The firmware is basically what tells a device how to run. The R36 firmware is currently under trial and isn't available to the general public... pretty sure it won't be long though.

Either way if you want my true opinion, if gaming is the main reason you want a broadband connection then Virgin is a bad idea. As Qasi said, Virgin are the worst for consistency of latency, i know this first hand as i've been battling with Virgin for a while about the issue.

If you can swap over to BT Infinity, i'd strongly recommend that, or if not, just go to ADSL.

It's not all about headline speed with Latency, one doesn't necessarily affect the other, i could get an ADSL line in with a top throughput of 3 megabit and still beat Virgin hands down on latency and jitter.
