Can anyone recommend a good program to check for packet loss?
I'm on 10mbit Virgin Media.
Whenever I'm playing a FPS game (1.6 and CSS) my game always feels "laggy", I can't tell if it's the server or the connection. Generally it's worse if I deathmatch I get so much choke. My brother is probably torrenting, and has spyware on his PC which would probably be affecting it too. But even in the past when he hasn't been downloading I've still had a lot of choke on deathmatch servers.
I wanted to get my own line but it's probably too expensive to get a whole new BT line installed + line rental. Any ideas or tweaks I could do?
