A lot of ZS players in the UK and Australia can't play any more as we constantly get kicked because our pings are always higher than 250. My ping is between 200 - 900 depending on what time of day it is, a lot of UK players are still on dialup because the internet in this country sux and broadband isn't always readily available, where i live it would cost around £20,000 to get the lines installed, and even then we would only get 100 - 200kb/s, we basically have to play as zombie as we get kicked every 10 minuites and when we rejoin we are zombie

I live in North Yorkshire in the middle of no-where, we use broadband, and my internet is fine, but we have a bad telephone exchange which can raise my ping.

Want my solution?

1. wait a while until the gorvernment rolls out a fibre optic circuit round the UK (which they might be going to do)

2. Get off dial-up, if you use it for gaming then...why?

3. I do support people coming in from different countries to play in one server, equality n' all that. But if there is an australian server available, go dere.

I like criticism, so flame on!

At least you guys are gonna get fibre optics, It won't come near where I live and the exchange is miles away.

Having said that I still get 30-70 ping on all servers.

Heres a PROTIP for you chaos1986: Don't play whilst d/ling porn.

I wish lol i can't download things, they never finish. like in firefox it gets to about 1 or 2% then completes and is corrupt, i get 50 - 75% packet loss

BUT YOU NEED THE PORN.

Error is british to and he doesn't have any problems at all

yeh but he most likely doesn't live in a failing town

I live in the middle of nowhere (Burn is my younger brother), and im fine, Leeds has fibre going straight through it, you should be able to get some sort of broadband tbh. But yeah, UK is going down the shitter, thats why Im going to move to The Netherlands :D (In a fair few years though)

I'm from Preston, UK. I have a ping of roughly 30-35, and I never have any problems with pings, as long as I'm not downloading anything at the same time.

I don't actually know anyone that still uses dial up, and haven't done for years.

Everyone i know locally uses dialup (it's all that's available), i know loads of people on it away from Leeds also. There are some places the government just doesn't give a shit about

Error dont go to the netherlands, its a shitty country with a bad government. But it has decent internet speeds. :S

lately server is acting weird when there are more than 30 people, pings rise to 500 for a short while. Psychopeti even got kicked for having a to high ping. :/

yeh the ping needs to get raised to at least 600, I've had a constant ping of 500 and I can still play (without lagging to badly) on a very busy TTT server.

things start getting a bit flaky at around 750 - 800

I guess no one here remembers the early days of quake, and the term LPB's?

Hell no, the Netherlands rock. We just don't see it ourselves. The fact that everybody's bitching keeps the discussion going. There's not much interesting stuff here in terms of nature, but if you're searching a place to study or live under good laws, this is the place.

We could raise it with like 50 ms. But changing it to 500-900 would just be too much. It's not a problem on our side because our network got great international lines.

Sorry man :(

OK yeh that would help quite a bit when my ping sits at its usual 289 - 330, it is SOOO frustrating getting randomly kicked, especially if your a human and doing really well.

Also when the server is quite i see people coming on then getting kicked 10 minutes later. could we try it at 350, and if its to slow bring it down to 300. I do play this server a lot, and have played it loooooaaaads in the past, think i've been a player here for 3 - 4 years now, on and off like.
