Had my 1Gb service installed last week. From the start, I've been getting a ping of around 26ms at idle and 250-300ms when downloading. The speeds themselves are fine. On my laptop with a Thunderbolt 3 hub I get 950Mb on the LAN connection. WiFi delivers 500-600Mb.
As I'm on a full FTTP connection I had been expecting single digit pings. Friends have Hyperoptic's 1Gb service and that delivers ping times of 4-5ms.
What are others experiencing.

Virgin's offering is nowhere near the quality or price of the full fibre providers currently available.

Usually 20 - 30ms on a 'standard' connection, and 10 - 15 ms on fibre to the wall socket (The last few meters is still copper to the HUB).
Are you definitely on 'full' fibre?
Full fibre:
Standard

Definitely on full fibre. We are in a newly cabled area. It's a full PON network.

In which case I'd expect 10 - 15ms.
Maybe worth creating a BQM.

BQM?

They take PON fibre all the way to the house… then convert to DOCSIS to get through the wall and back to Ethernet? Is there logic behind that?

I don't think it likes my set-up. I have the Hub 4 in Modem Mode as my Linksys MR8300 is my router. That then control the rest of the Velop Mesh.

Fibre to the media convertor box outside. That converts the fibre to coax. I have 2 coax feeds from the media convertor. One to the router and the other to the TV boxes via a splitter in the attic.
