Are the following statements true in any way shape or form? I read on a reddit page that a user was getting the latency variation symbol on bf4 because his mobile phone was connected to his modem the same time as playing bf4 and it affected the WiFi? Another user on the same reddit post said using power line adapter can reduce the high latency issues he was having? Im tempted to get one for the future because I know having the console/pc hooked up by ethernet cable is more stable than WiFi.

To what degree is dependent on your bandwidth, what % of it is currently being used and the bandwidth usage of the device. Phones, even when you’re not directly using them transmit and receive data constantly. Powerline adapters do work. Model performances vary as do their throughput and connection type. ---

Just wanted to test a few things. Last night on Sinai (20ms ping) I was bursting dudes. HS first shot every time if I allowed the decrease to lower spread. It took 4+ hs to drop a fool at roughly 25m. It was sad sad sad. All he had showing was his prone head. Burp tink, Burp tink, Burp tink, Burp tink Oh and I have crap for unlocks. ---

Thanks for this post Rev. Your knowledge here and in the hit detection post has helped me very much. I get up around 4 am for work and by the end of the day working out/walking the dog etc, I’m usually too tired to play so instead I’m up very early Saturday morning to play. Thing is the servers are usually filled with very high ping players and then weird things happen. But when the server has just one or two of these high ping players the gameplay seems much better for the most part. Why ?
