[Ryan]

My internet has been cutting out around 10 - 30 seconds for 3 seconds, it doesn't sound much but when I am gaming it is really becoming an issue. If someone could supply me with a answer I will be extremely grateful.

Few Details:
Ethernet CAT5 cable
KIller 2100 NIC
Virgin media - 80Mb/sec
6 devices connected
Superhub

Notice you have Virgin so do I and my internet was dropping all the time and I went to Virgin shop after rang tech help 3 times and at shop put in new sim card and no problem since. Also were updating Towers in my area so switched me to another tower. Not saying this is your problem but worth looking into.

Seems some people can't understand what they are reading, don't know the difference between phone and computer connection, It's not your internet connection that's fine. it's your operating system ((windows)) that causing the intermittent delay, for the 3 second lose very 10 to 30 seconds it's doing other services in the back ground, such has Virus checking, network checking and other services you have running.. There is away round that. if you will except it, stop using windows, It's not the only computer operating system in the world, there are others that are Free faster, stable, secure and far more advanced
