I'm moving apartments at the moment and wont have broadband till late next week at the earliest

I'm stealing it off the neighbors at the moment but the signal is too weak for the ps3.

Hows it holding up these days? Any improvments Lag or connection speed wise?

BT, unfortunately the fastest line they have available in my area is the 3meg. I was hoping for the 24meg.

thats the same thing as "connection interrupted" in cod4, but in cod4 it doesnt freeze the game

Thats the latency detection network test, not sure what that is tho lol

latency is ping so its measurin ur ping but can make ur ping higher=more lag

I could but im a web developer and work from home so broadband is very important to me, plus i need it for gaming

. I wouldn't trust a company like UPC with it, if i got any problems they would leave me dangling for weeks trying to get it sorted. Im sure Eircom will improve the speed of there network too... eventually!!

i have them since july with no probs but on boards there is people sayin they hsve probs in dublin, maybe cos theres a bigger userbase there and the network cant handle it yet
