Hey folks...I live in the Bergen County area of Dumont, NJ and I currently am using Bell Atlantic's InfoSpeed DSL which just merged with Verizon and I have noticed that my good 640/90 speed has been a bit rocky this last month and I am getting pings in games like Quake III and Unreal Tournament that are flucating quite a bit like between 70ms-230ms and these pings were never this bad before. I am really getting upset with my service now and am wondering if anyone can recommend Optimum Online cable by Cablevision. I'm getting desperate for a good , low cost High Speed ISP that offers pretty consistent or at least stable pings....Is this too much to ask for? I went to DSL REPORTS.com and tested my Ping rate using their online DR.PING utility and I noticed that my speed compared to alot of others in my area is pretty bad, so it seems like there IS hope...btw besides a brief review of Optimum Online Cable service....can someone suggest something I CAN do to minimize high flucuations in my ping...or am I poop out of luck with this?
Is there anything I should look OUT for when taking the plunge into CABLE from someone who is so used to DSL.....Am I making the wrong/right decision??
thanks all!!!
