.. I just got my internet connection today, which is
supposed to be a
20mbps [ADSL2+ @ Wanadoo.es]. I was (and still am) pretty happy with the browsing speed, which seemed to be totally accpetable; this is until I opened ASE, set the filter to "europe" and refreshed the Quake3->CPMA server list.
Yeah, that is the top of my list classified by ping (and yes, it starts from the lowest..)
What the fuck!? A 94ms latency from a server that might just be ran by my neighbor? Very nice indeed, I used to have that sort of ping when I played on a server located in Seattle, WA.. from Texas.
I was all exited about being able to play cpm with a ping lower than the 50ms I had in the US, wanadoo just ruined it.
Can any Spaniard Gamer (or anyone that is actually familiar with DSL technology) help me with this? I really don't get the issue right here, wanadoo seemed to offer the highest speed with a DSL line (which is the only option, as it looks like cable technology hasn't crossed the Pyrenees yet) - and yet it feels like I still run a 56k modem here.. Is there no way to get fastpath or something that might lower my ping somehow?
Thanks in advance for your help.
