Figures.

 

Now that I set up my steering wheel properly and was 4th at qualifying my connection collapsed under the weight of my gigantic ping. Might be time to look into switching providers angry

In reply to Piguin :

Having a poor connection isn't fun...  I went through it earlier this year... major glitching and got dumped off the server in a couple of races.  My problem turned out to be a seriously degraded cable from outside into the house.  My provider ended up replacing it for free, and I haven't had any major connection problems since.  Point is to check everything, 'cause the problem might not be what you think.

Yeah, that wasn't fun. And timing sucked, since I managed a decent time without having driven there before today. Was looking forward to not being afraid that I'd spun out and cost one of you guys your points. Hope I didn't crash on anyone as I was teleporting, since I could see you blinking in and out all over the place.

Currently the issue is that I am on Verizon's 5G home internet or whatever, which means that there can be huge fluctuations depending on signal, which is way more variable than it should be considering the 'modem' is in a set position, or network load - either on Verizon as a whole or through the antenna I am using.

I did spend a day with an extension cord moving the receiver all over the house to find the best reception with speed tests. At this point I think I need to look for another solution, even if there are no practical issues in normal use or streaming besides a very occasional quality fluctuation.
