Hi all,
I just moved to another city and on Speedtest my ping is 18 and download mbps roughly 15-17. In game ping varies but can often be around 40.
However, when I play, the game rubber bands and lags so much that it's unplayable. I shoot an enemy and it registers nothing and the next second they're way off in another direction.
ANy idea what is going on and how to fix it please chaps?
Just moved from 95mpbs but surely the speeds I mentioned shouldn't be this bad?

Cable or wifi?
Screenshot/short video of your net graph while playing?
And yeah, your download speed isnt the issue

Sounds a lot like you're experiencing packet loss, which is something I unfortunately have to deal with on a daily basis. (Cogeco sucks)
It's either your local connection, or the server that you're connecting to. If you experience this issue on multiple servers, try giving your internet provider a call, and ask if they're aware of any kind of congestion for your area. Packet loss is usually caused by congestion, though it can also be caused by a number of other factors, including your router or modem.
Congestion could also explain your slower internet speed, especially if you're supposed to be getting a faster speed.

Any chance you can test it on ethernet and see if that makes the problem disappear? A lot of people, myself included get unplayable lag on wifi. Ethernet fixes the issue

Thanks Sidular (and Sentinel), I'll see if I can contact the ISP.

Err unfortunately not until maybe Sunday, when I can go back to my parents home and get the super long ethernet cable.

just for reference, here's what it looks like when i'm playing on wifi (worst case scenario)
ignore my low fps and the fact that i have no idea how to record, that was literally my first time using xsplit

Post results after doing that
you will see the ping spikes, the packet loss or whatever instead of just "feeling" it while you play

I used to play on a powerline adapter too and had the exact same issues. Since ive switched to using a lan cable i get overall higher up and download speed, ping and the rubber banding and timing out completely dissapeared. It might be a hassle to set up the lan cable if your pc is far away from your router, but its 100% worth it.

Back home I did use a cable (I had fibre optic anyway but still). But I have just moved into a shared house which could make it tricky to have a long cable run along the floor to my room.
I'll have to persuade the housemates to upgrade. It just seems odd because the ping and speeds mentioned above surely shouldn't mean the game runs online this badly.
