I thought that might be the case, I guess my next option is maybe a router with traffic shaping, Been looking at a D-link DSL-2640 router that has a traffic shaping option.

Traffic shaping is still QoS so I don't think it will help you I'm afraid.

So you are saying your connection isn't laggy itself but when others join with a bad connection and lag you are affected by the compensator is that right?

Yes, I never get a lag free game, My ping is 20ms, 22mbps sync down / 1.3mbps up, I can switch fastpath on and get 24mbps and ping down to 10ms, Theres no problem with my line, When host in any cod game its bad, Far worse than when i'm not host.

And how does www.pingtest.net look?

I have exactly the same problem. Contrary to BT's adverts, FTTC doesn't necessarily give you a better gaming experience. Certainly not on the consoles anyway. Choosing your own server without matchmaking and not playing in parties would help. Sadly not an option on COD, Battlefield etc.

I have a 9ms ping. When not hosting, it isn't a great experience to be honest. But as restarts says, when hosting, 90% of the time it is unplayable.
.

Try mercenary team death match on cod if you haven't already. The lack of parties being allowed slightly improves the matchmaking, but on 10ms ping you are fighting a losing battle I think.

Are you on a fibre connection?
.

You will be able to pick what server you play with the new Battlefield game.as EA have confirmed there will be a server browser even on consoles.

Is your console the only device on the network, the homehub doesn't have QoS inbuilt

Spot on that, like I say I think its the game (bad coding) not your router or connection
