merryderry 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2004 glad you find my pain funny lol j/k i cld actually play with my mtnl dial up @ speeds of 3-4 KBps. i get better speeds on reliance of 6-7 KBps but it the lag that is the problem... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deepu 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2004 The problem with rconnect is that the speed is not a consistant one... At one sec it will give you 12 KBps and the very next sec it will drop to zero.. I do not know whether there is any solution for this. my ping application will only help to avoid dormancy... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The RConnect speed is well above suitable for gaming wether it is NFS, or my favourite AOE . But if some data is not exchanged for few seconds, the phone drops the connection with the server, ( not windows). This causes lag when data exchange is recontinued. My solution would be to always have something downloading in the background. However this may cause the drop in bandwidth available to gaming Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rashexponent 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2005 I play AOK too, and reliance wll service has really disappointed me in this area. The reliance service is very good for surfing but not for gaming. Prior to it I used normal BSNL dial up and got better gaming experience. With BSNL i had a suitable stable ping, which was perfect for AOK but with reliance it has worsened. May be some day - We will get good broadband with no ping and latency things to worry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
