Bye bye lag

Ive never really had problems lagging. My PC is pretty new still and extremely powerful, as is the graphics card. I always play on max settings and can have fun water battles problem free (providing the other players do also!).

Now, it just so happens that I decided to check my ISP homepage(something I havent done in like huh...........a year). It just so happens that urs truly has been running a ADSL connection at 8MB and been paying €24.70 with unlimited downloads. Never had a problem with them, speed, bandwidth, stability or otherwise. So Im blessed to find that since the 25th of Nov (ie not 2 long ago) they updated their prices and services. Soooooooo 2 cut a long story short da 3vil D3ntist will now run a whopping 24MB connection and pay €24.00 for it. The PORTUGUESE techie (ie non indian!!!) promised it would kick in in no less than 10 working days.

Wººt wººt.

What kind of prices are yall dealing with and what kind of speeds are yall cranking out? I bet Im still very expensive compared to non 3rd world countries.

out

PS that same teechie said that in practical terms instead of getting a max download speed of 650kb/s Ishould be cranking out a MINimum of 2MB/s. Does that sound right 2 all u pros? Will it allow me 2 download stuff whilst I play AoEIII?

I am incredibly jealous. Apparently the uni internet connection is meant to be one of the best in Britain, yet I still sometimes touch the yellow ping bar.......

Cool I hope it works out for ya. Though who knows if ESO is gonna detect this powerful new broadband and stop you connecting to everyone just for the hell of it. I mean theres no reason at all why it should do that but it hasn't stopped it buggering up other people...

well i got DSL 6000 with fastpath from arcor (germany), and i can tell that the pings of my internet are better than those huge bandwidth ones (because on sucha high bandwidth they don't use fastpath)

however, i don't see why somebody would need such a high downloadrate, maximum 16000 is that what i consider as max what one could need.

we have very cheap internet too, which cost like 24€ a month, but these suck.
mine costs 33€ a month, flatrate, so no limits and i can call every one on their phone for free at any time :) + you can chose 3 countries to which you pay lesser than usual if you phone them
