I just wanted to add a "me too".  Strangely enough, I started playing
some UT2004 again (after a 6 month absence) on the weekend and
immediately noticed horrendous lag/jitter.  It was really bad on the
weekend but was a fair bit better yesterday and today.

It wasn't just a jitter issue -- Shaw was dropping packets all over the
place too, based on my ping tests.

I use cricket for traffic monitoring and it's pretty clear packet loss
and latency went to hell in the past week.  The graphs represent traffic
between 2 Shaw Extreme modems, one in Chazwood, one on Regent.

Let us know how it goes with Shaw... the "Extreme" service is supposed
to be FOR gamers and is advertised as having low latency, etc.
