Re: Anyone play online with DSL?

My UK DSL is fine. 4mbps down (distance from the telephone exchange prevents me from having 8mb at the same price though ) 448kbps up. £25 per month. No limits. Ping 15ms.

I'm using 1500/256K (Yes, 160KB/s download and 25KB/s upload). God I love Australia *rolls eyes*

Costing me $70Au a month ($53US). 16GB Onpeak downloads and 30GB Offpeak downloads.

Sigh!

Re: Anyone play online with DSL?

Hooooooooooly crap. Unless the AUD is worth one or two US quarters, then, damn, that's a hefty price. I feel better about my $42US per month cable at an *advertised* 4MBs speed. Maybe I'll quit looking for the $25/month DSL deals.

But I do hate hate hate writing a $142 check every month for crappy television + internet. That's almost a car payment.

Telephone, Cellphone, Satellite dish and internet all comes to roughly 250 a month at my home. Everything is month to month and free from the early ternimation fees.

We are moving towards annual payments and consolidation of all services to one Fiber line and junk the rest of the stuff.

Re: Anyone play online with DSL?

I have sympatico high speed dail-up and works smoothly just as long as there isnt too much traffic on hub. I should be switching to cable in September. I hope anyway.

I have Sympatico too , I actually worked for them. It's DSL and it's exactly as fast as Videotron ( cable ) . For High Speed at least ... I wouldn't switch for cable not even if it's FREE. They upgraded from 3Mb to 5 or 6Mb down a couple of months ago, didn't you knew, and that's exactly how fast cable is also and cable has a Download 20Gb and Upload 10 Gb limit. Can you sleep properly when you know you have a limit on something?!? Do not make that mistake buddy ... Sympatico is STILL the ONLY ONE with no traffic limit YET ...

Im in Melbourne. The max we can get is 1500/256 (ADSL) or we can get ADSL2+ (Not on my exchange yet) which is UP TO 24000/1000 but you only get that speed if your next door to the exchange.

Why in gods name New Zealand has 3500/512K if bloody beyond me. Is it a standard home connection? Or some kind of work/office connection?

Re: Anyone play online with DSL?

As long as you are decently close, DSL should have lower pings from what I have experienced.

Re: Anyone play online with DSL?

I had roadrunner and had to downgrade to DSL when I moved. It's okay, but I miss roadrunner alot. My ping stays around 90 now as with roadrunner it barely ever went over 40.

Re: Anyone play online with DSL?

I have DSL (ADSL; whatever that is) in Korea, and had DSL back in California. The latter was terrible, it would disconnect automatically if not used for hours and I could not reconnect other than restarting the computer. Then there were frequent occurences of connection troubles as I was playing BF2, it was amazingly frustrating enough that I prefer DSL in Korea even though I would play at 150 - 250 ping in U.S. servers. Interestingly enough, the download speed here to U.S. is faster than when I was in California....

SCREW AT&T!

Re: Anyone play online with DSL?

My DSL is good at 1.5mbps/T1 speed.

Its more than enough to be on Xbox Live, Internet on Other Computer, DL Something, and BF2 Online at the same time.

No DL limits here either...
