Wireless problem when connecting to online games

Hi, need to pick your brains guys.

I didn't think I'd have such a problem being on 50MB and with the laptop connected wirelessly to the SHub only being one thin wall away.

Every time I connect to an online game, if anyone's using the laptop, it's unable to buffer videos or load web pages. It's still enabled, but it's as though the connection is being choked, but surely an old game such as CoD 1 can't be the culprit? I always make sure anything that could be sponging the upload bandwidth like p2p or Spotify is closed before going on a game, just to rule that out.

I never had this problem when I was with BE, and that router was at a further distance, which leaves me to believe either I haven't applied the correct settings, or the Superhub totally contradicts it's title, and from what I've been reading on this forum, probably the latter.

I've disabled any services in advanced settings that may be causing it, firewall etc, changed 802.11 mode from 300 to 145 (read somewhere on here it may prevent "wireless disconnects/reconnects under heavy loads") and selected Channel 11 instead of Auto.

Have I missed something or is this what people are having to put up with?
