To my connection. I understand what you say to me with the ISP's. I got the premium ISP from germany (he is testwinner). He is a little bit more expensive than the other ISPs. He gives the lines to the other ISPs in our country. So i think they use the best lines for their own company. Thats why i am afraid to change to another ISP that use the cables and lines from this.
Only way for me to get a little bit better ping is going from dsl6000 to dsl25000. But my dsl-modem is not ready to manage this and i am not ok to buy a new one for 100 dollars and pay 8 dollars more in month for that "overkill"-speed that noone really needs at the moment. Download-speed etc. is limited no most internet-sites and i got good ping on most of my online games (not Counterstrike...GTA San Andreas(you are right, more servers to choose..), Company of Heroes, Crossfire, COD4, Soldat etc. But with good ping i would still prefer your game mikkel.)

Redneck, sometimes they might just have high ping to that specific area where the server is..try a tracert onlineboxing.net, and you can see where the bottleneck is

Redneck most likely it has nothing to do with the server and nothing to do with your own connection. Most likely it has everything to do with increase in overall traffic going over transatlantic lines. One research firm estimates that bandwidth requirements will grow massively between 2008 and 2015, and trans-Atlantic capacity will be exhausted by 2014. We are getting taste of what it is going to be like during peak times if nothing is done.

Reason why I say it is most likely all about trans atlantic lines: I use connection provided by Univertisty network. Basically everything is fiber optics, fully optimized etc. and all this backed by virtually unlimited funding. Goverment institutes such as Universities get direct access to top level domain be it direct connection to the root domain (be it a generic top-level domains or country code top-level domain or whatever) and lot of other things and stuff you can not get no matter what.

As far as FPS etc. go you are most likely playing on servers located on same continent you live on. If you a loaded then host a OB2D server on the continen you live on

I just performed bunch of tests and main problem is way too high packet loss. Everything seems to be fine in Europe and everything is fine in USA. Just something causing too much packet loss when connection goes intercontinental.

@Mikkel and Rocky

i try to find out where my bottleneck to the Main-Server of ob is. Last time i tested it with tracert it was a packet loss problem to an american ip.
I think you are right with that transatlantic-lines theory rocky. The capacity gets more and more exhausted...thats why my ping raised 10 higher than all the years before.
I also tried all different kind of settings on my connection-data (mtu, winpacketsize etc.). But it just changes the download speed, not the ping at all. I phoned my ISP and they told me that my ping gets better with 25000-dsl. So its just a matter of time for me. At the moment they want 8 dollars more in month for that "nonsense"-speed and i would need a new router or dsl modem (and i just bought a new computer and repaired my car..).
But i keep trying to get my ping better again. Thanks for your comments mikkel and rocky.
