The modem part of the hub communicates with VM's Docsis cable network. This performs fine.

The router part of the hub does the ethernet and wifi routing as well as responding to ICMP (pings) that come from Thinkbroadband.

The flaw that causes the ramping latency effect is in the router part of the hub.

So a BQM might make it look like the VM network is going haywire (and you of course blame VM), even though its really a problem with the hub, because you're running it in router mode. If you ran the hub in modem mode you wouldn't notice the problem, because the router part of the hub is mostly inactive and doesn't cause the problem. So now suddenly you think VM have fixed the network. but neither is true, the network was always the same.



At the point just after you rebooted the SH1 we could see the true picture of your VM network connection, briefly. Your BQM looked just like mine for a while. Which is the statement I made in the first paragraph. Until the hub started to degrade the connection again...

You judge your VM internet connection by how well your:
- Superhub is working
- Powerline is working
- Wifi is working.
- Game is working.

Those four things are independent from your internet and you need to measure them separately.
