So I've installed Windows 10 to dabble a bit and check out what freesync and HDR look like. I cannot play any multiplayer games, my ping constantly spikes from 120 to 999 in any online game, this is every 5 seconds or so putting me in a constant state of rubber banding. I can do normal things like youtube, though playback feels sluggish if I move the slider around or load a new window. I'm not prevented from watching videos though nor downloading large files with reasonable speed.
I've been messing with this all day, following a few steps from the internet such as disabling shared updates or whatever. The only thing that works is booting back into Windows 7 ( Dual boot, same machine ) and Voila, magically I have bandwidth and smooth gaming again.
I've gamed for the last 5-6 years now on a wireless connection through a cheap TP Link nano USB adapter, 800 hrs of BF3, 600 of BF4, 600 in Rocket League, some fortnite recently and a handful of others and I've never had an issue with ping, nor have I once played wired in ( can't anyway ).
Think if I call Microsoft and beg real hard they might let me have use of some of my bandwidth? You know, when they're done with it for all their stupid background apps.
