Re: latency (Ping )

Web traffic http on port 80 and https on port 443. Without these you would have no web access.

You don’t have explicit rules defined to allow that traffic, that’s the point of NAT what’s goes outbound is permitted inbound by default

Carrier grade firewalls such as juniper/PA but you don’t need to do this at home

Crazy stuff

I think these request for ports 53 (DNS) 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS) come about from "XBox Live". If you read the posts on the VM Help Forums, lots of people are getting angry that they can't forward these ports on the Hub's ....
At least that's my understanding, as I've always used Modem mode and my own Routers.

I have port-forwarded on my router for Battlefield 5 (PC) This make no difference to latency or the number of times my son's lose connection with EA servers. You can't make a purse out of a sow's ear. VM is no good for gaming because of high latency and jitter. My kids can't wait for Vodaphone FTTP to arrive in our street. It's rolling out in Coventry.

Yup and will in turn bring with it its own set of problems which will take 2 years to fix.

Perhaps DOCSIS 3.1 will fix some of this.

Re: latency (Ping )

from the sounds of that (10gbps per channel and god knows how many bonded channels) they should easily be able to offer 1gbit/100mbits as the launching tier for the product and they are going to want to do it for the wow factor. Advertising a 1gbit connection is going to sound amazing plus offering 100mbits up is finally going to give them the push they need to get ahead of Openreach/fttc where they have been behind for so many years.

I have had a chat with Vodaphone reps regarding the roll out of FTTP in Coventry. They say the top speed offered to normal residents will be a symmetrical 900Mb. A headline grabbing 1Gb from VM might do the trick if they want to hang on to customers in places like Coventry. However, unless DOCSIS 3.1 can significantly improve latency, folk like me, will opt for Vodaphone's offering. We would have to do without Virgin TV, but there are enough alternatives without resorting to Murdoch's Sky!

I have also spoken to Councillor Richard Brown in Coventry. He has been the key driver of the Vodaphone / City Fibre initiative here, but is also driving the city's bid to receive full coverage of 5G asap. Ironically, 5G has the potential, security issues notwithstanding, to make cable, twisted pair, fibre and modems obsolete, ushering in 'the internet of things'. Such is the potential bandwidth and efficiency of delivery, that 5G may become the service of choice for most people more quickly than envisaged so far...

... or maybe not.

Slightly off topic, but we dumped Virgin TV several months ago, and can't say I've missed any of it. We now have a Humax Freeview recorder instead, along with a Now TV box for the odd movie. In fairness however, we don't watch a lot of TV.
