Half speed hero
Hello I've been running into a strange issue that I just can't seem to figure out, so I thought I’d share it here to see if anyone has come across something similar or has any advice. I’d really appreciate any help or insights! Networking Kit: VM Home Hub 4 in Modem Mode. Asus RT-AX92U is Primary connected to the VM Hub via Cat6 (provided by VM), from Port 1 on the hub to the WAN port on the router. Asus RT-AX92U Secondary is connected to the primary router via a mesh network setup. Networking Setup and Issue: I’m experiencing significant speed loss between my Virgin Media Hub and my router. Here’s what I’ve tested so far: When I plug a wired connection directly into Port 1 on the VM Hub, I get speeds over 1 Gbps, so the external connection appears solid. When I run a speed test through the router, even using a wired connection, I only see about half that speed. Wi-Fi performance is also capped (as expected to some degree), but still lower than it should be. What I’ve tried: Swapping Ethernet cables (Cat6). Changing ports on both the VM Hub and the router. Rebooting all devices. Despite all of this, I consistently lose around 50 percent of my available speed between the VM Hub and the router. Any ideas on what could be causing the bottleneck? This isn’t a new issue. It’s been happening for a while now, and I’m honestly just fed up with it.slow speed to hub5
Hi All hopefully someone can help or advise on this issue that I have been experiencing since September 2024 i upgraded to the 1Gig package from my previous 350meg in Feb of 2024 along with this they also upgraded the hub from the hub3 to the hub5. Initially it was all fine for a while the hub was receiving the 1Gig speed coming into the home according to samknows/realspeed checker - then from September 2024 onwards the hub itself is not receiving anywhere near to that sort of speed. please see screenshot below - did this check while writing this post. i always get around 200 average coming into the hub5 for whatever reason. Virgin Media engineers have been out to my home on several occasions since this issue has started - i have had 6 visits so far till date and they still cant fix this speed issue. throughout these visits they have re-pulled the cabling with brand new cable on the outside, they also replaced the cabling internally with new cable, they have also checked the cabinet on several occasions, also have replaced the cable box on the inside of the home, and have also replaced the hub5 once so far BUT the issue still exists... still not getting the 1Gig speed... i am frankly fed up with this i feel like i should be entitled to some sort of compensation as the agreed speed is not being delivered to the hub itself thus is a breach of contract. during my time on the 350meg package on the hub3 i never had this sort of issue - always received the full speed coming into the hub - this has only been happening since upgrading to 1Gig if anyone else on this community forum has experience similar issues like this please can you assist in advising what can be done or how to resolve this issue, thanks!!Your Internet is Too fast (LTT Video), dont waste your money
I've been with Virgin Media's 1 Gig service for 18 months. I spent a lot of money on a Wi-Fi 6 XT8 setup specifically to get 1 Gb speeds over Wi-Fi, but when the renewal came through, the price hike made me reconsider. So, I had my partner sign up for their 350 Mb service(it was cheaper than my renewal). Honestly, apart from the occasional large Steam download, I haven't noticed any difference in performance. We also switched to Sky Stream, which offers 4K and Dolby Atmos, which is is so much better than virgin360, thank you virgin media retention team Recently, I watched a Linus Tech Tips video about internet speeds, and after checking my own setup, I completely agree with Linus's findings. There's no way I'd sign up for Virgin's 1 Gb service again, unless they offer a symmetrical connection. feel free to go and watch linus tech tips video "your internet is to fast" and make you own mind up
