Football games unplayable on ps5

Seriously don't bother getting virgin media if you play football games online, it is absolutely shocking how bad it its, 90% of games are totally unplayable.

I have the 1gig fttp which is great for downloading etc, but my ping jumps around like nothing else in online football matches and I either get visible lag or it freezes and then goes crazy fast and out of my control, but my players always seem out of sync with the game not locking onto the ball and just unable to do the simplest of things.

Happens on any football game, at any time of day or night  I get warning for bad ping during matches or really high ping that fluctuates throughout. Warzone/battlefield etc play fine (that i can tell).

Virgin say my setup is fine because my speeds are good and stable, but that's not what gaming is all about.

Honeslty wish I never took the contract out and can't wait until I can change isp.

  • I assume that you are actually on a legacy hybrid coaxial cable connection rather than a Xgs-pon FTTP connection (from your previous posts and hub model) in which case gaming will be inferior to both FTTP and FTTC connections and "rubber banding" a problem regardless of your contracted download speed. Sorry. 

  • I have a hub 5 but have FTTP, I can see the fibre cable and watched the engineer fit it.
