why my ISP sucks... 

going down for a full day without warning or explanation for no reason whatsoever, causing me to forfeit 1 match and my clan to have to reschedule another, is just lame... and then when it DOES come back im getting 305% packet loss spikes and it's completely unplayable for gaming... all i can say is this BETTER not last til tomorrow...

course this nothing compared to the time we had about 15 minutes of actual working connection for a whole month and they wanted to charge us for the full month :| even tho the reason behind it was obvious as hell but with roadrunner you gotta fight thru the tons of morons to find the 1 or 2 people who they musta like accidentally hired who know what they're doing, and THEY fix the shit in about 5 minutes... too bad it took 3 months to find that 1 guy last time...

i need a LAN partner in houston =\... this roadrunner bullshit is beat...

Re: why my ISP sucks... 

hey wow so today im getting no packet loss BUT MY PING IS 2-3 TIMES WHAT IT SHOULD BE!

we played a match on a DALLAS SERVER! 4 HOURS AWAY! and i was pingin 115! then 2nd round we had to play on a St Louis one!!

luckily it seems to have been sorted out tnight... i guess a router or something musta got essploded and they fixed it... i'm still gettin occasional packet loss but ping is back to normal...

SO OF COURSE I HAVE NO MORE MATCHES FOR AWHILE >:|
