How much bandwidth does myth need, really?
Not much, but it needs
latency. Demoted priority traffic is going to slow down or break things. Being disconnected from the lobby suggests something severe.
How can I find out if my isp is using bandwidth shaping?
Read the terms & conditions and FAQs closely and read between the lines. I did a Google search:

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showthrea ... adid=33712
Because i pay for an advertised (and upgraded) amount of bandwidth, not for just "cable".
Yes, but ISPs say they support certain protocols like the web and email, and other things are "unsupported". They also often say you can't "run a server" in their terms & conditions.
The DL and UL speeds are always consistant when I check them.
What with? An online http speed test is irrelevant as those aren't downshaped.
Is it the RAM? THE ISP? THE GRAPHICS CARD? SETTINGS? is there some consensus?
I think it's more likely to be your internet connection than your computer, which would mean either the modem, the line or the ISP. Your computer is pretty fast, remember when Myth II was released people were still buying Pentium MMXs.
