No FPS gaming possible

[MontyTheAverage]

I still believe that a problem with the ISP can be clearly identified and measured.







I can't make anything visible/measurable here. YES, DAMN IT, it feels like an ISP problem, but why can't I see it? Can't measure it? Can't prove it? WTF?

Look man, I already went down this rabbit hole. I really don't think it is ISP problem. You are just gonna end up on a dead end and waste more money changing something. Here, have changed ISPs 3 times, diffrent routers/modems, mobile hotspot and bunch of other things. Not much difference. And get this, problem exists different locations across continents. Same issues. Different ISPs and network infrastructures.

I live in one of the most developed urban centers in the world. I use a very advanced and sophisticated ISP (it already had FTTH in 2007), but there is still no improvement. Changing ISP, modem, and router did not help.

Listen to this dude...he has much experience already and knows what he tell and gone through...

On this Forum there many guys who can tell you something that you dont know before...

The thing is, it really feels like an internet problem. But then it should be verifiable. I can run speed tests, packet loss tests, ping plotters, etc. all day, but the problem isn't visible. 15ms ping. 1-2ms jitter. Others play with 100ms and have no problems. They get 100 kills per round. No lag.

My neighbor has a VDSL 250 from O2. Same problems in "The Finals" and "Escape from Tarkov." Always lagging. Always desyncing (it feels like it). Previously, 1&1, then Telekom, then O2. Never a change. Always terrible.

That's why you shouldn't be mad at the people who shout "ISP." It really feels that way.

In my case the problems started after changing ADSL to FTTH so yes the ISP is the culprit in many cases

Can you measure it? Or is it just a coincidence that one game isn't working, but everything else is perfect?

A funny thing happened yesterday.

It was running terribly again. Then I changed something in the system, and suddenly it was running so well. It was running perfectly. I wanted to wait a bit longer before telling you. After 9 p.m., it slowly got worse and worse until it was terrible again. It wasn't running well because of my changes. It was a coincidence. I was just lucky that the internet wasn't under much load for once.

It seems like the load is simply too high here. Too many people. Maybe the system starts bundling packets at a certain load?

New Fritzbox (since yesterday) + better results + same terrible experience

Yeah but it only works if you never done that before

Thats our curse but also its a lead i believe

Friends... I've literally tried everything.

Here's a short list:

1.) Switched from DOCSIS internet (1GB / Vodafone) to VDSL internet (250 Mbps / Telekom) = ping dropped from ~12ms to 5ms, but gaming was still terrible
2.) Bought the Asus DSL-AX82U = Still terrible
3.) Tried Windows 10, Windows 10 ReviOS, Windows 11, and Windows 11 ReviOS = Still terrible
4.) Tried every conceivable tweak = Still terrible (if it was good once, it was still terrible without tweaks)
5.) Switched back to DOCSIS internet (1GB / Vodafone) = Still terrible
6.) AMD 7800X3D + Asus B650 + DDR5 = Still terrible
7.) AMD 9800X3D + Asus B650 + DDR5 = Still terrible
8.) Stock BIOS = Still terrible
9.) BIOS OC = Still terrible
10.) Smartphone as a router (USB) = From good to terrible
11.) Asus router connected to Fritzbox = Still terrible
12.) Router restart = Still terrible
13.) Disable Wi-Fi = Still terrible
14.) 3x FritzBox 6690 Cable = Still terrible
15.) 1x FritzBox 6670 Cable = Wait and see (but I think terrible)
16.) NordVPN = Terrible
17.) Exit lag = Sometimes good, sometimes terrible (if good = good without)

My problem:

1.) VDSL line belongs to Telekom. No matter the provider = Always Telekom infrastructure (terrible)
2.) DOCSIS line belongs to Vodafone. No matter the provider = Always Vodafone infrastructure (terrible)
3.) No third line available from other providers
4.) 4G/5G is always overloaded, according to people here
5.) Rented apartment

I don't need snake oil. I need a solution.

Try running off-grid . Inverter and dc batteries.

And which country are you in ?

I noticed something, but I'm not 100% sure if it's directly related to my gaming problem.

When I get killed, I notice two things:

1.) I'm lying there and I see the enemies. They're moving completely normally.

2.) I'm lying there and I see the enemies. They're "trembling" and their movements are slightly stuttering.

If point 1, then: Good hitreg.

If point 2, then: Broken hitreg.
