I got the superhub and therefore my internet download speed went from up to 20mb to up to 60mb. Although on speed test sites there isn't much difference, I have notice I am the host a lot more in Modern Warfare 3 online games on the ps3.

I had thought being the host would be an advantage but I have now seen a drastic decline in my online performance for MW3 and I couldn't understand why until I learned about "lag compensation".

This video explains it perfectly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJOpFCCnv0E

I would imagine a lot of Virgin users may have this issue due to us having relatively fast internet speeds, and therefore hosting more games - generally this gives an advantage in games but not MW3.

The guy in the video (and in his notes) mentioned adding a 250ms delay fixed the issue for him, does anyone know what you do to add a delay in the superhub settings? Or any other fix that would work?

I noticed this video for Superhub users but am hoping something simpler exists seeing as I use netflix, and laptop etc online which I don't want to affect. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ragvlNK_zRY

Notes: Lag compensation - MW3 issue affecting hosts (usually the best connection), different from normal Lag for those with slow connections.

Thanks!
