Upload speed and ping is a major part of the lag comp equation. If you could get matched with players with fast connections and you have a slow one, their visuals will be delayed so you can beast out with an advantage.

I have a dedicated gigabit router for my PS3 with OpenWRT installed. The game was unplayable at 50meg download speeds. My upload speed clocks at 3 meg but that is only on large files, and takes a while to build up to that, initially starting around 128k, for small packets during PS3 gaming no doubt upload stays at 128k. With such a high download speed it made me host most games, but with no consideration for my upload speed I would get zero hitmarkers, even when I prefire, such as I hear an enemy coming to a door so I unload my clip mid way through the doorway, while still firing the enemy can still pop out unload his clip and kill me but I get zero hitmarkers on both my screen and no bullets nor damage in the kill cam. Kd was 5/33, typical.

I set my download speed to 500kbps max while in game with upload max of 10000kbps, played again, after 5 more agonizing 1 bullet deaths it finally bumped me from host, my KD went to 30/8 (note this only works in some lobbies since obviously I'm not the only one that knows lag compensation is the only factor that controls whether you live or die, skill is not a factor at all)

The latest fixes have made the game ridulously unfair, all I can do is spawn aim up and hope to find a uav to shoot before a stray bullet kills me, but even the half the time uavs are now invisible, if I lay a sam turrent i can watch the missles go up hit and explode absolutely nothing, and even if the do show up when I ads with the stinger it won't buzz/lock, if I ads in the out on it 2 more times it finally gets detected, but by then it is already zooming off. The same for kills, I must chase the enemy for like 10-30 seconds, wait for him to stand still, then empty a full clip into his back, but often then, after the 1st hit marker he just turns around and kills me anyway, if I push up against his back and knife, It misses 2-3 times, he again hears the knife turns around and kills me, completely unacceptable.

Lag compensation should be removed from the game, instead it should force everybodies upload & dowload speeds to be exactly the same, and stop screwing around with timestamps and hit detection, it is the only way to make the game fair.

ya thats the cheapest i can get unless i go dsl.  which i really dont want to. I just bought new cable modem and router the begining of the year.  Does stream Netflix really make a differance though?

i have no idea, it went that way one day, i realised it was better so left it that way, haha,

it only needs my modem to reboot though and i will be back to having the crap
