Not sure if this is the right forum but it's to do with gaming.
Any of the gamers in here have Virgin media broadband. I currently have SKY fibre and average 32mbs download.
The problem i have is my son is always playing online gaming and my wife likes to watch the tennis which is streamed on Prime TV. I get sweet FA
When they are both using the broadband at the same time it affects my sons gaming making it lag badly.
I'm looking at Virgin broadband as their basic is 200mbs but have read that their Hub is poor and keeps dropping out when gaming so obviously that is no good.
Something to do with latency, whatever that is, i don't know. I have installed my own Billion 8900 modem/router on my SKY broadband and would use this if OK.
I have heard that you can use your own router to overcome the problem on Virgin.
Can anyone give me some advice or information of your experience using Virgin or if you can use your router, to help me make a decision.
Many thanks..
