I understand the issues associated with a cable connection and the available bandwidth due to users online. I know that the more people using up bandwidth, the worse my connection is going to be. However, lately my connection has sucked something fearse during peak hours (mainly evenings). That is bad enough but what is really starting to get my shorts in a bunch is that I can't jump into an online game of Quake2 without having my connection lock up with a big fat phone jack staring me in the face.
When things are going my way, I can usually ping a number of servers anywhere between 60 and 120. Other times, like right now, I cant find a server with a ping under 750 and just 10 minutes ago I was actually seeing 4 digit pings. How is this possible with cable? I can understand the occational +175 but over 1000???
I've added the following lines to my autoexec.cfg that I used to use when connecting with my 56k:
set cl_maxfps "35"
set rate "5000"
and I've also been through some of the info at http://www.speedguide.net/ but can't really find anything that looks like it will fix my problem.
Can anyone explain this phenonminon to me? Is there anything that I can do to fix my connection problem?
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated...
