dude


i'm a complete idiot, but maybe i can help

i know some dsl connections are shaped, which means p2p and things like battlenet suffer a massive loss in bandwidth. my friend has shaped dsl, and cannot even connect on winmx, kazaa, etc.

i am not sure f this could be your problem, but it's a possibility.

Yo buddy, I think I can offer some help. I had the same 2+ lag problem. I'm using Sympatico High Speed 3Mbps and it lagged like hell where there were more than 2 people in games and I got dropped in every game. The solution is setting up a PPPOE connection!

TRY this out first. If it doesn't work you can come back we'll talk about it later. Good luck!
