Went from a lag free experience with Verizon FiOS to Optimum's gigabit plan (moved houses). Connection speeds are still great and I’m even wired to my router this time -- but Shadow is barely functional. Screen resolution us super choppy and everything just lags.

I like using https://www.testufo.com/ (selecting the “Compare Frame Rates: Video Game Motion”) for assessing stream performance, as it’s a simple way to generate “activity” without launching a game.
Can you provide a screenshot of your Quick Menu (WIN+ALT+O) while running the test in fullscreen? It will look like this:

Here it is. Definitely not getting anything above 6mbps. I tried running Shadow from my work PC (slower internet and via wifi) and it worked perfectly fine.

Yeah, that’s definitely wonky...it’s hard to tell what’s going on there.
If you restrict the bitrate to something very low (say 1 or 5 Mbps) does the performance become more stable? It’ll be crappy [visual] quality, but good to know if it smooths out.

Yea, lowered it to 5 Mbps and the quality took a dump and became even less stable.

It might help to run ping plotter for 300 seconds to see if there is something funny about going on with your route……
