I'm port forwarded correctly, cat 5 cabled to a reasonably new router(no updates available yet), I'm on 30Mbps cable connection(I actually get 38Mbps), I've even had British Telecom check my line. I know that there are other things to consider like latency and levels of traffic , but my experience in PvP is a near permanent gross lag any time night or day. I have my end set up as good as it gets. My friends are on as much as me and my friend list is full, but because I play later in the day usually, most of my friends are not online when I play earlier in the day. I do not like LFG sites. Thanks for the advice though maybe someone else will benefit from it.
