Connections remain bad despite cable, and I can't handle the frustration of fighting it any more. Tired of whining on the open about it, no one needs to hear that, so the ol' account gets closed for good.

It has been fun here, made and met a lot of friends here, and I wish you all the best.

All the Best

Now that I have DSL, Ive noticed some odd stuff, but overall good. I think I've hear cable sucks from more than one person. Get DSL.

Actually, a good clean 56K modem works really well for AH and dialups are dirt cheap.

Sounds like you stayed with cable till it drove you nuts, which may not be the best way to fix your headache. It seems like it would be better to try some alternatives first.

Go 56K for the next release, level some Osti's in the Il2, and if it doesn't work, then quit.

Kieran,

Hope you can find a way to stay. You are the kind of player we need.

Best of luck.

C U , think you were the first player I meet in AH , u were a trainer then .

I only connect at 26400 here in Mi but almost never see the lag u talk about . I have seen it from some test ISP's I had ( had 3 at one time )

Well anyway , sounds like you get that kind of lag I had from ATT Net , man that sucked , if thats what you get I feel your pain . They would be in front of me shooting at me . I switched ISP and then no problems .

I know from reading some of your posts that you have tried everything .

 I really enjoyed most of your posts here on this board , the kids you teach must be a lucky bunch too btw .

Take care and gb ,

  Really sad to hear that kieren. I urge you to take a month or so off and give it another try then. I know i havent been flying much lately with work and all but I cant remember ever hearing you whine, not once in the nearly 3 years in the skys of AH and DOA.
 
 I ususally stay out of I quit threads but i had to say here that you will be missed. I hope you will reconcider this time.

Play on a 56K connection here.. no complaints. With the code being set in stone for every type of connection, dial-up is just as good as DSL or Cable for this game.

It's only in FPS games that high bandwidth connections matter.

If you are interested in going to a dirt cheap (10$/mo) dial up... I can send you to some sites to help you tweak the crap outta your modem. I connect between 48000 and 53000... pings are always sub-150ms and I'm about 16 hops the main route.. 12 hops alt route.

If you plan on staying: weissdr1@yahoo.com and I'll send you some sites to get you set up for dial up (unless you want to stick with high bandwidth.. then I'd hafta say DSL is better way to go).

Your problems are probably BECAUSE you have cable.  It's shared bandwidth.  Latency and throughput are very sensitive to the load that your neighbors are placing on the system, but you probably already know that.  Try using a good dial-up provider in the interim and then order ADSL, if it's available.  I can't speak for the major RBOCs because I have Frontier LighningLink (Rochester NY), but my service gives great connections in AH.  Also, they just upped the downstream to 3 Mbps, no extra charge, because they are in heavy competition with Road Runner up here. It's good to be the king. =)

Hope you stay around on the boards, Kieren. Your thoughtfulness and civility is always a refreshing change from the usual smack-fest  on the BBS.
