Lag

Well it has been a while since I had something to say. It looks like my online days might be numbered. Not for the reasons one may typically think. For the last month or so, my internet connection has been getting worse. So it will be due to my connection being sub par. I simply can't play being red bar or yellow bar. It drives me nuts to be playing and see the game clock freeze or see bullet returns. I can't compete with such a huge disadvantage. I'll still try to play but if this continues, I doubt that I have much of a choice when trying to play H3 or any other game.


Apparently I we have fiber to a GPON and from that connection point it is split to other homes around the area. So now that we have IPTV in the area, other people are sucking the bandwidth from my connection when I play. In short, I can't do anything about it.

Bug you service provider a little bit before giving up. What is the speed they promised? are you getting that speed, if not call them to send someone over to check things out. See if they offer a higher connection speed plan which you can upgrade to.

Our ISP is owned by our sister company. I get internet for free. Can't upgrade because the way it is set-up they wouldn't be able to guarantee the speed. I still have a couple of people to but though.

#1. Get a dedicated DSL line. Less speed, but no traffic lag.\r \r #2. Get a gaming router, or learn about Tomato.\r \r #3. Shut the fuck up you fucking pussy and learn to eight-shot people so you can fucking rape bitches at the lan. If your wife ever gives you permission to come. Pussy.

No seriously, that sucks. Maybe its time you moved out of western Kansas. If you didn't have Halo, what would you do? Sticky grenade a cow? :)
