Re: Online gaming issues
 

I was having very bad ping spikes when I was playing
counter strike on uk2 and all other servers.

The pings were spiking to 2000+ for arround, 3 weeks
then things got sorted.

I play on 2 Digifrag servers with 2 different clans, on both gameplay is friggin awful, and has been for months for most of us ntl dudes. Now the guy who owns digifrag [or digilagg] always blames it on NTL as its never his servers. ;). Quite a few of us are on ntl, and 2 of us get horrendous bumps right on hop 10.
Now from what i can see its left NTLs network by then?
True or false anyone?

Re: Online gaming issues
 

I would assume True.

Re: Online gaming issues
 

If you're a serious gamer I would get a NIC card put in, and stop using the USB connection. Get a decent NIC like 3com with onboard processor, and it will take the networking work off the cpu.

They're also alot more reliable, and usually faster, and are dirt cheap.

Re: Online gaming issues
 

I,d go along with that, I ditched the usb the same day for the same reasons. ;)

Nope - My guess is it is simple over subscribed network in my area (which is not what I would call a fault)


Well - I will ring back, and if they can't give me a date, then I will escalate, and then move to ADSL if I'm not happy
