hi, im hoping that some1 here can help me because ntl have told me there is nothing they are planning to do to resolve my issue, because gaming is not 1 of their priorities
I have recently upgraded to the 1 mb service , and use my broadband
service to play multi-player online fps games
my problem only seems to occur at the weekends, or late in the evening.
the problem being, when i connect to the game server, i am unable to play,
due to a poor connection between myself and the server. i get on-screen
messages saying connection timeout, and observe massive spikes on the in
game lagometer. this is the same no matter what server i try to connect to
(always uk servers), and i have tried various servers all giving me the
same problem. At "less busy times" i have no problems connecting and playing on these servers. it seems to be a simple bandwidth issue but im hoping mibbe some1 has another idea?
i play quake 3 ctfs on various jolt and savage servers
i only have 1 pc, use windows xp, i live in johnstone, i dont use a firewall.
i have tried re-booting my modem when this problem occurs, and it makes no difference.
i have e-mailed and telephoned ntl technical support many times, every time to be told they cannot help
any help will be appreciated
