I have been using AS for several years.....but hardly ever post here. It sure seems lately like the snipes are getting earlier and earlier. I lost auctions back before Christmas do to 60 seconds early set at 8. It was a Sunday night. I had two separate auctions tonight snipe at 30 seconds before and set at 8. I had a couple last week and they were in the normal 2-3 seconds longer than my setting. I am starting to wonder if AS isn't triggering earlier due to higher usage of AS and worry of their servers being a gate to snipe entry. I have broadband, and Sunday or otherwise frequently manually bid 6-8 seconds before auction end using broadband service from cable and have never missed a bid taking yet. 2-3 years ago I never saw AS bidding early, it was always spot on or no more than 1 second off.....now it seems about 10% of my AS bids are early.....
