I went there just now, and got the same usual result: 2026kbps download, and 341kbps upload. That's pretty good isn't it? <br><br>I'm perplexed as to the lousy ping I'm getting again. I'll fire up UT, and see normal ping readings on the server browser under my favourites tab. But as soon as I log on to play someplace, the little red light of doom comes on immediately, and I see that my ping is over 2000. It's happening on both computers, but nevertheless, could it be something in my game that needs tweaking? Or is it more likely that my local cable isp is over subscribed? <p></p><i></i>

Does it only happen on the CG's? Yes your scores were really good. I've seen the ping go up and down for you on the CG's. Does it happen everywhere? Only when you game? Only one kind of game? Only on certain servers? Firewalls? Router? What is your Operating System? 2000 or XP I bet with a score like yours. Give us the info we want or the "Faceless Lady" gets it!<br><br>Hermskii <p></p><i></i>

Only happens when online gaming. Only play UT online though. It's been happening at all the servers. Playing through a linksys router, which makes no difference because I've disconnected it and it didn't help, and I'm using the latest free version of Zone Alarm. Win98SE on the old computer, XP Home Edition on the new. Going online with both computers at the same server at the same time gives the same sad results on both of them. Why is the game affected, but not my surfing or downloading? <p></p><i></i>

My ISP went down last night and stayed down until this morning. Today my pings were ok again, at 5-6 pm. I'll be watching to see if they get crappy again in a couple of hours, when everyone else in the neighbourhood is online too. <p></p><i></i>

Post subject:  The squeaky wheel gets the grease!

I got so pissed off tonight at my 1800-2100 ping during peak hours that I telephoned my cable providers tech support. They admitted that my area is over subscribed, and assured me that they are replacing/upgrading routers and amplifiers and putting in fibre optics and lots of other good stuff as fast as they can. They've been playing catch up for at least three weeks. So hopefully things will improve soon.<br><br>But that doesn't do me any good for the month I've lost. So I asked for a discount. They transferred me over to the billing department and I get next month free. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :hat --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/pimp.gif ALT=":hat"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>The squeaky wheel gets the grease. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :evil --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/devil.gif ALT=":evil"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>At least this company has been very responsive to any complaints I've had, and has worked hard to keep me satisfied.

Way to go nameless!<br><br>Everyone should do that, when they don't get the service they are paying for.<br><br>Ever see the commercial where all the kids in the neighborhood are logging onto their cable internet service? I wouldn't be surprised if a porno pic pops up while you are playing UT! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>
