Time Warner offers a cable broadband package called 'Road Runner Lite' which is a little cheaper than the standard cable internet from them but has the speed capped at something like 768kbps down/128kbps up, like most flavors of DSL
this has been just fine to me for most of my online gaming (i play a lot of team fortress 2) but it doesn't seem to be enough for Spiral Knights since i end up with a 5-second delay while I'm playing
my neighbor is paying $X/month for the full service (also through time warner cable), and if i switch to his (unsecure) wireless it plays just fine, smooth as you please
what's the official internet speed requirement for spiral knights? is my problem the up or the down? will i need to stop being a pansy and cough up the extra $5/month to more than double my bandwidth?
I'm curious if anyone else has this same bandwidth and what experience they have?
Also Benemas there is also the small chance it could be your own wireless router, try and see if using a cable instead will make a difference, maybe try it briefly directly connected via a cable to the cable modem if it's separate from your wireless router. And also you could try to power cycle your modem and/or router as well to see if this makes a difference.
How frequent is that 5 second delay?
Try and run both a virus scanner and a spyware scanner to rule out something eating your bandwidth.
