I have TWC Extreme package internet:

37 down
6 up
26 ms ping average

Currently, I am having issues that no one can seem to resolve regarding warping/rubber banding in all online games I play: CSGO, TF2, Rocket League, Chivalry, etc etc. It's only for a second at a time but occurs several times within all games across all servers. TWC hasn't found anything wrong with my connection, I've updated the ethernet port drivers and have a new ethernet cable on the way.

TWC forums are telling me to get rid of my Motorola SurfBoard SBG6580, which I've only had for 8 months and was fine up until January 12 or so when this warping started. Even the tech said a new modem and router might not resolve my issues.

I have some T3 errors (that keep overwriting themselves in the log) - but only overwrite after I set the channel to a specific channel and don't leave it on auto. If I leave it auto, I see ALL T3 errors, but the WiFi interference bounces from channel 1-6-11 constantly.

What happens if you use a wired connection ?

I am NOT a fan of modem/router combo units. Routers have advanced MUCH faster than modems. TWC will have a list of approved modems. Get one appropriate for you Extreme package. Then you can get ANY router.
