    Default Massive ping and packet loss

    Since I've now learned more about my problem you might as well change the thread title to: Alternatives to satellite internet


    I live in the country which makes satellite internet seemingly necessary. I'm currently using Hughesnet which gives me about 600-800 ping making it entirely unsuitable for gaming. Is there any alternative to this that would allow me to play online?

    It all depends on where you live.

    Indeed. From what I can tell my only option is DSL.

    Edit: Well nevermind. My phone lines don't have fiber optics so DSL is out of the question. Damn.

    DSL in this cowtown is still 2-wire copper wire, no fiber.
