I am on Sky Broadband with the newest router. Anyone know how I can reduce this lag? Your CPU and/or RAM has nothing to do with network latency. That is down to a multitude of things mostly out of your control. However if you can hardwire to your router, that may reduce a small amout of latency, but we are talking milliseconds. I hate to tell you though, 8Gb of RAM is tiny these days. 64Gb is fairly standard for something considered powerful, but your hard drive, CPU and GPU also play a part in performance. Run a Windows Experience score and see what you get. Anything below 8 is pretty lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should get an email confirming your purchase but you don’t get a discount code. You pay a tenner for away games and if you have completed your purchase properly then you will be able to log on and get access tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That USED to be true a few years ago but isn't any longer The brand new Macbook Air comes shipped with 8Gb of RAM and is pretty much the fastest laptop on the planet Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtawnyowl Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) I applied for an Ifollow match pass for the Swansea game not realising that it was scheduled to be televised on Sky Sports. Does anyone know, will I still have £10 deducted from my ST credit balance if I don't apply the code number, when I receive it, to activate the Ifollow match pass.
