Yeah. Upgrade your 2400 baud modem.

I've got an adsl modem with a 258kps connection i don't think speed would
be an issue.

Well, you're wrong. That's exactly what lag is all about, and on a shitty
connection like that (very slow by most standards these days), you will
see lag in a game. It's that simple.

Particular if you're playing on a server that has high ping or bad
connectivity, which will compound the effect.

I had 144 kbit/s IDSL (synchronous) for a while, and it was manageable
if you picked your servers carefully.

So what would be a decent speed to have with an 'high' or 'bad' ping? Where
can i find a good server closer to where i live?
