my friend has it, and he plays unreal tournament with me, and when he first got it, his ping would go from 32 to somewhere in the thousands, however, it's not so bad anymore, but I don't have it so I can't really say.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14229524 Fri, 26 Aug 2005 21:36:58 EDT Re: [AZ] VoIP Affect on Gaming? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14195279 Alensky : scottlpz
I have Skype the Free one not the one with a monthly subscription. It works great. I have a friend who has a cellphone with limited minutes so he calls me on his phone
and says get on Skype and then we talk for hours. All thats needed is headphone & mic and the program on your computer. Make a handle and password. You can talk to anyone in the lower 48 states. When someone calls me my computer speakers ring a telephone sound. For those gamers who don't have Teamspeak or Ventrilo because they don't belong to a clan, this is what you need to privately talk to a teamate while in a game.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14195279 Mon, 22 Aug 2005 19:04:11 EDT Re: [AZ] VoIP Affect on Gaming? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14194176 Smokey : Cox does not offer VoIP in AZ, and as Bill said, the VoIP that Cox uses is not like that Vonage uses.

Check the terms of service and bandwidth usage/requirement specs for the service(s) that you are considering. ;)

Includes backup power, so your phone won't go out if your power goes down (like many VoIP services). :-)

You might notice a slight bump in ping time, but not enough to effect game play.

I'm an avid World of Warcraft player and want to make sure that adding a VoIP service won't affect my ping times/latency, etc. I was actually running WoW just fine on my 4mbps service, which is why I doubt that VoIP would affect it, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this.

Thanks in advance!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14187027 Sun, 21 Aug 2005 17:36:17 EDT
