I'm warping, go ahead and report me... but where I'm currently at my only internet option is satellite, and it aint no joy on my end when it starts. Everything is fine untill midway through some flight I'll lose UDP and as soon as I die or land I'll log.

Hmmm by reading the title I thought this thread is about  abuse of the ".report" command by evil squads... :D

I usually have a solid connection, but for the past week I get random disco's about 3 times a night.  Im on a wireless network, but my card is reading at a good/excellent connection.

Wireless' idea of "excellent" and AH's  are two different things.

Problem comes mostly from variance in delay. AH adapts well to even very slow connections, but gets unhappy when pings shoot way above where they were before. Wireless does this routinely, just from variation in signal quality. They don't mean a thing when you're downloading  web pages, but they turn into warps and disconnects when you play AH. Just for yucks, when you' in game check out your net status now and again. You might be surprised at the spikes.

Wired is the way to go.
Maturity is knowing that I've been an idiot in the past.
Wisdom is realizing I will be an idiot in the future.
Common sense is trying to not be an idiot right now

not having problems at all with variance... i get a flicker every now and then.. otherwise its showing as flat in net variance.  log in to a ping going between 42 and 65 at arena select.. but you're right.. im gonna wire it up soon anyway.. doing ICS with my xbox 360 just isnt cutting it
