Thats an extra frame or 2 of delay, thats enough to start to see it for sure.

depending on the engine and if its fps bound or not, could be a fair few extra shots too..

I agree. The difference between a team with an average 10ms - 30ms ping and another team with a 60ms - 80ms ping can change the entire game. That's my experience with intense shooters like Battlefield 1942/2 and CounterStrike: Source anyway.

I would suggest perhaps setting up static IP addresses between all the flatmates and limiting the problem flatmate if your router allows.
