VesperalMuffin,
Oh my, 8mb Download on DSL. I remember having DSL about 2 decades ago. I could only get about 6mb dl. As soon as cable was available on my road, I dropped my DSL and my ridiculously priced home home. Now I am happy as a lark with super speedy cable and somewhat fast cell service. If you are not able to get better internet service, maybe consider StarLink. $500.00 for equipment, 100 per month and u can have 100mb or better DL. Not sure what you will get with Ping and Jitter but probably MUCH MUCH better than u have now.
