What are the specs on the 2U? Unmetered service does tend to be more expensive, but in most cases you're better off with a fixed bandwidth cap unless you're using enormous amounts of data. And by enormous I'm talking about ranges well above 2 terabytes of transit per month.

Re: WOLFServers - Our New Battlefield Partner

The conquest server appeared yesterday and I can connect, but my pings are about the same with or without the GameRail connection.

It's a Compaq DL380, dual CPU's, used as a combination web/forum/game/TeamSpeak server. Mostly Tribes 2, but thinking of adding ET:QW when it comes out.

Re: WOLFServers - Our New Battlefield Partner

I have tried everything to fix my lag issues. I have good ping on the TG servers, but I always seem to lag when coming into contact with an opponent. I bought a gaming router from DLink and I called Brighthouse constantly. They even found a rats nest in a box on the line. I still had lag. I had Roadrunner raise my service to 10MB down/1 MB up and I still had problems with lag.
I read about Gamerail here and tried it out. What a difference. It is like night and day. I have now gone back down to 7MB down/512 up with no issues either.
I live in the Tampa area and at first, Gamerail's best ping was Texas even though I actually liver closer to Atlanta because Atlanta was the worst ping for me. I emailed them, received a reply and within a few days it was fixed.
It is not perfect by any means, but it is FREE so I cannot complain. It makes gaming a lot more fun though.
