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.

That’s a standard BQM graph for a Hub 3 that hasn’t got the latest .608 firmware. Once the Hub has the latest firmware pushed to it, it’ll “fix” the graph and make it look more reasonable. But it’ll still have more “jitter” compared to your VDSL BQM.
