NAT 2 is normal, and very high bandwidth is the best you can have. That's odd... was your network being used by other computers or devices at the time? Have you been experiencing similar problems in other online lobbies? Was it fine at some point since the last patch? If it's a recent problem, then maybe it's just your ISP that is being unreliable.
I don't game online much so I couldn't say how I fare on other games honestly (most of the times It was fine with KZ3 tho), but I never had any problems with lag on GTNRL races/practices before. And no, I was solo on my network and had the whole bandw for the race.
Although I should point out that I've never been able to play a lagless race joining the online lobby in random rooms, it's always been awful there for me and that's the reason I stick with only GTNRL or racing friends for GT5's online. Bummer.
The other day I was also disconnected twice from my own room while practicing for the race tho. 2 out of 2 in the span of 10 minutes.
Maybe I should check with my ISP as you suggest.
Thanks a lot for the reply!
Just as we're here, eheh, can I ask you if by any means the lag could have also make it that my car behaved differently on the race or is that very hard to believe? Because I might have had a couple of beers yesterday but I swear to god it seemed like my car was heavier than a tank, it was terrible to handle and I felt like there was a huge delay between me pushing the pedals and the car actually braking/accelerating!
