388339 2005-09-14 22:11:00 From Wanganui I get pings in CS:S of between 80-120 for NZ servers, Cant just get by with playing on a few Aussie servers.

Slower paced games (as noted) are not an issue, and I have had excellent results playing rFactor online, But that was built from the ground up to excel online. Having said that, if a couple of knog-heads join with massive ping then it all turns to jelly.

388340 2005-09-14 23:39:00 I suppose the upload connection is the speed that it takes to communicate from my end to their server?

I believe download would be more important than upload correcT?

388341 2005-09-14 23:43:00 If i download at 4.5-5kbps using dialup what would the download speed be with 256k? Ninjabear (2948)
388342 2005-09-14 23:57:00 yeah just checking my usage for dialup i can use 1.5gb a day!!! Thats just for playing c&C!!!

Hmm yeah too bad there isn't a 2mbps flat rate.


ummmm yea, A dialup 56K modem maxium download speed depending on the ISP area bla bla is about 15MB per hour.

It would be basically impossible to use much over 400MB in a full day little own 1.5 gig, it would be one hell of a dial up modem. C&C uses around 2KB/S from memory. I think your probably getting confused between Kilobits and Kilobytes in your usage meter.

Your download speed would be about 32KB/S which is the figure your probably after not KBPS, your modem was doing 4.5-5KB/s not KBPS.

Besides, the Telecom plans suck.
