Hi,

Was just wondering that since your ping is ping and the same whether capped or not say like my ping is 60 on CS Source whether im capped or not, at the moment when I'm not capped I can play command and conquer 3 online to the local hamachi server, will I still be able to play when I get capped? Anyone on iburst playing cnc3 online and is capped?

Thanx in advance

Sorry to go a bit off topic, but how do I connect to the local C&C server ?
 
dont know how comparable it is, but i can play Call of Duty 2 on the local servers while im capped without any real problem.
 
There isnt really a local server but there is a local hamachi network that is for people who want to play cnc3
 
i rate the data streams will be maxed out causing lag.. cause CnC is quite bandwidth hungry.. i mean an hours play at about 130 megs... is abt 20Kb/s so the 8 might not cut it.. :)
 
Eh? RTS should be light as a feather. Can't vouch for C&C3 online persay....but overall RTS is the least ping dependent and bandwidth hungry of all online game types.
 
Well thats what i recorded playing to europe servers 2V2's... so i dunno.

I play for about 6 hours at times and within this period use about 50mb max (from my stats - pretty accurate). Don't know how or why you are munching rediculous amounts like you are. But I'm sure it's not C&C and its bandwidth requirements.
 
All you've got to look for is the bandwidth usage and whether 8KB/s will be enough, and it looks like it will.

Eg, using 50MB for 6 hours only comes to 2.4 KB, easily safe.

Like they say, RTS is usually light on bandwidth and ping, FPS is a killer, so if CSS works fine it shouldn't be a problem.
 
So you guys are telling me that you can actually play C & C as well as local FPS games with iburst? you guys play C&C online.

Wow hows the lag, how.

Sorry im new to the whole iburst thing was wondering if i should go Iburst or Adsl Telkom style.
 
your latency's definitely gonna be more consistent and faster with adsl so if you're gonna be a hardcore online gamer its probably the way to go. For my occasional session of CallOfDuty2 my iburst is not perfect but close enough, even when capped. I assume an RTS will give no hassles then. Im on a good tower tho, so usually get full speed. Main attraction of iburst for me tho is that 1. its not telkom and 2. I can download poo loads while im "capped"

UT2k4 runs fine until capped then I get a ping of 165 on local servers...

GW lags now and then

personally I would stick it with the TELKOM DO bundle that's out but damn what I'm saying is I'm worshipping the devil :(
