I actually have that Broadband Over Powerlines. It's pretty sweet. As far as I know, we're the only people in the country right now.
www.current.net Sorry to go off topic, heh. /p Quoting Pit Gee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I've heard first person shooters weren't "doable" on satellite internet due to latency but I've also seen some claim that it can be done. I've moved out in the "boondocks" and was pretty much resigned to no dod or any other games, however every once and a while I really get the urge to play. What a great game! The server screen indicates pings of 500 plus and I usually can't even log on to a server. Presumably they have the pings requirements set lower. I'm wondering if there is anything I can do about this or if there is anyone who has a list of servers with less stringent ping requirements. Every once and a while I just really get the urge to play. Are there tweaks I could use to reduce my ping time or am I pretty much stuck at about 6 seconds of delay for the uplink? I'd even settle for spectating a game every once and a while if I can't play but I can't seem to even get on to a server at all. The "nuclear fallout.net" servers seem to all kick me or rather not let me on. I'm not sure of this server host now dominates most servers or if it is just that silly kind of lagging message bug that seems to occur in the server host window. I wonder what ever happened to that internet over the power lines technology they used to talk about so much? _________________________________________________________________ Got something to buy, sell or swap?
