Is this just a UK site?

It's global, so it will just pick a server closer to you

Is this just a UK site?

Nope. just choose a server near to you.

I'm not dumb enough to belive everything I read on me screen thats why I like to get an informed and expert opinion from the folks here.

If the game's "server" is based in MK, than I wouldn't bother unless they have a nice super-dooper-scooper-server.

Too many variables to hurdle over ... try it and see.

I can't get the test to work, but I play online games, no bother jimmy.

Hi V_R,


Really interested to know how you got your ping that low? Mines around 28.

 

[V_R]

Sorry been away for the weekend.

AB, You should be ok tbh, most games use only tiny amounts of bandwidth.

Wiz, fastpath.

Ahh yeah fast path I was thinking about asking BT to change to me over to fast path. Apart from the lower pings have you noticed any other differences?
