This is possibly a contributing factor to why I did quite well in that battle...even on a puny 1mb connection.

Korrd, those are disturbing numbers, two figures in the 200's, one in the 600's and one over a second. Now I know why you want to kick your ISP in the teeth, and I don't blame you.

Support is just as bad in Britain, Korrd. For instance, I live very very close to a major internet hub (I can see the business centre of this city through my window). However, even though we were supposed to be getting an upgrade from 1 mb to 8 mb, it turns out they can't because of "priorities elsewhere". They even advertised it in their contract.

Everyone wants to go to their ISP's front door with a shotgun.
