Now that is quite obviously completely different to what I am talking about and you know it, as I am talking about stupid repetitve speedtests and doing follow up trace routes over the same distance in the vain hope that no one notices when it takes a slightly different route on its one way journey which is no comparison to a extended connection such as you speak about.

if u say speedtests are stupid....why does vm go on about how fast their network is??

i was referring to packet loss...not speed tests

how hard is it to admit there is a problem with packet loss??

and u still havnt answered my question...will this new firmware upgrade thats coming resolve my packet loss concerns??

yes or no....please let me know cos its getting a bit tedious to say the least paying for a product that doesnt deliver....its vm thats states that there will be no issues with latency...not me

ill put it another way....would u buy a ferrari that only had 3 wheels?

see the image taken a few minutes ago ..to the bbc..to TRY and imagine how hard it is for me to try and play a game

I was referring to the continual speedtests and traceroutes attempted to Wellington in New Zealand a couple of days ago which is rather pointless as the can be be no consistency in the results over that distance due to routing.

Pretty sure they were just doing that for arguments sake, not submitting it as cast iron proof of VM network problems, which you would have noticed if you had paid more attention instead of warping posts to fit your own interpretation.

We know they were doing so for arguements sake but I see no warping of posts.

everytime i play games these days i get told to clear off cos of the packets loss

really wish i hadnt upgraded to the superhub

i was getting better ping with no packet loss when i was on 10mb

Treat yourself to one these jiggers

Plug one into the hub and other into your console and Kazzap!

These connect like hard wired = no lag

Leave the wireless part of the hub for your PC

my pc is hard wired to the superhub

and its still a pathetic connection for gaming

in every other respect...such as surfin or downloading....its perfect

i just want my packetloss to disappear so i can play games...and not have to spend time looking at her indoors lol

moaning about each other doesnt help really. And its off topic. I hate to see people moaning about each other.

Back on topic, the superhub was rushed out, marketted very well by the bods at VM, but poorly tested. I'm glad i am not using mine right now. In hindsight, and knowing that the ambit 300 can do 100 meg easily VM should have stuck with that until something more solid was available and, most importantly, had been tested properly.
