I'm certain AOL is also a cause of the high ping - however, I cant just discount that everything works more kosher on ME than on XP. But truly, AOL goes through a 3rd party to get me the DSL, where as I could just go through PAC BELL or EARTHLINK which is appearantly more gamer friendly.

in my experience. there are only 2 isps worth going to with dsl

megapath and speakeasy

if you dont want to go through them go direct to your local bell. The service will suck, but itll give you better quality than a discount isp can. Earthlink is garbage, they are getting way to AOL like.
