ive seen about 5ms to the router on the homeplugs and it sometimes goes up to about 8ms if the network is very busy but yet cs:source reports a 15ms ping to some of the UK servers, since i switched to using homeplugs i hardly ever get any Lag issues playing FPS games and when I do its usally becuase im playing on a US server.

Played the ETQW beta2 the other week for several hours with no problem what so ever


My connection goes though a wired switch then the homeplug to get to the router...
