How it effects my game (quake 3 arena example). Here; C=Connection, S=Server. I don't quite understand how this process works in real time, and especially because i receive the same results on every server, regardless of location and provider. However other people i have played against do the same test and results come back with good values. Concluding that it's definately a problem with virgin media.

I've had this problem for 3-4 years now, with it worse at some times of the year.... but alas i do not pay the god damn bill and the parents are adamant that they do not care for the poor service they have consistantly received (to put it politely). As a player of online FPS games, this really stresses the hell out of me, it's perfectly fine for uploading and downloading.. however it's got to the point where i cannot find opponents in games because they whine 24/7 about my "warp" (teleportation from x to y). Yet for me, the game looks fine... however some shots do not register due to this ridiculous ping range which therefore not only ruins other users internet experience, but also my own as it's not fun aiming my ironsight at somebody only for the bullet to do nothing, or emptying a full clip at a player but only 66.66666666% of that actually doing anything due to the ping differences constantly changing the true position of said opponent.
Do not doubt that i havn't contacted virgin media, because i have and they never come back with anything. Even their top technical guy suggested i move ISP but quite frankly, despite how funny that is coming from one of their own employees, is not an option until i move out (which isn't for a short while yet!).
Essentially it has completely ruined my gaming experience, and quite frankly i'm also fed up of the abuse childish 13 year olds give me when i play against them too, it's going to turn me into one of those parents who will not let their children play any kind of computer game in fear that they would replicate the game in real life, or alternatively it's going to put me in a padded room.

So can anybody help? I'm in Leicestershire (Loughborough to be specific), and on the 20mb package. I really need some good leverage to use against whatever clueless assistant they decide to put on the other side of the phone next time, perhaps what will clear my own case is the following sentance;
"By now, i must have had 3 pcs, with 3 different network cards, in 3 different locations, using 3 different cables, on 4 different modems and with 3 different packages on 1 same provider, yet i still suffer from this problem."
Thanks
