upload isn't the cause of high latency unless someone on your network is using the upload or saturating it causing your latency to increase. It's most likely your local area is congested for upstream and you are suffering latency/ping spikes because of this.

If gaming is a must for you a 80/20 VDSL2 connection usually performs better ping/latency wise than VM. especially with jitter.

This is my Aquiss 80/20 VDSL2 Connection.


My VM 350/36 connection is allover the place with ping anywhere between 18-80 in peak hours only gets plugged in for big downloads/used for wifi.

yeah i just ran tests via dsl reports and i have 200+ bufferbloat im looking on how to fix this with the hub3 hopefully the hub4 is much more advanced and has none of these issues

Re: latency (Ping )
 

200+ bufferbloat? You're lucky, I just got 2662mS! And that is about typical...

So it's all part of the fun of being a virgin media customer 🤔😂

Re: latency (Ping )
 

I love my first person shooters like the best of them but if you need a guaranteed ping under 30 all the time then you are going to have to look to a non-VM connection for it.

Re: latency (Ping )
 

Not every VM connection is bad

Mine's not "Bad" but not as good as some here, lowest ping i see to UK stuff is about 20ms but it's never caused my any issues gaming etc

Re: latency (Ping )
 

would a SamKnows white box cause my issues ?

Re: latency (Ping )
 

try running without for a week see if it improves but i very much doubt it.

Re: latency (Ping )
 

cool thanks for the reply Kalleh ;)

Re: latency (Ping )
 

This is pretty typical for my connection.

What do you use to ping a site?

edit.... guess you used CMD ping -t 151.101.0.81 .... had to google that never tried it before.

hey SnoopZ thanks for the response :-) do you or anyone know how to open these ports on the hub 3 TCP: 80, 443, 3478, 3479, 3480
UDP: 3478, 3479 ?
