Another Hub 5 user with latency issues...
I know some people have had issues with the Hub 4 as well, but I have not long moved from a Hub 4 to a Hub 5, because I wanted the 2.5G port to benefit certain devices and max out the connection. I never experienced an issue with the Hub 4 and I had very consistent ping times of 6/7ms and latency on both download and upload <18ms at all times. However, since getting the Hub 5, I have have worse latency and awful latency spikes. Speed is on point, but latency sucks. Sites that measure buffer bloat have downgraded me from an A to B rating and low latency gaming is suffering. My kit: Hub 5 in modem mode > 2.5G eth port > OPNsense box with ample capacity. I use Unifi access points (all testing done via cable anyway). Even if my kit were the issue, which it is not, I would have had the same issues with the Hub 4. So much for Virgin's latest DOCSIS hub. If I had known it was going to be this bad, I wouldn't have bothered getting it. Before anyone asks - nothing else on my network has changed, I literally swapped it out with the Hub 4 and now I have this. Any ideas? Can I get a new hub to see if that does it?Solved727Views0likes48CommentsUnstable ping/latency & packet loss
Hi, Like quite a few others, over the past few months my Gig1 connection has been suffering from periods of high latency & packet loss. This doesn't really affect streaming, web browsing etc, but it totally kills any kind of competitive gaming. I've tried factory resetting the router, reseating connections etc. Nothing's worked. Does anyone have any advice? Todays graph so far: Yesterday: Saturday: Some stats...

Hi, I've reached out a few times to both Riot and Virgin 150 support numbers and not had much luck. I get passed back and forth. I'm trying to resolve ping issues im getting. Currently I ping 40 to London, 30 to Frankfurt and then 40 again to Paris when trying to play VALORANT despite living in the UK. I'm trying to see what I can do or ask or who I can ask to try bring better routing so that my London server UK ping is way down. I play with a wired ethernet directly into the router. I've done a full reboot via the pin as suggested. I have also tried doing everything from Riots side they recommended, which was diagnostic tools and DNS flushing. Desperately need some help and advice as its tied to my income slightly and want to be playing on the lowest ping possible for it1KViews1like1CommentPower levels on Hub5
Hi guys, had an engineer visit last week and only really got a chance to test it all properly. To cut a long story short I was having intermittent issues with connection, ping, jitter etc so engineer instantly said that the signal was too high for the line. So started testing under load, and it’s probably worse than it ever was but a bit late in the week now for VM to resolve. Looking through some threads on here and couldn’t really find a “what should my power levels be” thread. picture of downstream/upstream network status, either above or below? Thanks 🙂976Views0likes2CommentsExperiencing high ping spikes
Hi, I'm currently a Virgin Media internet subscriber to a package with speeds of 1000mbps down and 50mbps up. In terms of speeds, my internet has been perfect since first getting it. However, over the last few months my internet has degraded when playing multiplayer games. When playing titles like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, Rocket League, and even Forza Horizon 5, ping previously was consistently around 20ms-30ms depending on servers etc. Now, my ping can randomly spike: sometimes as low as 40-50ms, sometimes as high as 800-900ms. Its getting to the point where multiplayer games are unplayable. I'm of the belief that its oversubscription but I'm hoping that its a router problem and that it can be fixed by purchasing a better router, but I don't want to make that investment until I know. Any help is appreciated!4.7KViews0likes26Comments
