Gaalgoth Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 ok, so I got dsl a little ways back. It's supposed to be all powerful and stuff, but it takes forever sometimes to load up web pages and in games my ping gets over 200 (ie jk2). Downloading files it's in the 2-300's sometimes, and the lag in games isn't always there, but the slow web page loading is. What is causeing this? I have an older version of explorer, but please help. Also, why is my ping going up so high so often? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 It may be on the server's end and not on yours. If the web page is seeing a lot of traffic, it may just not be able to push enough to you. I have also heard of security and firewall settings creating ping problems in games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Gaarni Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Also, I don't think an older explorer version has much to do with your problem ... unless it's stoneage old. I've got cable with a speed of 1024kb download rate, but that doesn't mean sh*t if I'm hocked up to a server that has only 56kb transfer rate. The lowest number rules.

Gaalgoth Posted April 28, 2002 Author Share Posted April 28, 2002 So now we've gotten from my dsl connection problems to Norway's women. I guess that's connected somehow. Hey, did you guys know that Sweden has the highest suicide rate out of all countries in the world? It must really suck there. I mean, it's like you try and meet up with your friends and you say "Hey, where's Doug?" cause Doug isn't there on time, and someone says "Maybe he killed himself" it wouldn't be a joke cause the suicide rate is so high. But i bet gun stores make a killing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Gaarni Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 Speaking of racing past you ... I was driving thru germany 2 years ago. Going about 150Kph. Then all of a sudden I got pasted by a SMART?!?! And reeeeally fast too. Germans are crazy drivers. !NOTE! For those who don't know what a SMART is, it's - lets say - a smaller version of the Mercedes A-Class, with 2 seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaalgoth Posted April 29, 2002 Author Share Posted April 29, 2002 haha, seems like it. although dsl reports says i'm only getting a 659 kps download rate which pisses me off. oh well, it's still better than the 56k i used to have. hey, speaking of which, you all know of anything i can do to speed that up? like some hidden techie thing?
