playing ET with 3 peeps on your internet

by w0ot • 3 Jul 2007, 20:57 • Journals
My connection is ADSL calculated on the length away from the central
speed:
download: 230 kbps
upload: 35 kbps

would it be possible to host a little lan and plan ET online with 3 on that internet?
tried it with 2 and got around 60 ping on a german server

might lag, but it should be enough if you play on a nice server (if indeed you wanna play ET)

It might not work that well, but follow alpines advice plus you can add some heroes of might and magic series to mix, since you can play those with 1 at a time =).

Nope, they don't! :)

However, I live 500 meters from the central, but since I'm using cable internet, I haven't anything to do with the centrals.

Worked @ ADSL Internet Helpdesk (XS4all) and 2 weeks for a cable internet helpdesk (Chello), so thats why I know it ;)
