Woohoo woohoo DSL BACK

[gxavier]

From anywhere in 10 minutes to 2 hours, I shall shift from the temporary 256kbps connection Ive been "using" to a steady static ip 1mbps dsl connection!!!! THANK GOD. Now I can get those pings back down to 30.

Bastard!!!

I wish I could get a DSL line like that but when I ask the local co-op, they tell me "its up to 1.5MBps" Then I say "no....it should be a set amount of bandwidth...like 256/512/1MBps etc..." then they say "well we really don't know" and then I say "Bye...I'm sticking with cable until you know what you are talking about." and then I leave.

I hate stupid salespeople.

[gxavier]

lol. Yeah. Dsl really goes up to like 7mbps. And you can get each stage up to there. I use qwest. Their website explains everything.

I hated Qwest when I was out in New Mexico. They bought out US West and they went down hill from there.

[gxavier]

Qwest was bad for like a month. I bought it during that time. I used to lose connectivity once every 2 hours for about 5 minutes at a time. It was nasty....but I haven't had a single disconnect in over 8 months, and the only interrupts I would get is when I get a new dynamic ip every 3 weeks.

Qwest is a great company to go with now. And its not even Qwest that im signed up with anymore. Once your above 564/640kbps, its really USWEST.

I would get lower in Quake3 based games.... Im talking Halflife based. In HL games like CS or DOD, anything lower than 25 is sitting next to the server.

i got 17 ping when i was playing TFC


MWAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHH

[gxavier]

Thats impossible. Especially with TFC which hasn't been graced with the newest of Netcode. Playing a LAN game in TFC will only get you pings of 11-30. With more than 1 person.

I get pings of 0 and 1 when playing Quake3. Maybe being plugged into the same 100Mbit switch as the server has something to do with it though......

[gxavier]

lol...with pings of 0, its kinda hard to miss with the railgun, eh?

lol.

i have everyone who has dsl. i thought i was getting it for a while but i think that's fallen through. i need cash.

Welcome back to the DSL ranks, gxavier.

I used to run an PCI DSL modem at 1.5 Mbps. I switched to external w/ router and now I get as high as 10Mbps at times. Modem was exp though $160USD.
