Okay, Im fed up with my ISP. This has got to be the worst net provider in the world. I move to Idaho about a year and a half ago to a small town of 300 people. The only business here is the phone company, Direct Communications. They offer 512k DSL at $50 a month. A little pricey, but being in the middle of nowhere makes it worth it. However, there is a HUGE flaw. They jew the heck outta me with bandwidth. The VERY most i get is 430k and its never at that constant speed. Playing games is hell, my ping ranges from 100-400 and lag spikes are always consistent. And the biggest problem of them all.....they are the only ISP available in the area. --------------->FTW<-------------- Is there a damn thing i can do? Satelite is too expensive, wireless isnt good in thick weather, and Qwest doesnt support my area. :angry:

What the Deuce Do I Do? I'm Going Nuts!
