I've had 1.1Gbps all day not noticed any slowdowns.
You can't access the Samknows speed test in Modem mode as a FYI.

Be interesting to see how the ASA view advertising a 1gig service whilst providing hardware that can't actually deliver that wired though.

They've not had an issue with any of the Gigabit providers so far in the exact same position. I'm not aware of anyone shipping SFP or 2.5GigE on their routers. I know Gigaclear ships a combined ONT/Modem unit but many have seperate ONTs and Modems so are in an even worse position than Virgin (If we can call losing 40-60Mbits out of over 1000 "worse").
If everything in the stack is syncing at 1 Gigabit speed I can't see them getting too concerned about overhead that everyone experiences.
Besides; it's not like the hardware isn't capable. The second you put a second ethernet cable or a wifi device on there you'll get the full 1.1-1.2.
Installed at 10am:
The increased latency around 4 is from me doing a bunch of load testing elsewhere. All in all very happy with it. Getting full speed, web browsing noticeably faster and I'll be able to work 3 times as quick as I did before (when working from home in Bioinformatics I'm downloading 100GB+ whole human genome sequences multiple times a day, so even though there's only me and the Husband in the house this will make a huge impact!
If anyone's interested in the line stats:
Interestingly, the following message comes up in the network log upon every bootup:
Code:
RNG-RSP CCAP Commanded Power in Excess of 6 dB Below the Value Corresponding to the Top of the DRW;CM-MAC=e4:57:40:07:8f:50;CMTS-MAC=5c:83:8f:dc:66:3d;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.1;
But I've seen people post the same on the VM forums as well and not had a single T3/4 all day so not too concerned.

My ASUS AC68U won't go that high on its 1 Gbps port. So I'll have to do something about that as a matter of principle!

My areas always had full speed as well. I put it down to being a completely new deployment so FTTP/RFoG combined with not oversubscribed yet.
In terms of getting full speed.....not much you can do if you want modem mode no way you'll get more than ~940-980Mbps (although the speed tests do often blip over 1Gbps when I tested it with a single cable).
What I've done is dual-NAT the thing with 2 ethernet cables from my Unifi router to the Virgin. I only ever do manual port forwarding anyway so it's not a huge issue.
Then you can either RR-Lb on the router side or segregate the network. Doing RR-Lb works well for me. You'll still hit the limit on 1 single connection but most use cases these days initiate multiple connections anyway.
Web browsing was immediately noticeably faster for me. Latency ever so slightly reduced as well.
