VM, on the other hand, have been so unwise as to force its users down a lame route. This is what angers me more than the lameness of that wretched SH itself.

:gpoint: :clap:

You appear to have all ignored my request not to post large screen shots and instead post them as attachments.

Re: Can Someone Explain WHY the SuperHub is so...bad?

Are we trying for the longest and most pointless post in Cableforum history as that is so way of topic we may need another server.:D

Re: Can Someone Explain WHY the SuperHub is so...bad?

That was on topic; comparing th esuperhub ot the VMNG300 :)

Re: Can Someone Explain WHY the SuperHub is so...bad?

Pinging servers the other side of the planet is nothing at all to do with the superhub. Back on topic everyone

Considering a good chunk of the argument people have against the superhub is that it makes the latency poor; then yes it is.

The fact that a good majority of websites you visit and game servers you use are outside of the U.K. also makes it a good test of how the isp performs.

Edit: that came across ruder then intended sorry :)

Could you re-do those using this software

It would be easier to compare to the graphs I have put up and seems to be easier to read :)

Attached, vm_trace.jpg for VM, be_trace.jpg for Be*

Re: Can Someone Explain WHY the SuperHub is so...bad?

Anything short of a ping -t is NOT an accurate or even useful test of latancy.

Even then with VM's DPI and protocol shaping who knows what is anymore.
