After my old ISP, verizon sold out to Frontier Comm. my dsl has plumited to near worthless. Upload streams at 0.315 and upload is 0.415, that is their idea of a hugh speed dsl connection lol. I played eve using satellite connection before back around 2005 and havent had much issue with it. For what I do it worked nice, but elevenn years has passed and I would like to know if it is still playable via satellite?

I have been going round and round with frontier i. Trying to get the matter resolved. Thanks in advance for your time and answers.Cool

That crappy DSL is still probably better than any satellite ISP.

Especially since the desync monster has returned to EVE.

One tiny problem. The client wont shake hands with the server. I keep getting that broken page icon that replaces the login window.

I Use Dish. Have very few issues, and the ones i do have come from not enough band. So, i can run 2 clients (never tried more), and maybe watch youtube. However, as soon as some one (those darn kids!) plug in an iphone, and it starts to sync, its totally and compleatly useless till that is done (can take an hour if the girl child had another 10k selfie day). The connection time/ping to the server is about 240 for me, on the west coast. About the same as any other type of connection over here i think (I used to have cable in Alaska, and had a 1200 ping for years, this is great compared to that).

Its fine if its not being shared, is what i'm sayin. i think i have a 10/1 connection or something. not very fast.

Satellite internet - serving the United States and various parts of sub-Saharan Africa since the 1990s.


:P



As Doc said, on paper, any DSL connection would be preferable to satellite, given the latter's appalling latency and high ping times. Nonetheless, if that's what you're stuck with that's what you're stuck with. Presumably a 4G/LTE hotspot option isn't on the cards?
