Re: Questions about gaming lag, virgin & infinity...

Also on a side note, if things don't improve I may switch to bt infinity when its available here. Does anybody here use infinity, how does it compare for gaming?

If I had infinity installed can I have the line split so that it enters my property in 2 different places, so that I could have the phone and hub in 2 different rooms, like I have now with virgin or would this have to be done internaly with extensions or something?

Thanks guys, any advice will be greatly appreciated.
If you post a tracert to a couple of the Black Ops servers you are using, some of us on the higher tier products could run the same trace so you can see if what you are currently getting can be bettered? It may also show if your current line has problems. Do you have a Thinkbroadband Ping monitor running? If you do, can your share this as this should add more information.

As you are on the 20M product, this may mean you are on the legacy part of VM's network (for the local segment) so this could mean you can get a better quality product line if you upgraded to 30M but this is risky, people have found it can get worse
