hello guys. We reccently bought a new computer and i was excited about finally playing silkroad at home, coz i always play at internet cafes then. We have a broadband connection. I am not a computer or internet whiz so i dont have any knowledge about network stuff. :banghead: I always get lag problems during 9am to 11pm... I assume that my lag problem is caused by slow internet connection and i always curse my isp becoz of this, coz i know i dont have a problem with my pc specs. coz when i play silkroad from 12am to 9am( :( yes... this is the only time that i play since i dont get lag/delay problem ) i can set the graphics to middle and have a smooth game. SO IS THERE ANOTHER WAY OF IMPROVING MY INTERNET CONNECTION ASIDE FROM CALLING MY ISP AND CURSE THEM??? Sorry about how i write this post, i hope its easy to understand.

Internet Connection Tweaking is when u DON'T CLICK on ads that say "Your internet connection could perform faster, please click here".
Try to disable every program that could be abusing ur "broadband", like skype, eDonkey or other p2p networks, or even IM soft, those used to kill my line some time ago.

yah this "broadband" sucks... i envy my friends who plays at home using wifi they say its much faster and they dont experience lag. I cant immediately switch to wifi coz i have 1 yr contract from this broadband connection.

I tried playing once on two pcs: one had ADSL line, other was connected via wireless network to the first one and used the same shared DSL connection. Funny thing was that when i connected sro on one pc, i was not able to connect on the other and vice verse. Only late at night i managed to connect both clients but got dc after 10mins :banghead:
