^ this. I quit trying to play online games when travelling. Couldn't handle the lag. And if it's a competative game: good luck. 😥

Going to bump this, the last few hotels ive been at in have had some legit wireless, mixture of Hilton and Marriott. Ran afk macros in an mmo for an entire week whilst at the client and no disconnects. Also had a wired connection at a residence inn and had less than 20 ping in a bf1 server. Evidently things have changed, location makes a difference though.

They’re awful. That lag *literally* kills me...

I'm a light sleeper who cares too much about the people around me, but I've got a flight to London next Friday from 7pm NYC time to 7am UK time, and I'd really like to master sleeping on a plane just this once and not be in jet lag hell for the entire day after I land. I'll be in premium economy in an aisle seat. I usually take melatonin before bed and sleep on my side. Does anyone have suggestions for an OTC sleeping pill or pillow that actually works, or other advice for sleeping on a plane?
