- - 125M : Vmng300 (https://www.cableforum.uk/board/showthread.php?t=33676152)

there is plenty, and is some in this thread so not sure what you on about.

my only issues regarding the vmng300 has been that it can sometimes reboot itself 2 or 3 times a day , cud be sitting watching something from youtube or tv player streaming when it wud stop responding my messenger programs as well as the modem reboots ,sometimes it wont come back on till i unplug and replug the power but thats not too often , but enough to annoy me when it does, but for most part it seems ok except from speed issues i've mentioned above, so il be trying new router first , before registering that superhub when it arrives in next day or so.

I can confirm that for me, dropping from the superhub to the VMNG300 cut 15ms from my TF2 pings on the same server (was 30, now 15). Helped jitter slightly too, but not enough to shout about.

Can I ask what to do to keep the old modem when ordering 100 Mb?

Do you just ask the engineer?

Officially it is not allowed on the network on 100Mb and sooner or later they will need replacing as they will fail once the upload bonding is finalised and everyone with one will require it replacing with the Superhub.

I was in a rush earlier and inadvertently posted upstream, it should have said Downstream, my bad.:dunce::dunce:

I'm still on 50meg so have no idea :)

You could also try threats and blackmail

Not officially per se, just going on TBB tests threads and seeing that even those with allegedly perfect superhubs have higher latency than other people in their area using the Ambit 250/255/256 or VMNG300.

To me, faster connection is offset by increased latency which makes using the superhub annoying if you absolutely must have the lowest ping times possible, plus need advanced routing functions and rock solid wireless even when transferring large files across the LAN.

As a gamer, that might just be enough to stop me from getting 100 Mb :erm:

We're only talking ~10ms, not a huge amount, but yes the VMNG300 is superior in that regard.

Mine stopped doing that when I had the power levels adjusted to get them within the nominal range. I still get the odd "blip" on the TBB test but as has been mentioned that's probably more indicative of problems between VM and TBB, not specific problems with the connection itself. Generally speaking, service is excellent, and if there's ever a problem it's usually something on the LAN side.

I've had the VMNG300 for about 9 weeks now (along with my ASUS RT-N16) and have yet to reboot either of them. So far, I'm a happy bunny :)

Just out of interest, why are they "alleged" only when someone claims they work ?

I have lower stats with my Superhub than I ever did with my Ambit 256.

I think the entire sentence should be the context. Their Superhubs are "perfect" but have higher latency than other devices. So allegedly they are perfect.:dunce:

If people are going to review connections they need to be objective.

I like the VMNG, I would use one over the Superhub, but I have to make sure I use facts not opinion when reporting on them.

I have found the SuperHub to be great where the 100MB service is concerned, however the wireless range for me isn't brilliant as I'm not to fussed over the latter due to running multiple APs the only reason I would use the VMNG300 is where want to make use of my own router especially as the modem only mode doesn't seem to be coming anytime soon!
