After waiting for a minute the guy answered and said sure sir please wait.

Orcon has interleaving turned off by default (i think)

xtra is just...... *insert cuss word(s) here* useless.

Don't mind I asking, what's this "interleaving" about? What's the problem with having it on or off?

It is used as a error correcting tool.
When gaming it adds latency, which means lag, which means you get hit with the headshot.
