| Is rogers throtling games now? Not sure about most games, but ever since rogers began throttling I've been dropped/disconnected from 80% of the war craft 3 online games I've played since than. I've heard from other rogers subscribers that they're having similar issues.
And before you ask, i have no firewalls, windows firewall is disabled, and there are no hardware firewalls between me and my modem. |

| I've actually been experiencing similar issues with WarRock, an MMOFPS. Recently, my ping to their main servers has gone up dramatically. I guess we have to realize that sometimes these issues can be caused as a result of higher server loads, and more players. I guess until we have more people complaining about this, or concrete proof, it's just hearsay, and we just have to suffer through it as the ones who speak up. |

Yes, rogers is throttling UDP traffic. Now only TCP is left and when that goes everyone is doomed! Better switch back to using NetBEUI for everything before it's too late. |

kudos:4 | There is no concrete evidence that Rogers is throttling UDP traffic. Were this the case, the forum would be FLOODED with complaints. |

A little while ago I was beta testing the new LotR MMORPG. I was playing anywhere from 4 to 8 hrs a night and during the 3 months of testing I never had a connection problem. I have yet to see any issues with either my PC or Xbox 360 gaming.

| Same with mordin. I've never had any problems with online gaming. I love being about to download a 1GB game demo from the Xbox Live Marketplace in 10 minutes. |
|
| No problems with games here either, even with two or more online games being played over the connection at one time. |
