    well as for those great pings, they're true
    but when you're actualy in the games server, you ping will be higher, because you're sending more than you were when pinging
    as for your ping going up, it's normal for it to up in gun fight's, but I think that 600 is a bit too much to go up for a gun fight, it should stay under 300 if on a 56k

    You've a software modem. Bin it, throw it away, and use two cans and a piece of string. It'll be better...
    Software modems are utter pieces of sh!te, especially if you've a slow enuff computer. They use your processor for various things (forget which), the end result of which is that your framerate goes down and your ping goes up. Fine for downloading, but fa else.

    That'd be data compression and error correction. He's right if you have a slow pc say under 500Mhz it'lll greatly impact performance.
