Really depends on what you need for it to qualify as "fast." Carnageblender has players from all over the world hitting my server here in UT, and it's "fast enough" for my purposes. The global network is a lot better than it was in the early 90s.
It's definitely not "just as fast" as having an Akamai-like network of strategically located servers, though. :) -Jonathan On Tue, 17 May 2005 15:28:48 -0600, "Daniel C." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: > Hello gang.
