    You all I'm sure know just how unrelaxing a hospital stay can be so I was looking foward to getting back home and into my favorite chair to play my favorite game as the wife explains the surprise. You see while spending some time at the fabulous Baltimore Veterans Administration Medical Center, the wife saved us a very nice chunk of change by switching our cable/internet service provider. So as she is explaining all the bells and whistles I'm popping Titanfall into the console eager to get my Titanfall fix taken care of but at the same time wondering whats taking so long to connect to the server. So I press the X button to get the server list (US east is what I use) and the list is just scrolling by itself... and won't stop. WTF!!! Direct Tv is what we have now which I must admit is pretty cool. Got the NFL package (Are you ready for some football):D... this Direct TV package comes with as the pamphlet says Quality internet service from HughesNet that is just not quality enough to find a server to play TF or any other multiplayer. Now for tonight I'm. Gonna swallow my pain pills, smoke my glaucoma medication, drink a can of beer and take my azz to sleep because I am sad.:(

    Boo lad. Can't offer any help from this side of the pond, but maybe calling them and seeing if they can ramp up the speed may help? Otherwise the Frontier may mourn the loss of one of their finest.

    Aww bummer....but yay for football channels:D!(GOOOO NINERS[​IMG] ).

    BTW I also saved a chunk by going to DirecTV, but kept the cable internet

    Somethings fishy......Even with terrible Hotel connections (.5-1mgb Down and .056 upload), I'll just get a high PING...might lag like hell, but it has never scrolled like that.

    What's the upload speed? (2-3 mgb download and 1-2mbg upload should play)

    Just a temporary hiatus big brother Bruvas. I vow to return... or should I say redrawn.

    Oh yeah, I remember the Niners. Screwed with the electricity during the Super Bowl but my Ravens prevailed.;) I'll check those speeds though as you suggested and Get back on the phone with the internet people but as of right now my pancreas is working better than my internet connection.;)

    What's with your pancreas? Hope you get well soon and get better internet!
    Time Warner Cable is a nightmare for me (business class internet and they called it 'on our slower ends' of internet speed when I was trying to fix some issues.

    Hey Jugger. My "Bad Pancreas" is merely a pancreas gone bad. It does however work better than my internet service.;)

    If anything in the body is worse than Time Warner Internet, then it's beyond hope.
