Post by: Rocket on August 28, 2001, 07:54:00 AM: 56.6 if the wind is blowing right otherwise somewhere in the neighborhood of 42.5k . But 3 hops to a backbone and consitant latency ;) :) (makes all the difference in the world.)

I played on a 9600 modem and no one warped while I was playing and no one complained about me warping. Skuzzy and I talked about it and he couldn't approve of it cause 14.4 is the lowest approved speed. In todays MA I don't think it could be done. The furballs are bigger.

The key is not the fastest line with the biggest bandwidth but a consistant low latency connection :) :)

Post by: AcId on August 28, 2001, 08:04:00 AM: aDSL going to Sprint Wireless Broadband, and for Maniac here in the us it is aDSL most don't realize it unless they know they are paying for sDSL,
asyncronous Digital Subscriber Line or syncronous DSL.

asyncronous, meaning differing speeds, you download faster than you can upload.

syncronous, meaning the same speeds, you download and upload at roughly the same speed.

Ping times average about 170ms to HTC's main and alternate routes.

Anything faster doesn't matter for Aces High too much.
