Yeah homealone, I can see your predicament or should that be my/our (gamer) predicament.
I can't get my head round what's happening either. I don't know the best way to show what's happening regarding the game experience, save you coming round to my house and seeing for yourself
All I can really say, and that seems to be becoming more the case is the gamer experience is not as good as it was.. say this time last year.
I'm having a hard time trying to get over some solid evidence, suffice to say that a "problem" is apparent to a lot of users. That problem seems to translate as packet loss, although technically that may not be what is actually happening. FPS games are very time critical and we pick up on the slightest glitch very easily, even more so when it's a prolonged spike.
