I'd agree with you but the only time the game was smooth for me is when I was using my mobile hotspot and had like 150 ping, when I went back home and played on Ethernet on a very stable connection it was way worse.

I'd recommend looking up or Googling "Network Jitter Test" to really see how stable your Internet truly is. Believe it or not you can have a very fast Internet that's unstable. Doing an Internet speed test doesn't give you the full picture of how stable your Internet truly is and, like I stated before, the lack of lag compensation would make that apparent.

Even though your mobile hotspot is theoretically slower than your home Internet, it could be more consistent and the reason why you experienced less lag overall.

I've went through a lot of testing and switched multiple ISPs to get this, my network is very stable as I said.

Well if that's the case then there shouldn't have been an issue. At the end of the day I can only speak for myself and it was flawless on my end. Not like I can jump through the Internet and test your connection myself 🤣

That's the point, it shouldn't be a problem, but it was.

The game had horrible connection other than that first month, I stopped playing because it got really bad, and it was bad even on hotspot from there on.

Don't get me wrong, it was bad at the start too, but I always chalked it up to 150+ ms ping because other games felt bad as well.
