Default Can you beat this ping?



I know dial-up isn't supposed to be fast, but damn, how much slower can you get?

Wow, even with GW + iTune + Skype + Msn + Guru, I didn't get that much ping, and my connection is rather bad...

It's actually rather easy even if you have broadband. Improperly configured Router, Firewalls, Or A-Net themselves can all be products of such bad ping, my laptop had over 100,000 ping before.

Also there was another thread about this, it was like ''Post your bad ping'' or something, I'm too lazy to dig it up, and going to bed right now, It's midnight.

I had somewhere between 30 seconds and a minute once when I was clearing charr in pre for the first time with a level 2 ele and a level 5 ranger buddy (going Postal Kaboom) but he was patient and we went on to win.

I have never gotten that bad of a ping but you guys have my FPS beat by a mile. I get consistent 30s with a 256mb card. I think my highest was like 50k once on a really bad lag spike. Though it may have been higher once when I didn't bother to check it.

lol I get up around 50k sometime. Seem to randomly get one of those days where every few minutes is a huge lag spike.

The most fun is when my brother pings me on the same LAN and we get negative pings. People on wc3 are like ZOMG WTF11one!11!!one
