Cable Forum - View Single Post - Superhub Question about DL speed after relocating superhub

Hi, I have 150mb bb and a superhub (the first one). Superhub was located in what is a now converted garage. WiFi signal to the rest of the house was poor. Putting it in modem mode didn't help matters. Homeplugs aren't robust. As far as I recall, I was getting very very fast dl speeds, around the advertised 150mb.

I bought a 2 way cable splitter, and moved the superhub into the living room, next to the TiVo, splitting the signal using said splitter.

As I say, I pay for 150mb bb. I now get typical speeds of 50mb. Now, is this below-advertised speed down to having moved the superhub into the living room? Could Virgin fix this by boosting the signal and/or new superhub? Is moving the superhub actually 'allowed'? Anything I can do myself to improve speed?

Thank you!
