Dear Ladies and Gents,

story short, we live in a shared house and its 7 of us.
me and my next door house mate regularly play online games.
past few months, i posted a thread about our issues.

our landlord lately upgraded our internet service from 30mb plan (Virgin Media off-course) to a 100mb plan.
for a few days the internet was very fast, then got worse. (so the difference between 30mb or 100mb is so minimal - maybe non-existent)
we use a Virgin Superhub (1st generation).
download speed, in-game ping and everything else is so bad.
I usually get this DISCONNECTION THING, means there is no internet connection available at all, and the OS says the CONNECTION IS LIMITED. it usually fixes itself after 4~5 minutes.. weird!?
also, I regularly experience 3~6kb/s download speed. especially if im downloading a few things simultaneously.
Connecting to the superhub via http://192.168.0.1/ is almost always very difficult, not responsive and slow as well.

superhub is in the living room.
we have a Netgear Powerline 500 + Wifi connected via a socket in the first floor to extend the wifi coverage.
I use a Wifi PCI card and i also use a BT Powerline Ethernet like this:

i also made 2 videos to show you the in-game network connection lag (spikes): (very short videos)
https://youtu.be/JJuy_EmFDdE (problem at second 12)
https://youtu.be/PHMJbBontZI (problem at second 13)

i play FPS games like Battlefield Hardline, Black Ops 3 on a capable PC and League of Legends.
during the weekends, the internet is the worst. but then during morning weekdays when the majority of people are out there is not much improvement.

i need help. we need help.
when we contact Virgin, they say everythings fine on their end.

any tip, help, advice to make the life easier for us?

many thanx in advance.
