At that URL, you say "using a USB ADSL device is Bad News" but just above you said it's OK... LOL! :) You're going mad! :) Anyway, it seems my USB ADSL connection *is* the cause of my Q2 lag, because http://tinyurl.com/324kq states "ADSL, by rights, should be connected to an ethernet socket" and to "return the USB variant and ask for a *proper* ethernet ADSL connection". So, I guess I'll look into doing that to restore my Q2 gaming experience. :) (As for my original post on this thread, http://tinyurl.com/2cbcz seems to agree with me -- that my dial-up connection was better than ADSL!).
