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

Someone giving an opinion based on their own experiences with VM and another fibre provider has nothing to do with agreeing with me. More people having similar experiences however tends to give weight to what is being said, no matter what the topic. It just so happens that this topic is about gaming lag, in which VM compare poorly to other fibre providers.
From personal experience, I would agree more with the qualifications Chrys has advised.

In our house, currently, the FPS gamnig experience is better on VM XXL than on BT Infinity 80/20. The lag on my Infinity circuit is twice that of VM - possibly due to the aluminium run to the FTTC box. Whatever is causing the poor SNR margin - nothing we do improves that.

Is there a trick to try?

Is that PC CPU usage? And is it down to other process running at the same time?

Queuing theory tells me that there is a long service queue which may well show up as latency. But that's theory not knowing what's actually happening on your CPU or indeed what that CPU is.
