I get this everyday...
I play Cabal Online (german version) www.cabal.de and plusnet wont prioritize the connection to the German version because it's not popular enough
(It is popular, just not in the UK xD)
Anyone have any advice of what I can do to fix this problem?

The only way to get it running better is to go to the pro package where every thing runs at full speed, but it only has 20G allowance during peak

Saying that I should probally switch to the 60GB option (11.49) since I pay 19.99 for 80GB atm

because of the market area you are in the 60gig package would be £17.99 for you I'm afraid.

Have you submitted a Wireshark capture for it?

How unfortunate ^^
Quote from: Barry Have Plusnet actually refused to prioritise the game? That's quite surprising, as they are usually very amenable to doing so.
Have you submitted a Wireshark capture for it?
B.
Yeah, they said something along the lines of:
I am sorry but we are unable to prioritize the connection for this game as it is not popular enough...
But that was several months ago, in my current ticket they asked me for a wireshark capture so maybe this time they will do it.
It's in the silver traffic queue :<
I have another question...
What would give me the best connection? (for gaming)
1: Having my router downstairs and using wireless to my computer upstairs
or
2: feeding the telephone cable from the downstairs socket, up through roof/floor to the router upstairs and then connect the router to my computer via a small Ethernet cable
(Currently using option 2 but don't know if it is the best option)

In answer to your question, neither of those. The best option would be to leave the router in the master socket and run an ethernet cable rather than a telephone extension cable upstairs.

Even if the Ethernet is about 6-7m long?
If so then I guess that's what I will do =o

so i'm running a 5 metre patch cord Ethernet cable from the router downstairs(which is immediately next to BT's master socket)
I'm using the short ADSL telephone cable i got with with router in the box to connect to the bt socket and the patch cable runs to an Ethernet card that came with the PC that is upstairs
and it works fine

Try to get CAT 5e rather than CAT 5.
Edit: The cable I'm using is I think 15m and it's absolutely fine. I have a Netgear FS105 at the far end to allow multiple computers to be connected.
Incidentally I've found there's a major, major problem with the FS105 if you drop it - it makes holes in the carpet.
Edit 2: I've just looked for the spec. - 100m is the maximum for Cat 5e

Yes, I would definitely say that was the best set up.
