It run ok for a DSL line that 110miles from the DSL server. There some time the connection get Disconnect out Randomly mostly like something happen to the Telephone line. i only get 1.20mb down that enough for games but take forever to update and download new game. I live in valley only connection i can get. If there was any other DSL or Some other type Fiber line i would change over.

It only take one day to get connect get Frontier install

I get good ping for mmorpg games.

Example games i play

The elder scroll online no Combat lag
Dragon nest no lag
Mabinogi lag little
Vindictus lag little

Update they went down hill on me because they never fix dsl landline and i think there some landline in my area just lay on the ground not even on pole

went with Karma Go

You're not alone...

I'm actually surprised you can even play games like Elder Scrolls Online. Next-gen consoles run much better on a stable fast connection as any gamer would tell you. When I played Red Dead Redemption years back on PS3 I was often getting kicked due to near non-existent internet. Finally gave up and promised I wasn't going to do any online gaming until I either move out, or see an upgrade. Since the latter is pretty much dead in the water at this point, moving out is a much better option.

Make no mistake, all DSL providers are doing this year is price gouging us for far sub-standard service, because they know we are their cash cows.

I don't know about games. . .

But, if you have a telephone you should also have a STATE Utility Commission whose job is to make sure utilities work. The telephone is a public utility obligated to keep America connect from coast to coast. It is a Federal Law they try to dodge.

Contact your state utility commission/bureau and complain about NOT having a phone that works as promised. Not being able to dial out, line on ground, etc... The utility commission wants to hear about it. Good Luck.
