My point is that I envy and hate LPB's for thier low pings (remember: Half speed DSL) and envy and hate everyone including HPB's for thier ability to play a game from start to finish.
I know this topic is old, but I can't prevent adding to it, it's something near and dear to my heart <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
Most of you guys are saying to solve the problem with DSL and t3, which is utterly stupid because the man said he lived somewhere that they only allowed 56k or sattelite. I don't know about you guys, but I can't afford $169 a month for sattelite especially if it's going to be as slow with gaming as 56k. I'd like to try that dual 56k thing the problem being you guys said it reduced your lag by half, if your provider allowed dual connections. Now, the laggiest I get in a game is 4095 people have seen me suspended in mid-air running in place. And I am normally either booted or asked to leave because these "elite" **** can't deal with an extra 10 to 30 mili-seconds ADDED TO THEIR PING!<b>*squints*</b>
Anyway, I use to play games all the time on 56k and they ran perfect! A great ping of 200-345 all the time, you cable huggers forgot what a good ping use to be! The big question that I have to ask, is why if I was able to play this game before without problems, should I not be able to now when nothing has changed? And yes I mean Natural Selection, I don't mean Half-Life. Month ago I could play most of the day no problem, then I could only play from midnight to 11am, now apparently I can only play for the first five minutes after I connect before my ping hits and remains at a constant 4095 or kindly drops down to a 2067.
The answer is simple.... freaking ISP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh and by the way I'm not in the city so DSL and cable are out, unless T3 is any different than them it is out as well. Where does that leave me?

When your a HPB you can also use the "uber lag h4x" as they have been aptly described, me I don't get to play NS online much, and so I'm thankfull for whenever I can actually get on a server, weither I be on 56.k or meh dual t3 (school)

You need at least Windows 2000 or XP. But hopefully, that shouldn't be a problem.
