had a few different computers over the years and nothing has changed significantly, i'm using win7 atm, and vista before..

alleviating as in fixing whatever network setting is throwing artificial lag at my connection that on the surface seems totally fine

same mouse? look at everything starting from your end.

I'm sorry but I worked for Xerox for 27yrs and was heavily involved with the development of Ethernet., It was designed as a medium for fast data transfer - not who could shoot someone faster than another.......rant over.

Try my suggestions.

@pipexer

the netgear router doesn't have a firefall as far as i can tell, or at the very least a setting to turn it off if one exists.

i tried the thinkbroadband monitor months back but i couldn't get it working, i'll get the f8lure monitor and run it over the next 24 hours

@bigbadpirate

not at all mate, i've went through a bunch of mice in the last 5 years, from cheap £3 ones that broke apart in a handful of weeks, to gaming mice that are built to last, most recently is a mionix branded mouse that i bought a week ago

as for the rest of the pc, i've had 3 computers, one was pre- built, the second was selected piece by piece, and the 3rd was as well, each of these had slight upgrades along the way

the only consistent medium would be the internet connection which as i said in a previous posts shows no issues on the surface so i believe there's a setting or a handful of settings somewhere either in windows or in the very coding of these games that is screwing with my connection, or perhaps it's infrastructure related

F8lure will be fine as you also get a 2nd opinion with it. This will at least show-up lag spikes and might save a lot of faffing about. I look forward to viewing the graph tomorrow.

sorry but how do i use F8lure, it's asking for a host so i can create a test? i assumed it was a downloadable program that i could run in the background

What anti-virus and firewall software are you running?

no anti-virus and bog-standard windows firewall

i don't use an anti-virus because i have flashblock and adblock plus in firefox, then have spybot 2 running and updating/re-immunizing every month or so.. i've had this setup for years now on multiple computers and so far it hasn't posed a problem, though i also stay away from dodgy sites
