anyone trialing adsl ?

What sort of gaming pings are you managed ? What sort of preformance, and routing... is it any good like or just one step up from shabby isdn....

dont think anyone would give info out like that if they were on a trial. Most telcos put them under strict non disclosure agreements about the service.

PHB

A secret trialer told me

60-70 on UK servers
90-100 on Irish
or it might have been the other way round

rah, bog standard isdn can do 40 on uk servers and 25-30 on irish servers

Yeah, but interleaved DSL connections can be about 40-50ms slower than ISDN
, although those figures still seem a little high

according to what i've heard from people using it in the uk, the pings are about comparable to isdn.

however, download rates go up signifigantly. This is based on 512k down/256k up adsl.

A little birdy told me that I *cough* i mean u can get with my *cough* i mean a 512k line about 50 k/sec download, and with a 256k upstream, u get about 25 k/sec upload

Pings to ireland are about 60-70, uk are about 80-90

General browsing is SH*T fast

P.S. U didnt hear nuttin!.... right!

DSL is notorious for this kind of problem. Usually, the solution is specific to the local telephone network, and has to be worked out by the telco by testing and tweaking real connections.

SO with a bit of luck, by the time they launch the damn service, this will have improved
