WoT has been on console for five years now, during which time players have routinely been told "It's not us, it's your internet connection" whenever something goes wrong. I wonder though, what quality internet connection do most of us actually have? Take a test and post your ping and download results in the poll.

My dislike of +/- 1 pales in comparison to my hatred of Loaded Dice.

Let's be honest it's standard company procedure to shift blame to the ISP. They take on the least responsibility for flaws that way and occasionally they are correct.
WG gets a bad rep because the kinds of things they have told people is an ISP issue are almost comically outlandish in some instances. Once you say something on the internet prepare for it to never go away, that also applies to companies.
MOEs so I can pretend like they matter

You forgot the "I'm old and dont know what these other answers mean" option.
I only mention that because I'm old and don't know what those other answers mean. Where do you find the information?
Nevermind, I just used the link to check.

Is that good, bad or as average as my wn8?

And this is actually the most important factor, as i had several services going perfectly while Live going completely bananas.
However, being things as they are, where the players with the best connection actually are pulling ones with worse connection (somebody heard about implemented lag compensators in-game?), actually better results are bad. Not like years before where the good connections were actually somehow OP.

What a poll, I get 8mbps on a good day, today it's 6.7 mbps. This is far faster than this game need so why have first option at 0-50 mbps? Superfast is defined as over 24 Mbps, In the UK less than 1% can get more than 80 Mbps.
This game runs well enough on 0.2 Mbps as that's what I used to get when using a hotspot. It's latency and packet loss that are going to muck you up not raw speed.

My brother has the same thing. He is often asking me where he is exactly and if he’s still moving.

His sounds worse than mine lol but I totally understand. I've 3 marked a few vehicles so I can manage to play, although I still get heckled over my hit % cause I fire continuously if there is any doubt at all.

Line of sight microwave links aren't as bad as they used to be.
For what it's worth, i'm running a billion BIPAC 5100 ADSL1 modem which is so dated and old(circa 2004) that if I used it as a router, it would lock up every few minutes so I have a separate router performing that and perfomring the PPOE(or maybe PPOA) functionality - I can't remember which it's using and it's also performing the hardware firewall functionality. I end up with 7500kbit/758/kbit connection which at random times through the day drops out and needs restarting. At the other end, there's copper telephone cabling which dates back to the 80s and my telephone exchange a couple of kms down the road. I have thought about putting my XBOX in the DMZ since that would boost performance a bit but really don't know how susceptible to intrusion it might be.

That all sounds terrible but I don't understand most of it. I'm guessing nobody is interested in hacking your xbox.
