Recently, I got a different view of PS3 online gaming LOL :love:.

People saying you must have a 10 MB ADSL line = Got that.
Our 10 MB speed ADSL Line is quite above some countries.

We are up there. OK Not yet.

So is it really the ADSL Line speed or the connection. Is our ADSL connection so crap that most day Black OPS i got 2 bars:twisted:. And when playing local it shoots up. :D

Why can't someone just give us decent connection to the rest of the world?

Yes, We can download somewhat fast... ;) 950 KB's on a 10 MB ADSL Line

Then what about the online games for some people out there :wtf:

Click to expand...

You need an unshaped connection for anything else. Also you should be playing Black Ops on PC. You'd be getting pings under 100 as MWEB hosts it.
 
If you're connecting internationally, you'll be sitting with *Minimum* 200ms ping, which is too high for any FPS and most "Console'y" games.
 
As was pointed out, no matter how fast your internet connection is, you cannot get your ping any better than 200ms...unless you somehow move the UK closer to us somehow.
