Did you try swapping out the cable? Switching ISPs could be a solution, but I'd give a go to just ruling out your own cable (which is easy) PC (also not hard) and then calling them first to see what they say rather than going whole hog and switching ISPs over what may or may not be their network problem.

Since packets getting lost cross that cable, and having a bad one can cause these symptoms, it's worth taking that cable out of your pc and modem and plugging in another. Awards

I've been talking to two of my coworkers in the UK. My local IT manager I'd never heard swear until he extolled the virtues of having your home office connecting to the internet via Virgin. Problem at this stage is you've got a pretty good piece of diagnostic info to show them pointing to it being their problem, but you now have to get them to swallow it. Awards

You are spending way too much time troubleshooting something that is incomplete, broken and bugged. I ran packet captures on the Performance Test and there are no missed ACKs even though the test tells me my packet loss is bad. This is complete BS. Something is wrong with their packet loss detection in the software. I broke the UDP packets down to HEX and streamed them. The Performance Test piggy backs its performance check to UDP packets that are already being used for the game. Something tells me that there is a bad equation in the mix, or their server end isn't breaking down the UDP packets, that contain the test, efficiently. Wouldn't worry about this Sonovabitch. Not until BF4's issues that are plaguing everyone, are fixed. Once we get there, it would be worth a second look. Trying to troubleshoot something that is already broken is nearly impossible and usually ends up in making matters worse.

I hear you m8 but it only seems to be happening to me, i'm not hearing of other clan members having this problem, surely if it was just down to the game not running right this would be happening to lots of others too?....but yes when BF3 came out this sort of thing was happening, not packet loss but frikken lag all the time, sometimes it felt like i was bouncing off invisible rubber walls, it took months for BF3 to run ok for me, just pisses me off all the money i spent again on this, it's really putting me off buying anymore, been back playing BF3 this week and it runs fucking great wouldn't you know it.
