aight. y'all are probably sick and tired of punks like me asking why their pings sucks SO hard. sorry. but...my friend...wanted me to ask you guys for any kind of help possible. this is a major thing for my friend man! LIFE OR DEATH!! (not really hehe)
i...er...my pal has a Pentium II 350 mhz with 64 MB ram...not sure if it is SDRAM (ro what that is exactly)...and a 56k WINmodem. <shudder> i think the WINmodem is the problem, though my dad adamantly refutes any and all claims that the modem is a WINmodem...<muttering angrily>...oh yeah, here's a kick in the butt, my Dial-up ISP is earthlink. I'm thinkin that that is a major problem too. but whenever i query the master servers on UT, i'll find a server with a ping of maybe 250, and when i go in, my ping jumps to the thousands. literally. not 10 minutes ago my ping broke the 8k mark. I'm suffering here fellas. please Please PLEASE give me some input on whther i can remedy this problem without going DSL or Cable, or if i'm SOL with a dad too cheap to do anything but stay with "good" ol' "reliable" <cough, hack> Earthlink. thanks for your time and any input to this UT newbie.
