Cable is still hellish to connect to, but that's not really a surprise, at least they've sorted the disconnection problem.
Tried to play Q2 over a proxy today, it was slow. I think some of that may be due to the pings on cableinet. In Gamespy I get about 180 to 190 which translates to about 230 to 250 in game, and that's what I got.
Unfortunately (?) I've been playing with in-game pings of about 160 to 180 for the past year, so it's hard to adjust. Also the connection to the server seems very unstable, with a fair amount of packetloss and PJOD. Ach well, it's free.
Apparently the CMS is very short on crew so those of us who haven't returned may be asked to go back. I find it kinda amusing as we were always told that we weren't indispensible and now they may have to ask for us back. Teehee! :>
Word of the day: Embarasment
