FINALLY, after putting up with lag, many discos, redials, and just plain old 49.2 to 52kpbs (on good days :rolleyes:) for the 12 years I've lived in Eastern Oregon (a.k.a "nowhere"), we actually have DSL now. Now you buggers will have an easier time swatting my plane out of the sky without my ISP doing it for you. :D

everything's relative I guess.........because I remember playing air warriors on aol and those with 33.3 modems used to be jealous of the cats who had 56k........ but somehow we all flew and it worked. I can't even imagine going back to that know...after being used to this...it would be like black and white tv all over again.

Congrats Thundarr! I keep getting junk mail from Embarq wanting me to sign up for DSL. When I tried to sign up they told me DSL is not available in my area, no fiberoptics. I asked when it would be installed and was told "at this time we have no plans to upgrade in your area". :furious

Congrads from a fellow dial-upper! (They ran cable to within a MILE of my house...due to pole configuration and Cox's new contract with county, doubt that it will go any further) My modem got zapped, am in the process of trying out 4-5 units from Newegg to see which one can hit the 40's and 200-ish ping...always a crap shoot. (We MAY get some sort DSL-type stuff in next couple years I'm told....not holding my breath)

How well I know that feeling. :rolleyes: Very frustrating. Last night was the first time playing AH with my new DSL. Could be just me, but it seemed my gunnery was spot on in my B26's. (Just ask the 3 smoking 190's that chased me out of a Rook base :D) I hope you get better net soon, Bj.

Nice to not have as much lag isn't it. :aok My high speed wireless went down and went back to the Sat internet for a night. Wow what a difference, I couldn't believe that I was dealing with that much lag.

I switched to DSL a few years ago and, quite frankly, I didn't notice any real difference in game play. About the only thing I really appreciated was my 56k modem was screwed up and wouldn't would drop download speeds to next to nothing after a minute or so. So, when I'd want to come up for a quick few fights, there'd be a new update of one kind or another that might take 20 minutes or so to download. Now it just takes a few seconds, if that.
I'm sure if I switched back to 56k after using DSL I'd probably notice some difference, though.
