The only drawback, at least in my area, is that the "upstream" transfers are limited to 128Kb. This means that I can't host a GPL game with more than about 6-8 players.

95% of the time is works great, better than great. Make sure you have the 1204 patch from Sierra. 5% of the time you will get sudden disconections, abrupt change in quality etc. But I have gone tons of laps tucked underneath another car at Dega with nary a blip... dave henrie GTX_SlotCar wrote: > > Same thing now though Mike ;) > >

I've got @home... I think it kicks butt. I'm new to online gaming, but between Nerf Arena and N3 I really haven't had too many problems... Occasionally, I get a "Bad Connection" message while racing, and cars do jump around and disappear sometimes, but for the most part, I'm really, really happy. What is also unbeatable is being able to download patches and stuff in no time flat. Good luck, Andrew Harry Mailahn wrote:

The finalized beta patch for N3 & NL. Now available at Papy.com and Sierra . I'm not sure if the auto update is there yet though. A bunch of multiplayer improvements, some graphic updates and whole bunch of bug squashes. The same patch for the trucks 1214 is still going through testing but will put the CTS expansion pak up to the same level as the patched versions of N3 and NL. dave henrie Andre Warringa wrote:

I recently moved from Calgary where I had @Home and sadly I wasn't too happy with the performance alot of the time. I had probs with packets loss, and slow speeds. However in Oshawa where I am now located all the problems no longer exist for me. (still on @Home) Md

It all depends on the neighbourhood your in. My friend gets 300-400k off me (T3) sometimes, whereas my Dad's sometimes is sooo bad it takes him 15-20 minutes to email a complaint!!!! It's a crapshoot, scooter Martyn Danby <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
