    Steam, green gaming man, epic, etc. Gay stuff maybe, I don’t think I’ve tried that but for single payer, I’ve seen no hurricane lag unless maybe I use WiFi instead of ethernet.

    What cat is your ethernet cable?

    The latency added by a Cat 6 cable itself is imperceptible, typically adding only about 0.5 microseconds (0.0005 ms) over a full 100-metre run. For comparison, electricity travels through the cable at roughly 200 million metres per second, meaning it would take a cable over 100 miles long just to add 1 millisecond of “ping”.

    So cat6 which a lot of people use some new imperceptible. Maybe there’s an issue else where on your network

      It could well be the rendering step on my PC. Maybe the router is a bit old too. I can’t remember whether cat 5 or 6 but as you say it’s unlikely to be the cable in isolation. It was playing Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
