Re: New Development For ADSL2+ (EXTRA EXTRA READ ALL ABOUT IT)
said by rated  :there is no need to flood the directforum with something as trivial as changing your profile to fastpath...you can simply talk to someone on bell chat and they will have your profile changed to fastpath within hours...this is what i did I would disagree. no offense but the chat is worthless. I wanted to upgrade my account to 10 meg and had a confirmation number and all and nothing ever came of it.
the folks in the direct forum seem to be able to get things done quicker. |

I had a 7296/1088 profile for over two months.. there's Screenshots of it posted here in the Sympatico Forum.
I don't know why it's so hard for Bell to set a profile properly. I did have to call and swear a lot though, that may be why they got it right.. |

said by munky99999 :wow you guys whine alot... Oh noes I have internet speed is so fast that I also need a low ping. Hey, who's whining? 
Really, though, fast connection speed is quite often moot, at least to me, because most places where you want to have a high download speed are capped (like rapidshare, unless you subscribe) or throttled (torrent).
For me and a lot of others, the latency is important because of gaming. Since getting switched to fast path my ping is now 15 - 20 ms faster compared to my interleaved profile, and it has made a significant difference in my gaming.
Also for the record, |

when users were still on dial up modems and some users had DSL/cable solutions, the difference in pings of upwards of 100ms to 200ms did have an impact on the quality of online gaming... but a difference of 10ms to 15ms isn't going to do a thing in today's modern games where multiplayer is a huge facet of development now - sometimes even requiring dedicated teams to program for it instead of it being an afterthought tacked onto a game.
Modern games have more accurate client side prediction and better timing mechanisms built into them so that latency isnt a factor anymore. |

if you got your 7m in about 2+months ago
then most likely you are on interleaved path |

Who told ya that malarky?Ever tried counterstrike with a 50ms latency?Probably not because your dead as soon as you spawn. |

Duped into believing? I think not. How about seeing is believing? Like I said in my previous post, it HAS made a significant difference in my gaming. To be specific, there's a lot less lag, ghosting, etc. I wasn't just parroting what I've heard else where. |

ummm... yeah.... k. Dare you to make a new topic in this forum saying latency is no longer an issue with Bell since game developers fixed it so that latency is no longer an issue...
Once you make that topic here, hop over in the teksavvy forum and make another topic and tell the people there they no longer need the premium teksavvy account with premium routing for gaming. Heck you may as well call teksavvy, ask for Rocky and tell him to stop selling premium routed accounts because you have single handley solved all latency issues with your words (which are fulla chit). |
