Nah! I missed so much.

I've worked out the problem. At the time I'm playing other people are using the bandwidth for things like downloading games and watching catch-up TV.

I don't have a massively broad connection, so the other things happening throw off a steady timing.

I probably should get a faster router with decent QOS, ready for the next few years

I just use a cheap £50 TP link one. I've used there gear for BT a lot, and my personal preference for jobs :)
There are a couple on sale on amazon at the moment AC1900 - not sure that is ADSL though. I made that mistake on my last job, router only had a fibre rj45 port  ::)

In France we get the box from the provider. Blazing fast internet for around 50 bucks and TV is included. Cannot ask better. 1 gbps line. How are the rates in UK / Ireland and is there any usage limits? Here everything unlimited and no speed throttle.

I'm at the end of my contract with Virgin Media (Fibre 250Mbps down/25Mbps up), next month it increases to £57 pm.
Plusnet are currently offering 500Mbps down/75Mbps up for £32 pm for new customers, so I'll likely go with them.

There are no download restrictions in place.  Virgin Media have/had a fair usage policy which throttled the bandwidth for a few hours, but you had to really hammer the downloads/torrents to fall foul of this.

I haven't lost my aim.  I never really had one to begin with :)
• Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

 Not bad but is the line optic fiber or ADSL tech [copper wires bring net]? Most people will find the specs you mentioned more than adequate. But netflix 4k does puts a lot of demand :)

I'm fortunate enough to be able to benefit from FTTP (fibre to the premises).
I can opt for superfast fibre at 1000Mbps down, but this is overkill for my needs.

This sound still haunts me...

The first two words my eldest daughter learned to read are:

1. Her name.
2. The word "loading".

Yeah. We had dialup!

If I were recording it would be "Thaw ffs!". Teammates standing doing stombo's just outside thawing range, or walking straight past....

Apologies Piglet, that sounds like something I would do, accidentally. I tried freon after 4 or 5 beers on Friday night, I couldn't hit a thing; much to Somas delight - even managed to record my epic fail on youtube.
