I run on a cable modem and do not have many issues at all. The only lag I get is in Heavily populated small zones and I believe that is more a function of my 200Mhz CPU and 64MB Ram than my connection.

Subject: [EQ_Necromancer] Cable Modem question

Hi folks, I recently moved to a neighborhood where Roadrunner Cable Modem service is available. I was going to just keep my 56K dialup connection, but due to the phone wiring in the neighborhood (paired-back copper more than 15000 feet from a substation) the highest connection speed I can get is 26.4K. My question is this: Other than the fact that a cable modem connection slows down with each additional person logged in, are there any known issues with running a cable modem and playing Everquest? Secondly, will this faster connection actually benefit me in any way (with regard to playing Everquest)? Thanks in advance for the info. Mujahid 26 Necro Solusek Ro
