Depends how they are queuing things, they might be traffic shaping to try and control the usage of some things, with the symptom that your gaming traffic is suffering being dropped rather than delayed.

Ask the techie bods if they are aware of anything - packet loss on a leased line is quite a serious matter and I'd expect it to be fixed VERY quickly.

So could be your PC I guess as well - have you asked anyone else if they have this issue? My money is still on network congestion showing as packet loss because of traffic shaping or another bit of equipment on the network that's very busy and dropping packets.
