Cable Users have unfair advantage - no doubt in my mind

i've have played lotsa people who run cable modem...and no matter weather im hosting or they are hosting...there is unfair lag in their advantage...it does not matter wich mode you use Turbo or Normal...the cable users are always dealing more damage and always a second ahead of the standard dial up users.

ADVICE TO DIAL UP USERS
When you are challanged by some one with a ping of less than 600, I have found are cable users..and that you should choose "Normal Mode"...if your opponents ping is between 700-1000 then you are more than likely fighting a dial up user...and you can freely choose either "Normal"or"Turbo" mode..and you should experience a fairly even game...If your opponents ping is greater than 1000,then you are usualy fighting some one from afar. And i have found that selecting "Turbo Mode" some times can give you a very unfair advantage in these cases...im still experimenting with this whole issue..but dial up users please give my advice a try for a week and tell me if you see a differance in your winning streak....and if you fight a cable user and win,and they want a rematch...Decline them,because they will choose turbo mode and mop the floor with ya.(provided they have any skill at all)..more advice:ask some one to tell you what your ping is..and when some one challanges you if there ping is lower than yours..then the game in running to their advantage and you should choose normal mode.
