Just got Virgin Media fitted. I'm in a "Project Lightning" area in Bath so fibre to the premises with a Vector Boostral 611 RFoG converter fitted at the house.

I'm the first in the road to have it go live, but no idea whether the old coax cabled areas in the city historically suffer from congestion or not.

This is my Virgin Media BQM:

And this is BT Infinity VDSL:

Currently the Virgin Media Super Hub 3 is just sat idle. All my connectivity is through the VDSL line. But when I start using it I'll put the TG2492 into modem mode and connect it to my router.

So my question is... For a connection that's just sat idle I'm seeing a lot of latency! Is that just what DOCSIS is like vs VDSL?

I did connect a phone to the WiFi and run a speedtest and the headline speeds seemed fine: 384Mbps / 21.7Mbps.
