Ping good, connection quality bad
I race cars online regularly with Grand Prix Legends and NASCAR Racing 2003's GTP mod. Currently I'm connected via the 2Mbit ntl:250 modem from the previous tenants, I shall be connecting the new modem with my connection tomorrow, so here's hoping. But at the moment, the connection seems fine, and then in NR2003/GTP the quality spikes so badly it's unraceable! Online with 20 other cars, it's a big problem because I'm a hazard to myself and others, teammates included, and it doesn't go away. The only way to cure it is to restart the computer or exit NR2003 safely and wait to go back in, but if I force it to quit, it locks the computer.

Everything else is fine, browsing the internet works normally, but what the hell could be making this happen? My racing's quite important to me, I'd rather not have to cancel my Virgin broadband and go with ADSL, even though it might be better...
