this case just go ahead and log in and go to Advanced Settings-> Tools-> Network Status.
Please copy and paste the contents of the Downstream, Upstream, Configuration and Network Log tabs, if you get a yellow warning just click the Post button again.
Do not try to fit everything in one post! You can use more than one post for each configuration tab if needed!
If you get a warning when you hit “Post” just hit “Post” again and it should work ok!
Please do not use screenshots
Also can you please setup a Broadband Quality Monitor (BQM) at thinkbroadband.com. Just click on Create a new monitor.

Please try what I posted here. I switched from 600Mbs to 1Gb service and had the same issues until I did this. https://community.virginmedia.com/t5/Speed/Slow-Speeds-from-Hub4-to-PC-on-1Gb-s-A-partial-Solution-a...
Let me know how it goes

Apologies for the delay - All the details are here (Link is still topping out at 600Mbps unshaped)

I don't see a 3.1 downstream channel. Your upload power levels are too high and your download power levels could do with being levelled out a bit, you would need an engineer to put right and so far your BQM is showing a lot of latency spikes which could be caused by the high upload power levels.
Best to ring Virgin on or just after 8am on 0345 454 1111 or 150 from a Virgin landline, alternatively you can wait here for a Virgin staff member to pick it up, but unfortunately this will typically be between 5-10 days, sometimes sooner, sometimes later depending on how busy they are. If you decide to call it in it will run through a few automated options and after that ring back again and it should recognise that you have rang previously and then put you in the queue for a Virgin representative.
