Yeah there a way to increase your connection speed but it will decrease the size of your wallet . Upgrade to a faster connection with your company and they charge you more money, I wouldn't if the connection you have now works now, than why pay more .

I am currently running the basic Verizon DSL...it has been fine for most play and I have only noticed lag in a room maybe 10-15 times total. I am also lucky because by Mid January I will have my Verizon Fiber optic lines hooked up and will be flying !!!!! Thats right! minimum of 3MB up to 30MB!!! tranfer speeds...the best part being that I am already a verizon DSL customer so it is a free upgrade!!! yahoo...Fiber optic internet is going to rule all!

How much do you pay for Comcast? I might look into this if it is available in my area.

Ha, I would get Comcast but it's not available in my area. I've got the fastest connection in my area now and it's only half of what Comcast offers.

Ive got comcast too i pay i think 44 or 45 dollars a month for it. I think my speed last time i checked was 4579 or something like that.

Ok well when i am in the loggy i sometimes cant switch teams. Or if i want to leave the game i cant press Triangle it wont work. IT isnt my butttons becuase they work fine when i am playing the game. But i cant leave so i have to shut of my PS2 completely. Plus when i first get online and i try to join a game it wont let me so i have to shut off my ps2 multiple times to make sure it works. I cant send messages at all to my friends to tell them where i am. My Mic doesnt work i ahve tried all those Mic fixes but they just dont work. I dont know what is goin on. Please help me...
