Aol + Esf= bad news for me...

[Zeonix]

First off, im a 56ker. Yes, i know. 56k sucks. Thats besides the point (im fairly good even with 56k). I recently switched over to aol for several reason that have nothing to do with esf (i was using at&t). For some odd reason, i lag tremendously when i try to play esf now. When i was on att, my ping was where a 56ker's ping should be. Now it starts off at around 230 ping (that would be fine if it stayed that way), and then jumps up to around 2 or 3k. Changing the settings for esf probably wouldn't work as i have it configured especially for my comp. Why does esf respond this way to aol and if and how can i fix it? Please respond asap cause i kinda want to play 1.2 :S Thanks in advance.

I think its just the way AOL is, since tons of ppl use it and its low cost its bound to have some lag. Its not the greatest 56k provider either.

I too have aol 56k sadly. Yeah the ping can be bad, you might wanna try read here though http://ucguides.savagehelp.com/ConnectionFAQ/Halflife.htm
This site stopped my ping jumping to the thosands all the time

Can you not get broad band at all?

Broadband is an eventual option but not quite yet. Perhaps i will get it soon. In the mean time, aol is what ill be using. Thanks for the help guys.
