Re: Questions about gaming lag, virgin & infinity...
It's a second line for gaming that I pay roughly £120 a quarter for, so it's a luxury, but not so much of a luxury that it's worth the extra money, if you see what I mean
We're going on 120 meg shortly, unless the missus can persuade them to put an extra line in for me, I won't hold my breath on that though.

Been thinking of upgrading to the 30 meg package deal but if it's my PC where the problem lies there's no point until I sort it out.
Pushing your CPU that far on a Windows machine where any task or driver could suddenly spike is just asking for trouble, let alone trying to use it over the internet. 98% CPU utilisation is just asking for lag.
