Thx for the replies/help - appreciated each, thx.
I tried playing Cold War tonight after seeing the 160ms latency on Modern Warfare. I went to play two games of Zombies with a mate, both games dumped us out 20 minutes in due to network errors. Just abysmal.
I'm going to run the thinkbroadband test on my network as kindly suggested and see if this arms me with something. I find it hard to believe that we can be locked into contracts for 18 months on the basis of speed, without regard to latency. I am been with Virgin for many years, last year I was getting 25ms on Modern Warfare with friends, now it is 160ms. Last year we played the additional modes in that game and until recently were doing the same in Cold War, now we're getting booted. If you can't game, how is this meeting the requirements of a service?
I'll see what happens with that test.
My night is heading towards bog standard TV and a few cans of Guinness lol
