Sadly (or perhaps not so sadly for me ), I haven't had a terribly unplayable experience since I started gathering data, so there isn't much to compare here yet. I will post an update when that happens.

just find Chris desync video and imagine he is fixed it by wire.

Hey guys, you don't seem to hear me. I'll tell you. The same provider in the neighboring house works perfectly, with the same routes. I'm not even talking about the same provider in another part of the city. They all work perfectly. The problem is only in the place where you are. Stop wasting time on nonsense.

My gaming laptop has the issue in different locations and with different network connections. Across different continents and states.

So it broke in one bad place with bad electricity. Now it will work badly everywhere.
There is no other explanation here. Or an evil spirit has entered it? Or you yourself are charging it with static electricity?
How do you explain to yourself why this happens? Do you have a theory?

TN_fun, are you being serious right now? Is this sarcasm or a joke?
Like... the laptop got infected with electricity? A virus maybe?
Or, as 100WATT said earlier — it suffered a hormonal imbalance?

you are still new to this forum. Yes, bad electricity can charge your devices with something that just won't go away. This applies to iPhones charged in bad places. This applies to computers that return to normal after 15 minutes in a good place. This problem affects both AC and DC devices equally.

What’s next — capacitors catching a virus?
Like one day they start coughing and ask you to take them to the hospital?

Wanna play on pure electricity? Just get a double online converter, bro.
Or better yet — buy two. What's the problem, c'mon.

And yeah, obviously — if there's something wrong with the power, devices can break.
But that's like... 6th grade school physics. Basic electricity 101.

Better to be a newbie who backs things up with theories, explanations, and actual data,
than someone who just says "it feels better here" or "worse over there" — based on vibes, guesses, and zero evidence.
And no — shaky YouTube videos claiming "look how smooth it feels" don’t count as evidence.

IMHO, the issue isn’t "electricity". It’s the fact that we *do* feel real differences in the *same* game,
on the *same* hardware, *within minutes* — and that’s what needs explaining.

And Slender — let me ask you directly:
If I send you 200 bytes of text all at once, and someone else sends you 1000 bytes of text all at once,
who gave you *more* data?
And who gave you *more* information to understand?

Nobody’s paying a scientist to tell them the milk’s gone bad when they can smell it from here.
Sometimes it's easier to switch supplier than argue with existing one.

However bad videos doesn't help. I find them worthless in most cases. There is maybe one video that is close to showing some difference.

absolute right! But there is one more another variant, guess it?
