    when i run Vent and CoD2, and when someone talks/i talk i lag like shit in the game.. i run on a 256kbit/64kbit connection, i pay about 90 bucks for it (internet here is expensive) i think im able to move up to 512/128 connection.. would that help? i mean my connection sucks and if i want a 256 ul speed ill need a 1mbit/256kbit connection which costs about 210 usd.. what should i do? i mean it was fun hearing you all on vent and talking with ya, its way more fun then chat in the game

    any suggestions? would a 512/128 connection help?

    thanks in advance

    i have the same problems. you can ask anyone on vent, they will tell you my voice lags on their end by 20-30 seconds.

    my solution is to turn off xfire, msn, firefox, utorrent, peerguardian, and any other app that might use the net.

    also check your router to see if any settings might cause unnessecery packet routing...

    then call your ISP and bitch, sometimes thats the only way to get shit fixed...

    ask to speak to their supervisor, and when she comes on ask to speak to hers....

    My ping jumps way up even when I have MSN running...

    Lag is normal for others to hear you...

    kr0me my upload speed is 64kbit and download speed is 256kbit (which is a max of 6kbps upload speed and a max of 32kbps download speed)

    now my question is if i can use Vent and CoD2 while talking and listening without lag if i would get a 512/128 connection instead of a 256/64 connection

    upgrades are always better, but I guarantee nothing.

    i live in the caribbean, (CuraƧao, Netherlands Antilles) which is next to Aruba (lots of americans go there for vacation) anywya, theres only 1 company here that provides internet so they got like the monopoly, they make the prices and we need it so will pay for it. simply as that.. btw a 1mbit download and 256kbit upload costs exactly 210 usd, if i wanna go for 512/512 itll cost more then 300 usd
