Hey All: Just got moved out in the sticks and got the only thing with decent D/L speeds. Satellite Internet. My only other option was dial up. Any luck using this playing? Anyone playing Urban Terror in this group? Ping time is a gruesome 500ms. Any advice is appreciated.

Some have decent bandwidth, but they'll all have pretty bad latency. -- Erik Max Francis && max@alcyone.com && http://www.alcyone.com/max/ San Jose, CA, USA && 37 20 N 121 53 W && AIM erikmaxfrancis And there inside our private war / I died the night before -- Sade

The download specs of Satellite may be good, but upload speeds are shot and that what kills online gaming. That ping looks about right with Satellite. -- Cory "Shinnokxz" Hansen - http://www.coryhansen.com Life is journey, not a destination. So stop running.
