Hub 3 / hitron does have jitter issues which when in certain areas and equipment setups and congestion of some sort comes into play can make playing games which are latency sensitive (not just FPS games) unplayable.
I have business 350 which is great for throughput.
But I prefer to use my FTTC line for pretty much no jitter and alot lower latency.
I would suggest the OP only goes to the Hub 3 if he wants a higher package than 200mbit.

Just to ask as an avid FPS gamer what games are you playing?

I am an avid first person shooter and a really poor loser so I would be at the front of the line complaining if the shub3 affected my gaming performance in any way and it really doesn't. Yes my TBB graph sucks and looks awful but it doesn't affect anything I do and the ping I get when I do speed tests is mint.
To provide a balanced argument for you consider this: there are/were a tonne of people in the VM forum moaning their asses off about this saying it was ruining their gaming lives so VM recently released an update purporting to fix this issue. A member of this forum (cableforum) who works for VM and it is a networking god said that the update is a joke and doesn't actually fix the problem, it just fakes the result and makes it looks like the latency issue isn't there. Despite this, now all the moaners on the VM forum are hailing it as a miracle and the amazing difference it has made to their connection when in actual fact it hasn't done anything at all.
I honestly believe the majority people believe there is an issue because they want to and it isn't actually there. Those that do have an issue will probably be suffering from congestion and attributing it to the shub3 because the graph is a problem they can see.
