last version I had was 2.65..

that really wasn't long ago, 2.7 was just released recently

In a fews days ago, i have had the same problems : they worked into the cable : repair storm breaks !Egidio.

I have a distribution cable, not adsl !And i am alone onto my street connected to the tv cable : i have the full line for me ! Egidio.

Make sure that cl_updaterate and rate are set properly for your connection speed. Im not sure of good numbers for cable speed but if incorrect this will cause bad lag.
