![]() Your speeds might look fine and dandy, but your ping jitter and packet loss will say otherwise (in most cases that I’ve seen). Oh and don’t think using a VPN will save you either, most ISPs and backbones have started deprioritizing VPN traffic packets, especially if they sense it’s a bunch of small packets with high transmission rates (online gaming bandwidth). I went through this a few years back with Spectrum and it took them over a year to fix the packet loss issues on an 元 backbone. There isn’t really much you can do other than complain and get others to complain with you. ![]() ![]() Lots of ISPs cheap out on peak hour premiums and almost all of the ISPs don’t really care about gaming traffic since it’s such a smaller percentage of the overall throughput. The backbones have all kinds of QoS-like rules for traffic priorities, not to mention, people can pay them for higher priorities. They tend to prioritize traffic for things like streaming. ISPs don’t like game traffic due to it being a ton of small packets, sent in/out rapidly which screws with server buffers. But either way, this would be something you work with CenturyLink on resolving since they pay Level3 to route their traffic.
