Heya
I have a huge problem playing UTJB online. Before I had this problem, my humble 56k modem was pinging the UTJB Mothership averaging 350-450 perfectly fine.
When I'm not in combat, like when I'm running around and there's no one else near me, my ping is quite happy at around 300-400. However, as soon as I start shooting someone else it rockets, reaching well over 3500 sometimes, which is unplayable and lags the entire server.
Thats the general situation...
When I set UT's sole network connection setting to Modem 28.8-56k, my movement speed is appauling. Its like I'm constantly walking. All actions take at least double the time as they would normally. The speed fluctates a bit, and sometimes I start moving a little faster, but not much, before slowing down again. Everyone else moves at a much faster, normal speed.
When the network setting is ISDN, my movement speed is much more normal, although because of the ping problem described above, I cant leave it at this setting.
When its set to Cable/DSL, movement speed is quite quick, and again the ping soars.
When its set to LAN, it usually doesnt take long before UTPureRC7C kicks me for being impure.
Below are three lines from the log. The second is obviously the high ping, the third is the normal ping.

I dont know much about how this all works or what it stands for, but there does seem to be a large number of channels. The Netspeed of the game was 2600 too.
I really dont know what to do to get this working normally.... apart from waiting until August 4th when broadband becomes available to my area. I'd much appreciate any help anyone could give to fixing this problem.
