Latency of .160 not good enough for N3????

is it me or are the online requirements for n3 a lot higher than GPL.

Now ive played gpl online many a time so i guess my expectations were a bit
high.....anyway

i loaded up the demo, signed on to won, went into arena demo from within the
n3 multiplayer menu, and got to a screen which was a poor imitation of
winVROC.  Looked at pings of around 150 - 200 (Which in GPL is great on my
PC), logged into a Texas race, pressed the accelerator, and then got a
message saying SLOW CONNECTION, and then LOSING CONNECTION, and then its
gone.......im not impressed.......Went into a chat room and a guy said that
you need pings well under 150 to be able to race.....

who the hell on a modem (33.6) has a ping under 150????

i can now fully understand why Geoff Crammond doesnt want internet
capability in GP3.  Most people have normal modems, not adsl (which isnt
even out here yet) or isdn.
