Re: Modem mode - what does it fix ?

ignition I back up his claims (assuming you reading this)

When I was last able to compare the superhub to the vmng300 I was able to verify the same upstream channel and it wasnt just jitter, the actual base latency also increased which was visible on my tbb graph. In my view it only shows itself if there is sufficent upstream congestion hence people still getting good latency in low utilised areas.

The superhub was fine on sustained downloading, large files etc. But latency sensitive stuff it was visibly laggier and that included web browsing.

My gut guess is that the configuration is tuned to higher queue depths which allows higher speeds in congested areas (hiding congestion) but also adds delays to packets. As in my view the superhub on my connection did give more sustainable speeds under congestion conditions which in theory should make me happier however the latency made almost everything 'feel' slower.
