Although there are minor problems such as GVs uping and fireing before you see them all in all I dont seem to suffer from alot of the variables on the net that high-speeders complain about. I use a local ISP that puts me straight on the web. AOL was running me from GA. through Long Island then on the net. You can also try anything thats free for a month and ping plot/trace to see what work best. I hear framerate is lower but since my eyes work at about 24FPS(I think) 30FPS in a furballs fine with me.
