It’s going to be one of those things that wildly vary for many people in many different areas.
I was with them for years and had no issues gaming or running a media server from it.
All providers have a ~2 weeks cooling off period where you can cancel for whatever reason you like. A lot (if not all) now tell you what speeds you’re likely to get and if it drops below a certain threshold this also gets you out or your contract.
Tl;Dr. Sign up and see. Cancel if it doesn’t meet your requirements and move onto the next provider.
It’s using Hub 4 with 1000mb on LAN but getting 500mb on Wi-Fi. Was streaming Disney plus at the time on Apple TV. Use a lot of steaming too. Not bad and use it to work from home using work VPN.
That’s disappointing you only get half over wifi, I know wifi isn’t perfect and a lot can affect this but seems quite a significant loss unless you’ve an old mobile conducting the test.
500mb over wifi is good! I have an 800mb connection on community fibre with a Linksys Velo, on most devices I get about 180mps down /150mbs up on wifi.
That’s still much faster than any single device is likely to need though. It’s enough to stream comfortably in 8k with a lot of headroom left for background data for example. The only reason you want something like 500mb+ is because you have a lot of devices that all might be streaming simultaneously - the more important test is to have a lot of things running and then see if it slows.
I’m familiar of what needs what to perform at its best (probably 50meg max for pretty much anything stream/gaming) anything more is good for downloading files faster or additional capacity for more devices.
Just seems odd to not get the higher speed delivered to mobile or even close. 50% speed delivered over wifi seems weak. Most likely down to equipment.
Never had any complaints about Virgin, have been a customer for the past ten years, with very few outages that none really stick in my mind as particularly serious.
