Connections??

[QuikSilver]

well, i was just wondering what your connections were when you play on b.net.
all i want to know how many mb per sec your connection does...check the little screen icon in the bottom right of you screen next to the time...

Mine does 11mb/s im wondering if that is sufficient...When i play on battle net the thing lags...but it does it in a wierd way...it is sort of like intermittent...it stops for 2 seconds then you see the units moving quickly to make up for the time loss...VERY ANNOYING!

Thanks :grunt

I am supposed to have the worst connection of all here, or I think so. However I play well and sometimes even with little lag . I think it is far sufficient.

In the book it says 'Requires 28.8 kbs/s or faster'. I have about 40 and works perfectly. The only problems are my neighbours in the local network who slower it

40?? wow that does seem pretty bad...anyone here use a wireless router?

Your lan connection is 11mb/s, your actuall connection speed to the net is probablly around 300kb/s
As long as you are on a 56k you probablly won't lag. Lag comes from your opponet not you.

I used a 11 megabit wireless connection for about 6 months, it was pretty unreliable. I got disconnected a lot (especially during large, intense battles) and had lag problems. Ran a cat 5 cable up to my room last year around when TfT was released, and all the problems disappeared. If you can, upgrade to the newer wireless networks, I think they are 54 megabits per second, thats about half what your usual wired connection runs at, most ethernet cards only support 100 mbps

my friend used a wlan modem too ...

he lagged all the time... than he bought a cable and linked it to his room ... now he doenst have lag anymore... W-Lan suxx T_t

hmmm...i see...i can actually hook my pc up directly to the modem upstairs by just bringing the router down to my pc...I can then extend a cable from the modem to my pc!
I take W-Lan to be wireless LAN right... :rolleyes
