FYI for anyone following this thread the interleaving change didn't help much, although I did notice this evening that a file download (appeared to - it was a quick test) creates less latency increase vs. a YouTube video (takes a 40-50ms ping to 100-150ms for the file download, and 400-500ms for a video). I think traffic shaping might be my enemy, but that's just a guess.

I think this is a traffic shaping problem.

The traffic shaping problem would be that your games don't seem to be getting prioritised above the other traffic. Traffic shaping isn't your enemy, if it was working correctly it would be preventing the problem.

TO answer your question, have a read of: http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,113085.msg971625.html#msg971625
Point 3) on that list was set far too high. This means that when we were QoSing your traffic, we were still sending too much traffic down your line. Therefore some of your gaming traffic was being dropped before it hit your router!
