I can answer now. Go find out for yourself what alot of other people are too busy to tell you. It rocks and the best is still yet to come! I was along with alot of people unsure how the system was going to hold up under the stress of release. It worked fine in beta and now, it worked even better under release!! I did not see anything out of the unusual last night and would say is = to or even better than the racing on Hawaii. Brian

Pardon? An *extra* ninety-five percent of a dollar a minute? They're paying "Mr. Bandwidth" waaaaay too much money! Assuming it's like any other online service, we're talking a minimum 5 bucks just to get a race started, IF you're lucky. Think I'll stick to racing for free on the Zone with CPR. -- Neil Yeatman Ajax, Ontario, CANADA

Pardon? An *extra* ninety-five percent of a dollar a minute? They're paying "Mr. Bandwidth" waaaaay too much money! Assuming it's like any other online service, we're talking a minimum 5 bucks just to get a race started, IF you're lucky. Think I'll stick to racing for free on the Zone with CPR. ------------- Actually, it is 95 cents an _HOUR_ , not a minute. The person who orgionally posted was incorrect. This is $5.00 an hour cheaper than Hawaii for me, so it is a pretty good deal. But ..... My ISP here in El Paso doesn't have a low enough ping time for me to play through the internet. This is annoying, but it was expected. The TEN dialup server here is fairly fast.. when connecting to some race areas I can get Mr. Bandwidth to show yellow, some blue, and others are red. Once you get into a race, it is actually pretty good. The last race I ran I experenced no warping at all. The bigest problem carried over from Hawaii... Buttheads. In both races I ran tonight, some jughead stopped at the botom of turn 1 so someone would run into them. Putz. If you create the race, you have the option of keeping known abusers out of your race. Problem is, it takes a few races to figure out who these people are. A master KILLFILE would be great. While this is fairly inexpensive as compared to Hawaii, it still bites to be crashed out of a race by a bonehead. -- Robert Johnson ICQ# 1655618

Why do you say this? How about letting us know the troubles your having to cause you to feel this way. -- Don Burnette Music City Racing

Because he has to pay Don. He doesn't want it if it ain't free. Besides, I'm sure he would have more fun playing on the Zone if you get my drift. <G> See ya on the track Don. > Why do you say this? How about letting us know the troubles your having to

says... That's an intelligent response... $13 a month, yeah, that's way to expensive...get a grip

Think that was wrong. .95 an hour I think is a better understanding. :> Brian

(snip) Yer right...095 per hour for a TEN dialup. My two ISP's couldn't cut it so I signed up with Concentric. But... I have no local access number (it's a toll call) so I'll pay anywhere from 1.50 per hour to .90 per hour until they hook up a pop on this side of Sacramento county. Concentric connections are good, and the racing is great. regards, Gavel on TEN

I agree with you, I get better connection on TEN (28,8) than connecting to hawaii through a 14,4
