Does anyone here use this network....?

My question is with my dial up at 33.6 speed an I going to be allowed to join games of Rogue Spear or MOHAA?

I tried a different one a while ago and kept getting kicked off because of my connect speed.

No broadband options.

You can probably find a server to join but it just isn't worth it. At 33.6k (and probably slightly less), you're going to have SO MUCH LAG, that any game is just going to be unplayable. With Rogue Spear, you're going to get into situations where you seen an enemy, aim, shoot, but when your modem catches up with you, the enemy would have gone about 100 yards down the road! Why have you got such a slow modem anyway? A 56ker only costs about $30.

I have a 56k modem and MSN claims to also, but when I checked it against a speed check thing I once found listed here it was actually 33.6.tech.msn.com/internet/speedtest.asp

When you connect to the internet make sure that there are no cheap phones, or speakerphones or answering machinces hooked up to the phone line. One of these devices can cause noise and give you a lower connection. When I had dial up I had to unplug my answering maching just to connect.
