Tho I have to say, my avg ping on BTInternet is only 145-170

State what modem you use, your connect speed and what netspeed you use in UT. Lets compare the winmodems to to hardware modems:)

I use a Diamond Supra Express pro, I connect at 45.3K, with a netspeed of 3000 in UT

PS. If those pics dont load I WILL kill someone

56k Pings...

OK crappy Add-Tel Rockwell winmodem on 900MHz celeron(shaddup at the back, I knew nothing about PCs when it came free with my comp..!)

BT Internet;connect @ 46667 or 48000;netspeed 2200-2400; Ping 190-220 v jumpy (I don't even bother to play on BTI it's so crap for me)

Old GI dialup - was pinging 170 - 180 and was great when it worked

FreeUK (free version of Claranet); superb, but pay per minute hence dont do it

BW dial up; similar to RHA below

My usual ISP is:
RedHotAnt;46667 - 52000;netspeed 2200 - 2700; Ping 170-220
V stable (on a good day)and when its rock steady (not necessarily low) I really enjoy playing and can hold my own. Otherwise I mope around and have to go out and stuff :D

hmm.. my lowest real ping is probably a little under 200.. f1 reports my ping to be 80-150 a lot though.. even though its really no where near that :)

on my normal dialup I connect at 50.2kbps.. but its been disconnecting me every 20mins (literally), so I'm kind of hopping through dialups that connect me between 48 and 49.3

netspeed is at 2600 currently.. but maybe I'll try higher to see if I get mucho pl..

ohyeah.. I have a winmodem.. pings were pretty much identical to my hardware modem, but I get lots more connection drops that are remedied by restarting UT and while it hasn't happened recently, I get bouts of constant 20-100%+ (really) incoming pl

I will ping 145 to our home server when it was up and running with spikes in combat typically not going over 160 :D Reason being it is/was located within a local ISP. I have an account with that ISP and seeing as I would dial into the same building I would make a total of 2 hops to our server :) No "net" traffic for me thank you :D I have a USR PCI Pro Modem that is hardware controlled. On most other servers I will get 220-270 ( those are ones that I play on at any rate). The fastest connection I am able to attain is 45.3 with UT netspeed set at 3000. My lines are just plain crap IMO. I've tried every modem that we carried at the store I work at and the USR "for me" is the only one that would attain the 45.3 connection I get. All others wouldn't get past 28.8 Anyhoo........I love being in my situation.......not being able to get cable because of certain situations and being too far for DSL and to top it off...........my phone lines suck. OH *JOY* :)

Same modem as LK, netspeed 2600, only connect at 28-36k due to the 2 miles of wet string BT call a phone line.:)
Best pings have been 180-ish, average 300-400,even by f1 - f6 is a lot higher - which is why I only bother to play online about once a week.

lol, he must have sold his soul to get those pings. But they're true...I've witnessed them first-hand.

My best 56k ping is somewhere between 250-300.

I'm lucky to see pings like LK is getting with my dual-ISDN lines. :D

woo.. I tried playing with a netspeed of 3000 last night

no pl.. my avg ping might have gone down from 250 to around 230 or so, but my avg fps went up from ~35fps to around 40fps! I can't explain how much more playable it is at that framerate

145-200 on the average,connect at 48000,or 49,333 on 3Com Internet gaming modem...and a good ISP.

This is with no modem tweaks...Just the 3com software that you switch into "Gaming Mode Enabled".

Oh, also I have no modem tweaks, nothing fancy. My ISP is BTInternet, and it can give me sub 150 on a goof day. With UKOnline, I was getting a steady 120-150 ping to their UKOnline LMS server, I felt like god:D
