funny I don't seem to get those bots on mine.
I'm on Google talk as furrynutz.  Even thought I don't Google. 

[Hard Harry]

Not sure what to tell you, maybe they are only hounding new user? I created the yahoo user just for the IM client so..::shrug:: Then when I found they block pop, I just had to ditch them. IMing you now.

So fur, you are not seeing a bunch of lag in MW3?

[FurryNutz]

I did see some last night for sure. Think this this weekend is the first full weekend for the game, I presume there is more people online now so I presume we'll see more of that going on. They updated something last nite and not sure if I like it. Noticed there was one map I used to be able to hide on the down slop on one side and I could be fairly safe. I noticed last nite that I was getting hit more and was more in view by the kill cam. Others also noticed that the bullet impact seemed lessened by some degree.

Odd, I played 4 games of TDM last night and 3 out of 4 I finally had a good connection and lets just not mention that 4th game, lol.

Details for XBL update:
"For Xbox 360 users the patch includes improvements to matchmaking and fix for video uploads on Standard Definition TVs."

Man, I suck at TDM and everything else. 

I'll never be good at COD, my reaction times are too slow.  I went 16-8 on my first game of Domination, then 1-6 on that one where you have to collect the dog tags and 3-14 after that on Domination. 

[FurryNutz]

Practice, Practice.

Ok, for those curious, here is a comparison between the SB6120 and the SB6180.

Bottom Line:
Overall performance is dead even, but with the SB6180 having 8 channels, that performance will no doubt stay more consistent through peak times during the day. Also, the SB6180 gives you much more info on your signal. I especially like the ability to see your configuration file (Speed tier and IP). The one down side is there seems to be a bit of a delay switching between options on the modems diagnostics, but I think thats because its pulling more data for the interface. Considering a SB6120 cost 79-99$, and I bought the SB6180 for 69$, I would say its a very good deal. I will save my final recommendation after using it for a week or so, but so far so good.

Hows the 80 doing Harry?

[Hard Harry]

So far so good. And I think I might not have captured the modem's true performance. I am downloading from Newsgroups up to 60Mb/8MB a second. Its literary downloading faster then I can find....linux distros. :-)

[FurryNutz]

kewl...maybe you should get me one? 

[fraggboy]

kewl...maybe you should get me one?  

HH,

If you can, I'll pay for it and shipping.  

[Hard Harry]

So no one here uses a News servers? Woe to the Doctor that can't treat himself.

[kargo27]

Hey, what do you all think of this router?
