    I read in some other threads/forums that eircom lines (and I assume others) have bad latency on them. Maybe these tools will show you if you have potential issues? Heres my results to the Dublin server - I don't often have major issues with lag, but if I'm in a game where my link drops to 1 or 2 bars, I just leave and join a new game - normally solves the issue.

    Post your results if they seem bad?

    EDIT: Actually some above already posted about this - http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=63210815&postcount=29

    Is NTL supposed to be any better for gaming than Eircom? I'll be switching at the end of the month to their 10mb package with tv stuff so would be useful to know what to expect!

    i was with ntl when i lived in town(galway),i was on nat 2,and could host games no problem,moved out and went to eircom,finally got nat 2 with neotopia router, but when i try to host a game in MW2 it says strict (its only hosting thats strict not the connection). I think it is to do with the router as i have tried everything,but it automatically worked with ntl,they use netgear router. But not saying its gonna work for you.My friend got a BT router for his eircom broadband and after serious work,is now able to host. I'm thinking about getting that 10mb ntl package too
