Ok, so I've been at my cottage for the past week. It's been great and everything, but today when I went to check my email, I found myself actually waiting for shit to load. Not only was I waiting, but I was waiting for a long time. Don't get me wrong, when I go to my cottage, I go to relax and not use my computer much, but this is rediculous! I shouldn't have to wait 5 minutes for each page to load. not only that, but my macbook pro doesnt come with a modem, so I am forced to use my sister's powerbook.

I'm sure that people thought that dialup was amazing 10 years ago when it was one of the only ways of connecting to the net, but nowadays, i am surprised that it still exists! Oh how i am excited for WiMax.

Anyways, I want to know how many of you, if any, use dial-up on a regular basis. Is bf2 even playable?

Dial-up is sooooo bad that I would eat a turd before going back to it, is bf2 playable on dial up, no way it couldn't possibly & if it was you'd lag so bad youd get kicked imo.

i still use dial-up at home because i can`t play in the university (all ports are blocked), it works but only with channel bundling, no way with just one channel, my ping depends on the server i play on, my average ping is probably 100 - 130, sometimes under 100 somtimes 200, it really depends on the server
btw. i m playing on low details (800x600)

i ve got problems with the lag from time to time, i had rounds with a ping of 200 and no problems with lag, and there where rounds when i had a ping of 70 and the lag was just huge and it was impossible to play
