SH3 Question
I am currently on the first Superhub and on a 100MB plan.
I have 0 issues with my internet at all expect having to restart my router every 3-4 days to stop lag in games which works all the time. My area was upgraded a while ago and I am able to get a 150MB package for free now but it requires the SH3. I am wondering if there are still issues with the SH3 and play games or if that is a thing of the past. Also anyone have any idea why I am required to restart my router every couple of days? I can be playing a game like Rocket League and it will rubber-band around sometimes than I can restart my router and I wont get it anymore for another few days. |
Re: SH3 Question
There are still latency issues caused by the Intel chipset. Some US providers are rolling out firmware updates which improve performance but don't fix it entirely.
In addition a new serious vulnerability has just been discovered: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/0...rivial_to_dos/ |

Your SH1 is awful, the SH3 is much better. |

Outside of that, the latest flaw found in the puma architecture if left unfixed, could mean a lot worse than anything the Hub 1 brought. |

The VM forum is full of irate gamers complaining about latency issues and trying to get a SH2AC instead. |

The recently fixed DNS part of the problem, (again not yet patched for us on VM), is certainly something that was noticeable in every day usage, but the TCP and UDP traffic is still at fault. |
Re: SH3 Question
anyone have any idea what would cause me to have to restart my SH1 router every few days to stop it lagging?

Re: SH3 Question
it appears to get worse based on how many downstream channels you have. If all 24 channels are used the latency spikes are massive. With only 8 or 10 channels the latency is much less (but still worse than the SH2).
I note another exploit has been discovered on DSLreports which enables the attacker to remotely reboot the modem. I hope future hubs don't feature any Intel hardware. |

I've had Virgin since 2012 and have never had issues with my SH1. 95%+ of the time I have had the full speed that I pay for and very very stable ping in multiple games. The only issue I have is the past few months where I am having to restart my router. I am only asking about SH3 as there is a huge thread on the VM forums about it being rubbish for gaming and gaming online is something that is important for me when it comes to internet and stability.

I have 8 Downstream channels on my SH1 would there be more with a SH3? |

If the Hub actually doesn't have latency issues which impact performance you have to wonder why there's a firmware update being rolled out in the US which reduces latency (surely no need?), plus legal action against Arris and Netgear for continuing to sell modems powered by the Puma 6. |
