Do I count it as DSL if it's DSL but goes at 14MB/s?

What kind of DSL are you using?

:eek: :frown: :mad: :eek: :redface: :cool: :lol: :tongue: :wink: - What do you want to feel today? :)

1800 down 128 up, attbroadband cable.

Reply to Matisaro

i think 14MBytes/s is an (typo) error.

DSL can support downstream bandwith of up to 8 Mbits/s
& upstream bandwith to 1.5 Mbits/s (even VDSL supports 52 Mbits/s downstream).

i believe in fact your speed is something like 140KB/s which corresponds to around
1.2 Mbits/s ?

if its right, you can choice xDSL.

Hehe, odd isn't it, but my downloads are at 14MB/s, and for instance, I dl a 52 mb file which finished in under 4 seconds....

IMO, i think you are trying to be a dandy guy & this is a toxic hoax. hehe.

No, it lasts throughout the entire download, but doesn't happen on every download.

Cable with just 192 kbit/s down and 64 kbit/s up, to slow to play Quake 3 :frown: .

Reply to svol

i think the bottleneck its the 64 kbit/s up but 8KB/s, its not sufficient for quake ? weird.


<i>if <b>you know</b> <font color=white>you don't know<font color=black>, the way could be more easy ...<font color=red>

Reply to labdog

That's plenty to play quake, I played with a friggin 56k, I would typically get owned, but late at night when the traffic was low I could get some decent fragging in.

Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.

Reply to Pettytheft

Ok, you <i>can</i> play it but I got a ping of 200 so when I fire a rocket you can see the lagg... but it is cool to play sometimes.

<b>THGC:</b> before: :frown: :eek: , after: :smile: :cool: .

Reply to svol

you havent another quake server more efficient ?


<i>if <b>you know</b> <font color=white>you don't know<font color=black>, the way could be more easy ...<font color=red>

Reply to labdog

How do you mean? I don't have another Internet connection and I don't run a server myself, I just connect with one.
BTW I have the same problem with Soldier Of Fortune.

<b>THGC:</b> before: :frown: :eek: , after: :smile: :cool: .

Reply to svol

i dont know exactly how this stuff works but whatsoever you have to connect to a server to use your online game, no ?


<i>if <b>you know</b> <font color=white>you don't know<font color=black>, the way could be more easy ...<font color=red>

Reply to labdog

Yes, you have to connect ot the one that is serving the game.

<b>THGC:</b> before: :frown: :eek: , after: :smile: :cool: .

Reply to svol

ok, then have you another server more efficient to connect to instead of this one which is too slow ?


<i>if <b>you know</b> <font color=white>you don't know<font color=black>, the way could be more easy ...<font color=red>

Reply to labdog

I always try to connect with a fast server, even with a server with a low ping my ping is high and I get some lagg.

Reply to svol

"a server with a low ping my ping is high"

hmm, i think i have missed something here ?!?

Reply to labdog

I believe he means that even on low latency servers, his latency is still too high.

He's on 56K! That explains all!

Reply to svol

well, did you try it at different hours (/days?) ?
maybe there is a bottleneck around your game schedule ?


<i>if <b>you know</b> <font color=white>you don't know<font color=black>, the way could be more easy ...<font color=red>

Reply to labdog

I don't play it often but I did play it on different days and hours, but with our internetconnection the speed doesn't vary much through a day.

<b>THGC:</b> before: :frown: :eek: , after: :smile: :cool: .

Reply to svol

well, how did you find your online games servers through internet ?
maybe you could find some servers more geographically proximately ?
(this could involve a ping improvement)


<i>if <b>you know</b> <font color=white>you don't know<font color=black>, the way could be more easy ...<font color=red>

Reply to labdog

Quake automatically search the entire Quake network for servers and sorts them by ping and founding time. They can't be sorted by location.

I use a messenger pigeon, Its just too slow. I'm gonna have to upgrade to a falcon soon. :lol:
