You have been online for about 20 minutes and you are so in the zone tonight, you can't miss. You are looking at one of your best scores ever and then it happens, you lag...
It could have been the net, it could have been the game server, more frequently than not, it is something local, like your wife / sister / brother / parents / kids downloading something while you are playing, and it affects your game.
Why does this happen when you have all of that bandwidth? Simple fact is, uplink performance is the gamer’s best friend, yet worst enemy. Did I mention it wasn't getting any better? Not only are gamers needing the uplink bandwidth, but all of these VoIP (Voice over IP) carriers are now competing as well, and we know we want the voice to overshadow that download of the Black Eyed Peas latest Video!
