I'm getting horrible latency spikes playing BF3 this morning 24/02/12
Much more of this and I'm off, since mostly all I use my connection for is gaming.  Paying £5 extra a month for Pro is a joke right now.

JamesM:  That's mental.
There is obviously no way for a speedtest to realistically come back with those speeds.  This suggests there is something either wrong with speedtest .net,  or you got something odd happening with your computer telling the speedtest that it has finished the test before it should.  Are you getting exactly the same on the btspeedtest?
Another thought, are you on wireless for those tests?  Could you be connecting to someone elses wireless by mistake who has a much faster speed?

Re: Strange gaming since elected to switch to unlimited

Sorry mate, I should have put the fix here too, kaspersky was upsetting speedtest.net. Gaming is exactly the same though. I would say up until early December I would top my sides leader board, and that would be even if I joined halfway through a map. Then it all seems to have gone belly up since.
