Need your help.
After having Call of Duty 4 chew through two revivals of my cybersmart account I am now needing something to quench its terrible thirst. :p

This is is where Local Adsl comes in.

1. Will connecting local only allow me to play Call of Duty 4 online on the SA servers?

2. If No, will I have to set up route sentry?

3. If I have to set up route sentry, is this a relatively simple process?

4. If Local ADSL account is indeed the way to go, and it works with Call Of Duty 4 easily along the lines of the two above mentioned methods of connecting what provider is best? I have looked at openweb and thier R69pm deal for a 10gb limit sounds relatively good, but it is IS so will I lag on the SAIX servers?

All help will be appreciated fully :D

Yeah, it usually works fine with no international access. Punkbuster occasionally gives some problems, but then it does that regardless.

If your ADSL router is in bridged mode - or you know how to put it into bridged mode - then yes, it's very easy.

4. If Local ADSL account is indeed the way to go, and it works with Call Of Duty 4 easily along the lines of the two above mentioned methods of connecting what provider is best?

Webafrica or Openweb are good. I prefer Webafrica's online control panel for your DSL accounts - I think IS local is the same price.

And no, IS local won't lag on the SGS servers. (At least no more than SAIX does.)
