Nope not me, gaming is great for me online even though I am using the Superhub that a few people claim is terrible for gaming and wireless.

My post said

I am not saying that SOME on here are not having problems but there are those on here who claim EVERYONE will have the problems with gaming and i feel that is wrong.

Which part of my post was not accurate ???

Where have i said there is NO problem at all with gaming ??



Plus is that link not primarily about Consoles, I don't think it refers to PC Blackops which is what i was posting about.

Are yes for instance

Your welcome

I tend to stay out of these threads because there are those who's posts i find stimulating and accurate and are a pleasure to debate with, Then there are those who basically have there foot in the mouth 24/7 and would not know a proper debate if it hit them in the arse


The problem you have here pip is that your for and against debate about this problem is being derailed by one or two because they prefer to just attack anyone who they don't agree with by getting personal.

We are treated the same as any other customer and can and do get traffic managed, but most of us do not get caught out by the times as we know when not to download as it is our job.

The only difference is that I am on a staff package but still had to pay £30 for the 30Mb upgrade which was well worth the money in my eyes.

LMAO

Why is everyone picking out that!! Surely you're all intelligent enough to not think I really believe that is the case.

... we ALL know VM throttle P2P traffic which most games use.

I've been with Telewest/VM for 12 years or so. Do you honestly think I'd be switching if I wasn't having problems?

Interestingly he also mentioned the TV picture is nowhere near as good as his Freeview picture!.

Plenty of things you could have discussed there but you all decide to pick up on a flipant remark, why? because it's something you can defend

Then WHY post it if you do not believe it in the first place ????

Not a flipant remark at all. I have looked at your other posts and they all tend to be aggressive when you are dealing with anyone you think is not on your side IE staff

Still evading any of my points

What would be your take on my colleague getting a VMNG300 ?

When you post something that is valid and worth replying to instead of flipant remarks maybe i will

Reputation or whatever, you can say what you like, click your buttons as if that makes it alright. I did say "typically staff would say the hub is fine"

And based on my calls to tech support that is the response I got.

i am also sure that is the response other people got as well.

The fact still remains their are problems with the hub.

I agree not all users are affected, but some are.

Now please the people commenting that "my hub is fine" unless there is something constructive to say to help people who do have issues then please say nothing at all. That includes any virgin media staff who are being objective and somewhat ignorant to the issue at hand.

Now that may not be you ~Sirus but please if you help then please do.

Knowledge shared within the community especially those that are in somewhat of a position to help is better than not sharing and talking the stupid stance of "well mines is working"

If I posted in a pc hardware section saying my windows 7 kept crashing you wouldnt post back "well mines is working" you would try to help.

So again, what is the basis of the claims that they about to run out, maybe 100mbit orders are really really poor and are less than modems been given out?

Orders from the CEO's office?, I'm not sure you grasp who the CEO's office are.

You sent me a PM with photos of yourself in odd positions ..

If someone posted in the PC hardware section saying their windows 7 kept crashing I would direct them to the software section

However if someone posted saying all Windows 7 machines are crap and are failing, I would say, well mine is fine

Not at all as otherwise it gives the impression to people reading threads such as this one that the Superhub is a complete failure which sorry to say it is not especially when you consider the hundreds of thousands now in use by Virginmedia customers.

The issues that the Superhubs suffers from on the minority of accounts does not affect the majority of Superhubs otherwise we would be overwhelmed with calls.

The issues with firmware have not affected my connection which again sorry to say is fact, I have tried my Superhub with everything ticked and unticked in Services without any detrimental effect on my connection.

At present I only have PPTP and IPSEC ticked plus I have an Edimax router connected in another room as a wireless gateway and I can access both the Superhub and Edimax networks.

As I have already stated if I had an issue then I would be complaining until it was resolved as I am a customer first, but I would not run crying to the CEO's office until I had exhausted all other routes as I would expect better service from them if the correct process is followed.

But strangely enough we have the Superhub haters moaning about posts giving balance to the complaints which is tough as I will continue to state that my connection is working without any issues and has been for the past 3 months.

If you dislike my posts that state my Superhub is working fine well you could always try clicking the report post button in my posts but I know that the team would give such reports short shift as we need balance.

[darkm]

Who is the superhub haters? I like the ideas of the hub when it works.

Likewise it does work for many, glad we agree but it also doenst work for some too. Lets try and resolve the issues instead of scoring stupid points.

I havent cried to the CEO, and im glad your hub does work but can you offer advise on my issue with the limit upload speed?
