hi
lately my son has been playin his games online. About a week ago he told me that his 'ping' has risen. I am still not sure of what this is but he told me the higher it is the more 'lag' you get, meaning he can't shoot,run and aim properly. I am wandering if there is a way of reducing it?? We have telsta boradband cable running uncapped/128kbps (downstream/upstream) meaning it will download at the best available speed and upload at 128kbps.
Any help would be appreciated
