| The wife was uploading over 100 high res pics to her blog and at the some time was streaming some fucking movie to her laptop.......... My apologies to the clan mates that had to endure my complaining last night, especially the new guys. |

| Problem noted. I will have to keep an eye on the wife and kids when I am playing. That may be a problem in my house. Kid is alwasy on his phone running thru my wireless and the missus is watching TV online. |

| I've noticed this before with my wife.
because the PS is hard wired into the router I normally accidentally turn off the wireless connection on it :-/

| You may want to consider putting some QoS (Quality of Service) setting on your router. It allows you to divvy up the bandwidth during high traffic times.

Yeah I know QoS will help, I didn't set it up cause last night was the first time since I got my new router that I had an issue when my wife was online too. |

| My connection was shit all night. Red Bars, lag, Connection Interrupted several times...It seems to come in waves for me. I know I can;t blame Mrs. FBD for last night as she was in bed. |

| I get that problem a lot when I go to my inlaws to play. My sister-in-law downloads movies all the time so I just turn off the wireless until I'm done playing. My wife knows better so no issues at home!
Should hit level 50 on the 15th Prestige tonight....YAAAAAYYY! |

| Tell her to get back in the kitchen and make you a delicious meal. That works well for me. |

| It seems like just about every game I played yesterday had a shitty connection. Sorry clannies for my rage quitting but no connection no play for me. |

| I always try to look at the positive side and I am positive you had a bad connection. Besides half the fun was watching you magically teleport across my screen. If I have a two bar = a neg.kdr you have a two bar= top of the leaderboards. Remember it is better to burn out than fade away! |

| Fireman, we had some good games too. How about that huge DOM comeback on convoy with that OptIc QuIcKsCopEzzzz or whatever the hell his name was! That was an epic match I thought, even with shitty connections. |

| Yeah i didnt have fun with the connections last night either. I can play fine and do well with 3 bars but the game just seemed off last night. I wound up ending my night by quitting mid match after it continued to get worse. |

| I kinda wish it was a percentage rather than the 1 - 4 bars deal. I know especially in the past before I upgraded my connection, I'd have 3 bars but it would be really be hovering around the very bottom of what could be considered 3 bars as I'd sometimes show 2 yellow. Meanwhile if I'm at the very top of 3 bars or just peaking into 4 bars, all is usually good in the games.
I think we'll all be much happier with MW3 at least from a connection standpoint. I've sadly become used to ducking behind cover in my perspective, dying and then seeing in the killcam that I still was in the open. |

| Yeah, the killcams just make it that much worse, basically rub it in your face. Seems whenever you get sniped, the killcam shows the guy was about a foot off. |

| My ingame connection is usually fine, I have a problem joining certain people and again joining a lobby if the same people are in already. Funny thing is I have no problem joining you US guys. |

| I got to watching a game that we played in MWA. This one dude was getting kills over and over. He would camp in the bottom of the center building. One time he was shotting at fireman. He was shooting atleast 3 feet behind him the whole time fireman was running past him and he still got the kill. That was such BS. |

| Lag compensation usandthem. The host's connection records all matches, but when you are watching from the player's perspective it shows what they were shooting at because it compensated the player back to that spot based on the ping and lag from the shooter to the dead guy running. I look at some quickscopes in the theatre and the shot is a good 5 feet away from where it show me, but I still died. Don't understand what I said? Neither did treyarc when they designed this game.
Sometimes the lag is noticable through our mics. I hear "losing B" on mine and then a second later it calls it out thru someone elses. Theoreicallly they should be at the same time? |

| Yeah, I couldn't seem to get in a rhythm, either...Crosshairs seemed to jump more than usual, I could never get that final hitmarker on my target before it got away or killed me, and the times I actually did get somebody it was only for assist credit...
At least I know never to do an RPK contract ever again...I'll stick to what I use best... |
