seems some people don't understand how INTERNET works !

let me tell you how it works...

IT DOESN'T MATTER THE CONNECTION (MODEM)

56k sends 3kb (data sended by the game, it is a guess) over internet.

since internet is a multi-network thing, the data (packet) pass where it can !
(montreal to toronto to hong kong to china to france to britain to finaly come to you at new-york)
see the packet isn't going straight ! now it doesn't matter what type of modem you have cause it's not in your computer anymore !

then it arrive to your modem, even if he is able to get more kb/sec (cable) then a 56k, the data sended at start is THE SAME so there is no speed change in any of this !

the change is seen only if the data is more than 100kb who i doubt is !

what cause the lag is the server on which you play and not the MODEM you have, it has always been like that and it will always be like that !

understood ?

for those who dont know i tryed both of the speed !
cable = school where i was playing
33,6 = home where i play
both had the same amount of lag !

so stop talking about things if you dont have anything to prove what your saying !
