Well I, like many of you experience LAG, but although there are thousands of explanations (all over the web). I have been troubleshooting this thing for months. I have been through 2 routers, 2 modems, maybe I need a new PS3! I have the older bulkier one.

According to Speedtest.net, I have a "B" rating 63 ping, 1.6 upload, and 17 mps download. I have Roadrunner (Brighthouse) as my ISP. The jitter rating was 6 and the packet loss "could not be done" for unknown reasons.

Its getting old playing games going 1 and 10, or 3 and 11. Used to be about 1 for 1 for the longest time. So I had my buddy come over and he is about a 2 for 1 kdr guy. He went 0 and 8 a couple of times.

Nothing like firing a whole magazine into someone while aiming down the sight, in their back, only to have them turn around while I reload and get shot and killed with one burst. I try to camp, (which I hate) in order to compensate, but it still doesn't work. On the killcam, there is about 2.5 seconds of delay; on my end I am already aiming down the sight and fire on the unsuspecting foe. His replay has him walk around the corner, sight me up, fire a short burst and keep rolling.

Brand new CAT6 cables replaced the constant kick outs but nothing can help this? I searched the forums and all the responses seem to have no solution. I concluded that Brighthouse sucks, and they have a contract locking all of us poor city residents to only their crappy services.

So I decided to fly this thread up the flagpole and see who salutes. Should I just replace the PS3? Its the only variable I haven't attempted yet.

Try a new ISP.

Poor line quality most likely. Give your ISP a ring, and they'll send someone out to take a look.

If you've replaced all your hardware (except your PS3 and frankly that's not likely to be the issue), it's got to be your ISP.

yea i would have to agree... its your ISP

Well no! It's not your ISP it's your connection. There is a difference, a "B" spec line won't do well on data intensive games like MW2, you need an "A" spec line (speedtest spec), packet loss is a big issue. It's probably due to "noise" on an old copper line. Are you plugged in or are you wireless internet?
