Yes, I've searched the forums (under terms "high ping" and 1.22").
No, I have NEVER complained about DICE or EA - I absolutely enjoy the game and never bitch and moan about patches (check for yourself).
No, I am not a very knowledgeable "techie".
All that being said...
After installing 1.22 , my ping is very high. YES--- i've checked the other two major threads but here is what I know...
I usually sort by players and/or ping and only play if it is less than 200 - and usually end up at less than 100 (which I now know isn't that great either - from what I've read in the other posts).
Now, when the list of 1200 servers come up, there is NOTHING under two hundred (except for the first four or five - that are at zero with no players). Before 1.22, there were TONS of servers with pings under 200.
So tonight, I went to the CNET Bandwidth Meter, and my speed is HORRIBLE. Used to be between 4-6MB, now it is less than 1. Could a game/patch slow down my connection (although it is Saturday night)?
Couple of notes - this is not just today - yesterday too. I have power cycled my cable modem. I also noticed that all the other players on the servers I join are fine. Once I join and stay for a while, it DOES NOT go down, it only fluctuates like normal (e.g., 193-215).
Thanks in advance...
