Well, to actually contribute to OP, my roommate was playing Diablo 3 and I was having a chat with him about the internet connection. He was getting dropped packets every now and that would cause all the action to freeze and could cause him to die.
Well, he switched his connection from Wifi to Wired a few weeks back and apparently it was a little bit better. But then, the wired connection also started dropping packets, so the bottleneck was our ISP's service to us.
All in all the wired connection gave him a bit of an upgrade, but the true bottleneck wasn't that. Also, a better wifi router was also something he was meaning to test. Most people who care about this kind of thing actually have good wifi routers.
