Yesterday it was alright, played online games for a good couple of hours and not one freeze. Then just had a 20 minute session and it froze 3 times again. A couple or three times while its been like this since friday, I noticed it froze the moment I pressed the mouse button to fire. Now that is some amzing coincidence or something to do with upstream traffic as far as I can tell. Doubt it is my pc or software as it is this thread is testament to the number of people it affects, and also I've reinstalled windows to try and get rid. Will ring cs in the morning. What really annoys me is that we are no nearer knowing what the hell is causing this in the first place, and why does it magically fix itself? To me this is looking very much like the service in my area is becomming oversubscribed. Well whats the point even having the service if it can't be used for what I want most, which is online games. Losing hope here.
