DMZ random disconnects
I had DMZ Enabled on my Network since I need port 25 for my mail server but VM blocks it from being port forwarded, But on my computer this seems to randomly disconnect from Games, Discord. I also tested this on my phone with the issue seeming to be on all devices on the network ( I cannot test the device that the DMZ is on since it is a server ). After disabling it for testing it, My internet seems to be constant and as not cut out once since I have disabled it. Could I call VM to get them to unblock it? Will they unblock it? Why is it blocked in the first place? ( I looked online and it only said SMB and smth else but not port 25 )
xgs-pon with own router...
Well... Wish I was advised of this during signup. Now cancelled BT which I was happily using (albeit without symmetrical 1Gbps upload), constant 0-8ms ping on games such as Fortnite or to Cloudflare DNS/Adguard DNS and a stable speed over to the "upgrade"..... Can't use my own router reliably, double-NAT, no modem mode (could use PPPoE auth with BT and Sky[Sky needs DHCP Option 61 enabled]), consistent 5-8% packet loss to GeforceNOW (plus the extra 6-10ms latency...), fluctuating download/upload speeds mainly affecting the upload (burst: 700Mbps then drops steadily until the end of the test sometimes as low as 300Mbps). BT had a speed guarantee of 700Mbps, what is it here? Is there any chance of using my own router without their router also being in "router" mode? I've tried everything I can think of to try and get it working and now I refuse to spend anymore time on it when the whole network was fine prior to moving to Virgin xgs-pon. The whole product seems rushed through the door so as to not lose out with new customer take up in new areas... When is this going to change? If it isn't in the next month can I still cancel or what because this is the worst FTTP implementation I've used....?
