Yeh i'm lucky i can still play to some level, however the issue now is that people simply refuse to play against me, that and they throw lots of abuse at me when the game starts if they didn't realise (i.e. i stood still until the game started so they didn't see the teleporting, and so they decide to throw every naughty word out of the sun at me and quit, or just leave their pc and i'm sat there like a lemon and have to leave myself). So it's more the issue of being unable to play due to reasons i cannot help.

It does seems to be student (traffic) related to some degree though, i'm a university student myself but i'm not on the uni network. However, when the students return to the area it seem to be worse, which is also what one engineer they sent out suggested that it could potentially be, but he didn't know. He said line upgrades where going to happen, which passed, however nothing got better. Being exam period right now and seeing the library packed full of people on the computers i can only assume it has something to do with traffic load. However there are some nights at 3-4am where it is just as bad which leads me to beleive that the effect is just amplified depending on the different time and day of the year. But i just don't know, support always says current line load is fine.

Primary games i play are;

-Quake 3 Arena
-Quake Live

However, people also notice my teleporting in Call of Duty aswell. I've tried dropping rates to between 3000 and 25000 as requested by the technies from virgin but to no benefits. I'm at a loss. Firewall is off/everything required is allowed.
