Hello all...Anyone using Mindspring-Earthlink DSL here in the States? I have
a cable hookup which surfs and mails great but I have trouble gaming (GPL)
on it. Tried everything (registry tweaks, working with the cable company,
etc.). I show good numbers (pings, packet loss) yet when I race thing happen
like blinking cars, smashes, all the good things that come with a shaky
connection. I have the hardware to handle anything so it has been very
frustrating...I am a dial up customer of Mindspring and they have been
offering DSL service. Anyone have it and if so how is gaming on it?
Dave C.
Are you hosting the races? In Nascar 3 the person with the
fastest connection should host. GPL may be the same...

No Greg no hosting just racing. Very fast gaming machine with a cable
connection. Dial up gives me better performance. Meaning no warping or what
feels like a signal spike making the three performance meters explode
through the roof (latency, packet loss, etc)
