    Anyone around that has or knows anyone who fitted isdn in their homes? if so how good is it? how much does it reduces ones ping? what kind of pings should I be expecting off the UK servers? and is it worth it?....for the record I usually get 250+ping on the UK servers at the moment.
    Thanks for any replies!

    Should cut your ping to around 90 to most UK servers, jumps up a bit to 120-130 in a heavy fight sometimes, packet loss almost completely removed. Well worth it.
