Hello All,

I’m doing a bit of research into how Online Gamers enjoy their multi user games.  I understand (from this forum) that there is a problem with ‘lag’ sometimes over a slow or congested broadband connection, and that if the ‘ping rate’ drops below a certain time span the enjoyment of the game play can really suffer.  I also understand that there are some routers which try to combat this problem. 

I’m trying to gauge how much of a problem this lag is, and to what extent Gamers would go to fix it.    For example if there was an easily available package from your ISP which guaranteed your gaming ‘traffic’ would get top priority to ensure seamless game play, would you be prepared to pay a little extra for your service.  If so, how much a month would seem reasonable? 

I’m *not* trying to sell you anything, nor do I work for an ISP, just investigating whether there is a demand for something like this….

Many thanks in advance for opinions!
