Thanks for your experiences! Getting to be a pattern here
Seen a few comments about their new hub. The wireless side shouldn't affect me as the bandwidth intensive stuff will be hard wired and my wireless devices are mostly used within a short range. Just hope they don't have firmware issues in the same was as VM have had and still apparently have.
Not having to call support..... just seems strange after being with VM for a good few years lol.

Perfectly normal to expect a dedicated line to be more stable than one shared with ~500 other users

Its easy to assume based on the technology that fibre to the cabinet and then Catv/coal to the house would be more stable than old copper cable over a large distance with some tricks used to get the most out of it. More so if like most customers you don't understand the network behind the buzzwords and advertising.
So do 500 VM customers share the same fibre from the UBR/chasis or from the cabinet? I knew there could be up to 250 or so customers per line card connected to the UBR and each UBR can have x amount of line cards connected. So the line cards can be one potential bottleneck even before meeting up with the other customers. Or is that number actually higher and the 500 number you are talking about? Would be nice to finally know for sure how this works and at how many different points bottlenecks are likely to occur.
