Your attainable data rate on the 130 seems much higher than the Smart Hub which leads me to think that g.inp may not be active.. I won't specify a precise model but, yes, the general, majority, opinion is that ZyXEL devices tend to perform best. Of course there are always "corner cases" which will be the exception. For whatever reason, it looks like the DLM has applied a banded profile capping the downstream speed at 74Mb. So nothing you can do will immediately restore the speed, but if you remove the problem, the DLM might eventually remove the banding. Personally I don't think you can get a more reliable modem at the moment on the market than the Vigor 130 in my opinion.

Most ISPs currently use PPPoE connections with the FTTC service and this guide will cover the configuration of that on a DrayTek router with an Ethernet WAN interface. Provides Annex A modem code 572d07 & 570e01, and Annex B modem code 565607 & 567002.Recommended for Netherlands. (G.Vectoring) 3.9.8.4-07vDrayTek's VDSL modems provide reliable DSL connectivity as well as excellent performance and compatibility, designed to comply with Openreach MCT requirements.

DrayTek Vigor 130 VDSL and ADSL2+ Ethernet Modem/Bridge

An important item to note is that for the PPPoE connection a "Service Name" should not be entered. If you have this field in the configuration of the router or computer that you're using then make sure that it is left empty. thanks for the message. My FFTC speed is only around the same as yours, so the 100Mbs on the 130 is still ok, however me being me I like to keep with the latest versions. And you never know PlusNet might increase those speeds one day! Virgin have a 1Gb option with their cable services in my town at the moment, however they are just so unreliable its not worth the risk at the moment. Far Current Attenuation: Upstream Line / Loop attenuation Far SNR Margin: Upstream SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) value in dB Notice the heading, "ATU-R Info (hw: annex A, f/w: annex A/B/C)", is explicitly stating "ATU-R" i.e. the local modem/router. Under that main heading there are two column headings, "Near End" and "Far End". Logically, something has to be incorrect about what is displayed. Some ISPs may use a VLAN tag other than VLAN tag 101, the Vigor 130 is pre-configured to use that VLAN tag on the VDSL2 interface (not ADSL) and so, if the ISP uses a different value, this needs to be changed on the modem.DrayTek modems are designed provide your router with a reliable, consistent, and stable internet connection that aims to reach each corner of your working space. We are constantly testing for increased compatibility, so you can be sure that each DrayTek router is made according to the latest technological advancements.
