So high ping in a game and jerky obects aren't lag? What is it then? |
Jitter and loss, like I just said.
Consistent high ping with no jerky objects = lag. Jerky objects with or without high ping = jitter and loss.
Jitter and loss make your ping go all over the place, including high. It is this same all over the place-ness that makes objects jerk all over the place. Not lag. Since you don't actually seem to know what lag is, or the difference between ping, jitter, and loss, I think I'll leave it to someone else to judge if your connection lags or not, based on video evidence.

Upstream and downstream work differently on cable systems, so more often than not, loss, jitter, or latency happens on one without the other.
