@Dade: Are you sure you're playing with South Africans? If you're in an international game you're going to get about 1 second delay.

I used to play some Uncharted 2 online and I usually ended up playing on German hosts. The way the network code you could killed a guy after he killed you. Resulted in many WTFs?!

Ideally your looking for 1ms or sub 1ms latency to your router from your gaming device, although I'm sure the biggest factor in you experiencing consistently horrible lag in this case isn't from the wireless, but from playing in international games.

I'm actually referring specifically to international games. Local games don't produce that lag. In CoD i get 4 green bars in a local game, but 1 red bar in international. Does this mean that i can't avoid that lag even with a hard connection?

[Dade Murphy]

Yeah, my account is unshaped

should be green or yellow latency then for international, which isp?

ive heard they been having international latency problems so could be causing it

 

[Dade Murphy]

Are you sure? It's been like this since i signed up, which is months now.

yep reason why i canceled mine kept getting high latency
