Fact of Life: After Monday and Tuesday even the calendar says W T F.
hehehe, I remeber during launches first few months having consistent 2k pings on adsl....the 200-500 we have now is a blessing
I think I have you beat. While deployed to Africa I got on 3 box style from a tent over a satcom HSWAN (High Speed Wide Area Network) connection through a PSC-5 tactical radio. Manda Bay Kenya was the closest "town" about 35 miles. Laptop power provided by a gold ol' fashon diesel generator on site. The mens room was a hole in the dirt. It was freaking monsoon season. Oh... and I was stuck with the SOCOM Navy SEALs (yes they have a game, and no until i met them i didn't think they were REAL people). They were of the mindset that if you didnt want to play them at Halo2 for the 50th time on one of the two 19" tube TVs you were... well they just didn't think you were straight, I'll leave it at that. Just giving you an idea of the climate.
Anyhow, it took about a week to get the patches downloaded using a download resume program. If you don't know SATCOM, a bird fling overhead can make you lose connection. The ping time was unreasonable.I wish I could remember the ping times but that was about two years ago now.
