booting. ISP's do make a difference, but only from time to time.. Today,
you will log on to TEN and be routed to there by way of X1,X2,X3. The next
time you log on to TEN you will be sent through X1, X3, X4,. The the next
time would be.. X1, X8, X2,. If you get what I mean. The ISP doesn't have
the ability to decide where your connection get routed through to get to
TEN. If they did, they would make sure you had a maximum of 4 hops. so,
getting another ISP is only good to do if the bad hop is only the ISP it
self.
Hmm, the routers you go from connection to connections are the same to a
server 90% of the time. Your just changing of "interstate lane". But your
still passing through the same companies routers. So if your passing
through the Concentric routers, you may have problems, whatever router it
is.
More than 2/3 of the boots are related to a ISP problem or a net congestion.
If not, tell me why all the users with Concentric who couldn't race because
of the boots magically had them dissapear when they switched ISP ? It
wasn't TEN, no? ;)
at the TEN NG.
This week it's a little extreme, since TEN is not really down, but having
problems since the last maintenance. The system is not down, but they have
encoutered a bug with the login server. It's being worked all the time
since, be sure.
canceled my account just a couple months (mid 99) ago because there was
still no change in the service since November 97 when the NRO(S) was first
online to the "paying" public.
I can see your point. But to say there has been no change, well yes and no.
You may think this way, but the mass majority of NROS users are satisfied
with it, remember. There has been the addition of BGN tracks, fixed setups
for WinstonCup tracks and BGN tracks. The addition of Rendition enablers.
Addition of 3dfx enabler. Many upgrades and server addition (from 50 to
100+users per server). The NROS official series. You may or may not have
liked the NROS official series, but it was something new, something
different never done in the history. Heck remember 8 people went to Daytona
to race the finals. They fixed the Bogus Black Flag bug. The Watkins Glen
pit road entrance Black flag bug. The warping ahead bug, where people would
suddenly see themselves 2-3laps ahead. Oh yes the incredible warp qual
laps. Remember those 800mph laps near the start of 1998 ? Im forgetting
alot of stuff here, also. Oh yes the NROS demo arena. The no-pace start
where everybody would start at a different rate. Quicker Tow truck response
time, backward and reverse illegal driving, qual bug at loudon, some
hardware technical issues, etc..
