Hub5X XG-PON Questions
Hi everyone, New to Virginmedia and I have a 1Gbs FTTP install planned at the end of the month. My street was dug up by Virgin this year with green fibre cables installs and chat agent confirmed I will be supplied a 5X hub. Seems info on the 5X is still thin on the ground so I thought I'd ask a few questions. 1. As of September has anyone got modem mode to work on the 5X or are we still awaiting a firmware upgrade? 2. The WAN fibre port, does anyone know the spec of the patch cable used, is it single or multi-mode? 3. Is the fibre cable hardwired into the terminating box or could I buy a longer fibre patch lead if I ever wanted to re-position the router? 4. Given the 5X is full fibre (no coax / dociss) what are the average ping times people are seeing, is it sub 10mbs? Does anyone have any BQM's to share? 5. What has the general reliability and stability of the router been like? 6. Has anyone used the 10Gbs/2.5Gbs port to harness the full speed above 1Gbs? Thanks
