I had a friend who complained madly about his terrible internet. He had a DSL connection that was rated at 12MBPS. His speeds never got above 6 or 7, and he had intermittent disconnection issues. He raged for months with me telling him to call the company and not get off the phone until he had an answer, or a tech visit schedule.

He didn't do anything for a long time. Until one day he'd finally had enough and he took my advice. He ended up on a long service call and they ended up swapping out parts at the exchange.

After that day he got pretty much his full speed, and the disconnects were gone.

If someone is getting 170 ping to the coasts from the middle of the country there is something really wrong with their ISP's service in general or to them in specific. My suggestion stands: do some research into ISP options (most people have at least 2 decent options unless they're extremely rural, contrary to your statement) or get in touch with your provider and get them to fix your service.

(But, in general, the point is: just because your internet is crap doesn't mean companies should start placing their datacenters closer to YOU in specific.)

This, coming from a data tech at an ISP.

I know a lot about shitty carriers → Time Warner.. but thanks to (who the fuck knows what) they upgraded their pipes.

My ping from NYC to very very far London is 80. Your high ping is an Ohio problem.

You know you can click a share this result button and have it displayed like this:

right?

You should get more mad at people trying to help you.

I would have said nerdrage, but the term nerd implies some sort of intelligence.

You know that supposedly trying to help is more believable when you don't come across sounding like a wanker, right? YOU DO KNOW THAT, RIGHT? DON'T YOU?

My friend in Maryland has comcast and gets similarly high pings. I have TW.

Force of habit.

It looks like I should give up on playing this with my friends then, since not a single one will look at this game now.

This is a huge disappointment.

I think it is just hard to care when almost every NC acts like a total dumbass. It makes it easy to generalize.

Then there's something wrong somewhere, I also have TW, i'd recommend calling them and complaining
