    It's getting on my nerves now SOE. 40MB/s line and for a month now, I cant play the game due to over 1 million ping in any decent fight and about 10 000+ anywhere else.

    Notice time for resources is negative due to over 1 million ping (a new world record no doubt)...

    Eish yarr, you bouncing from one side of the planet to the other and then across to the other-other :confused:... wish we had enough zars for a local server. Is there no way they will look kindly on your troubles and transfer your account to eu?

    Also, 200ish ms on your trace to US is brilliant... thats my average to eu
  5. AllyElly

    Just to add, have you tried other isps? Not sure what sort of throttling and priority mtndsl has. Several offer free trials, afrihost for example has a 1gig free monthly data option I use when TI is playing up. Maybe try some others out and see if you still get the problems.
  6. ZenitHMaster

    Trying that now. Will report back soon
