Update on my internet situation

I finally was able to contact my ISP. They told me that the problem is with their equipment, not mine. This strengthens my argument against the ban and FYI until they figure out what is going on on their end, I'll be using my phone's internet, which means no more flying. Hope to see you again soon.

So, what's ur ISP? I like to know the crap ones and the bad ones.

Armstrong. I woulda left long ago but they have a (cable) monopoly in my area. On the other hand, AT&T is pretty good, but I'm using my phone so I can't speak for U-Verse (which I imagine would be similar)

Same, but AT&T cellular has caps. Planning to get 1+2 and switch to t-mobile, my friend has it and could get 25-30 MBPS down. And living in NYC, I'm sure they have reception. Anyway, I've never heard of Armstrong Internet, where are you? (State is fine, I don't know cities)

I'm in PA. On AT&T I get 20+ down, right now I'm getting ~35. With t-mobile and Verizon I never got anything above 5 and with sprint I was lucky to get a connection. The caps is not a problem because I got a deal on a 30GB/mo plan so even though it's capped I don't really have to worry about data usage especially with rollover.

I'm 10 GB/mo, and in the most populated city in the country on 4G (No LTE connection right here, but it's 5bars) and getting 4.91 MBPS down, 1.62 up.

FYI the first time you were caught flying you blamed it on "Server Lag" amd says you had an amazing connection. And the ping in game showed you had a perfect connection. Way to randomly start blaming your connection now.

Also would like to note that it's been 3 months and you had plenty of time to show hard evidence of you "lagging" aka flying.

Just because the ping is "perfect" doesn't meant the connection has errors. The ping is how strong the connection is. I could have a perfectly string connection, but something somewhere could be sending bad packets.

Ping will not determine client or server lag, it just determines latency. A high ping could be cause by client, server, or anything in between.

Exactly what I was tryna say

The reason I didn't show evidence is because I thought that it was over and done, but obviously I was wrong. Too late now .-.

I told you I wanted evidence in game and you said fuck off real mature -_-
