    Okay, by the title it's obvious what this post is about......
    This summer, I will still have access to the college T1, but everyone KNOWS how bad it has been since about Christmas.
    I am considering getting a phone line into the house I am moving into over the summer.

    In the Limerick area, does anyone know which ISP's are best??
    What sort of pings am I gonna get??
    I will play on anything SOLID below 150 ping.
    PL up to 8%.

    So can someone throw up a few suggestions?
    as to ISP's and modems, and costs etc.

    Spanks in advance.
    Jay.

    indilow for ireland and Iol for uk games. Pace modem obviously smile.gif
    You'll have to dial dub for a decent ping, you'll probably get 130-140 pl about 5 but the more Fps u want the more Pl you get which is why koops has a high pl and his line sucks a bit too.

    i use .cpp 50-52, and rate 3000 on irish servers

    basically that means that the amount of data going through my phone line is the same as someone using rate 3000, and cl_maxfps 50

    so its either my phone line or my modem that sucks (pace modem, so its probably phone line).

    pffff you use cl_maxfps 60 and rate 4000
    PFFFFFFFFF
