the greatest server for 56k is the iron fist battle players with ping lower than 120 get kicked it rocks swordfight:

I really feel sorry for those people who have DSL and still only get over 100 ping.

I used to get lower pings than that on an ISDN 64k line.

Lowest ping I've seen on my ADSL is 10 or so. The advantages of living in a very small country.

Having said that, I get 90-150 ping on a lot of US servers and I am an entire ocean away.

What's up with your ISPs over there?

Yeah, it's bullshit. Playing on a U.S. server with people overseas, they had better ping than me. I even lag connecting to the cyber-cafe which is only 7 blocks away from my house...MSN DSL is retarded...We have a stupid contract which is up next week though. What's a good, cheap, reliable cable service?

When I used to run 56k back in the day, I averaged a ping 200 - 250. Wasn't that bad but still became an annoyance. Since then I have gotten DSL for $40 a month and my average ping is exactly at 50. Definently worth the money. biggrin:

i sometimes usually get lower pings with my 128k cable compared to my clan who all have 600k cable or above, my ping averages around 20 on UK servers, 80 on US server, theres are around 40 on UK and 120 on US, lol the funny thing is they pay £25+ for their cable and i only pay £15 a month lol biggrin:

Oh, almost forgot. My line runs at 1.1meg Download and 384k Upload. Thats why I get 50 ping on any server. Though on some servers, if I am lucky, it can drop down to 25 or so, but that doesn't happen often.

I would love to get DSL, but im a mile too far from service.

oOo: confusing fuck oOo:

Anyways, you guys are getting some pretty horrible pings for DSL. You all pay like $40-50 a month? I have Earthlink dail-up, and my ping is usually around 150-275.

To the original poster, lots of people are good 56K players. I'm not so bad myself. :D I'm getting cable in a week. To tell you the truth, I don't know how much the ping makes a difference, because I've never played the game on a very low ping before. But, I do know that if you're on 56K, it will be much harder for you to use like the typical "single-shot" weapons, like the sniper rifle or the normal rifles. I'm not saying it will be impossible, but just harder. On "bullet sprayers" like the MG and the SMG, it shouldn't make that big of a deal.

I'll reply again once I get cable. Then we'll be able to see... evil:

Where me and a few others in this forum live we Have Roadrunner. Its great they loan you a modem so you dont have to buy them. Reliable service, fast,great tech help (not like EA oOo: ).
