Battlefield 3 - Origin on PC

[#1]

Does anyone who plays this game getting lots of lag and generally have a poor gaming experience?
I created a thread on Kitz asking for help and have ran all tests on DSL Stats, Speedtest, Tracert to Servers etc and have just uploaded a short video showing a little bit of what I am facing every day.
If you have the time please have a read and offer any suggestions what I can further do to try and eliminate this problem. I did call PN and they said that they cannot reset my line in an attempt to cure this so maybe it is down to PN routing?

Give your router a reboot    your tracert says your on PCL-AG07 , try this to check http://usertools.plus.net/@gateway/
switching gateway via a soft reboot ,, not a power off.  should get you on a better gateway
For some reasons some PN gateways are bad for BF  i had to gateway hop regular on BF3 also on  BF4
try and see if it gets better

thanks which is a good gateway then? I gave it a reboot and am on ptn-bng02 and it's still bad hit reg
edit - just reading on battlelog that other PN users had the same issues, unfortunately for them leaving PN was the only option. For gaming it's really bad.

Ive never had any issues with bf3/4 in the past .... not sure what it could be, would be a shame for you to have too leave... is there anyone at plusnet that can help this fellow pc gamer ?

I have a mate with PN and he is having the same issue. We're trying to resolve it. Last step for me is to buy a D7000 and pray that it works.

Gateway hoping is a bit hit and miss , just luck of the draw 
but i found removing the PN router  gave me better games    i got the asus  DSL ac68 u a bit pricey but very good

I'm not going to buy new hardware, I'll just change ISP as soon as my contract is up. The sad fact is that I have to endure this for over a year, I will see when my contract ends

Change ISP wont necessary give you a better connection, as they will still be using the same cables/wires you have now

Better gateways, better routing, better traffic management all play a part. I can't even play on a local EU server with 6 people nevermind 64 without getting problems in game.

Just wanted to update as after doing so many tests and asking for advise on various forums like Kitz I found my solution. It might not work for everyone but it did make things much better for me.
I downloaded DPC Latency Monitor and saw that my onboard NIC was spiking very high every couple of seconds. I disabled it and saw that the latency levels were normal. So I reverted back to an older driver instead of the ones from Intel's site and played a game and things were much better.
After that I just did a system refresh as it only takes 15 minutes and starting from a clean O/S is always good.
Anyway problem is solved and atleast now the only problem I will face is netcode related issues that everyone gets anyway.
I'm back in business
