My numbers change from daytime to nighttime

5000/1600 but at night it goes down to 2600/860.

So, its not skill. Its connection speed. I feel much better now. :wink:

I kind of doubt that my campus's network people would like that very much, and even if I did have extra machines, I couldn't exactly cram them into a dorm room. :P

(posted download speeds)
dude!!!

^_~

Why can't we just alienate the phone modem players? That's part of the reason D3 failed like it did... every other game optimizes their servers for high-speed connections... and server ops won't stop hosting levels like skybox, amateur's arena, stadium, etc. >_< Thunderbunny was right. =P

We just got bumped to 8MBps down and 800KBps up. For an extra $50 we could get 18MB down and 1 MB up. Wife doesn't like the price of it so for now I'm stuck at 8.

I've said it before many times, and it's in my server-message on all my servers... request something!

I'm not all-knowing, I just host what people request, and leave it up if it gets played. I've only played D3 multi since 2005, so I don't know many of the good classic levels.

I've heard at least twenty complaints about the hosted levels in the last few months. During that time, how many requests for something different have I gotten? Three, which I hosted, and which never got played.

Complaining is easy; if you really want something different, request it!

1871 Kbps down
661 Kbps up



not sure if that's good bad or average.
It's all that Hawaii has to offer for less than $200 a month or so (last I checked)
it's a far cry from my CA static IP account from Sonic though :|

ps--oh, and I dont have an account there either :P
