Hello Burton

 BJB> My favorite ut server has netspeed set to 20000 and I ping
 BJB> 20-40 all the time. My cable service is 3.5m down and 500 up
 BJB> (fast).  My problem is lag and packet loss which occurs
 BJB> sporadically day and night.  I thought it was my isp but now
 BJB> believe its my favorite server. Does the server capping the
 BJB> netspeed cause lag for a fast player?? Thanks.

Um, 20k? That's LAN speed, most broadbanders play at 10k. Most servers 
will be capped at 20k though, iirc that's the default.

As to whether it's causing PL, it's unlikely. What is likely is that 
their network is experiencing some congestion occasionally. And not an 
awful lot you can do about it. If everyone starts shouting "lag" at 
the same time, it ain't you matey.

In a dosbox, "ping ip -n 100 >\temp.txt" will take a while, but will 
give you some idea of how much PL during that timeframe, and "tracert 
ip" (also in dos, or grab a gui client) will show you the route, but 
won't be much help in nailing down sporadic PL, unless it's happenning 
at the same time you do it.
