Sikes Posted August 22, 2005 CID Share Posted August 22, 2005 I've been searching over the forum and haven't found much information on ISDN. I would like to know which service would be a good option for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
php Posted August 22, 2005 CID Share Posted August 22, 2005 Welcome to the forum Sikes I would say ISDN... what kind of gaming do you want to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikes Posted August 22, 2005 Author CID Share Posted August 22, 2005 I mainly play MMOs like World of Warcraft and Everquest 2. Generally my dialup connection works well enough with MMOs, but I usually get severe lag spikes or all out lag like in City of Heroes (Average ping 400+ with spikes of 4000 in CoH). I've timed out many a time because of my connection. I did play alot of FPS, back in the old days, i.e. Quake TF, and Counter-strike. However, I've totally quit playing any type of FPS online because I get an average ping of 400 to 9999. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
php Posted August 22, 2005 CID Share Posted August 22, 2005 With satellite your ping will be 800 at minimum... 1000-3000 typical I'm not sure about ISDN, but I think it would be the same or a bit better than dialup... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted August 22, 2005 CID Share Posted August 22, 2005 ISDN.. if you can get it.. Stay away from satellite!! the pings are going to make gaming a nightmare!! you might want to check this site for some ideas... http://www.thelist.com/ sorry CA3LE.. we need something like this!
