Re: superhub 2

In their defence, that is actually the process for checking that a dead modem (or hub) is actually dead. It wouldn't be the first time that a dodgy plug socket was the real culprit. If they happen to be getting monitored and they DON'T do those checks, they'll get in trouble with their quality officer.

In our defence, we don't like the implication most of us are too dumb to try that ourselves.

Re: superhub 2

I wish I could say that the majority of people who phone in are intelligent enough to try that first. I really do.

A 10dB forward path attenuator is needed.

Re: superhub 2

you beat me to it dude. Even if the tech does fit a 3db attenuator (which he hopefully won't), there is nothing to stop you from taking it off and putting your own 10gb attenuator on it.

Re: superhub 2

When my upstream was high I posted on the VM community board and they arranged for an engineer visit to fix it. The only time I ever phone is if I'm on the cadge for a discount and then I talk to retentions.

I think it was fixed when they did a pass through the cabs as a bit of routine as it's now around 50.

We are not engineers we are technicians
And the difference between and engineer and a technician

An engineer can work, rework and modify stuff out for himself

A technician is someone that takes advice and orders from someone else

Re: superhub 2

I had the Superhub 2 installed last week. Unfortunately the technician left before I could get him to sort out the wireless speed on my ipad 3. My ipad only gets 40mb max on wireless even though I have a 120mb.

Is there anything I can do to get the full speed on it?

(On my Samsung Galaxy III, I get 63mb d/l and 15mb(?) u/l)

Re: superhub 2

Sounds like a limitation of your iPad. Most mobile devices can't handle the full 120Mbit.

EDIT: yup, it's a hardware limitation:

As with most smartphone/tablet designs the BCM4330 only supports a single spatial stream, for a maximum link speed of 72Mbps.

40mbit is actually incredibly impressive.

As the above poster has said, it is a wifi limitation, it's the same on the Iphone but yes 40mb is very impressive, i get 35 if i'm lucky although i can't for the life of me think why you would need more than 40mb on an ipad
