All it does is raise more questions..

If distance is the case, then why do I experiene lag when playing friends of mine who are basically a block from me and have the same service provider that I do?

The only diff in our connection is that hes 56k and im DSL. And the lag with him is the same as the lag with you.

Like I said...it does not add up. I have friends who live near me with all different connections, and service providers (DSL, Dial-Up, and Cable), and I experiense different variations of gameplay with each one, when they are all a 5 min drive from me.

and yes I know it goes to the service provider first, then to me. But still their central offices are close to where I live. And how about my friends who have the same service provider, and connection I do...I shouldn't see any lag against them

By what you're saying the game should run smooth as silk against them, and although its the best Ive seen, its far from perfect.

Once again...not adding up for me :biggrin:
