"56K Modems..."

Hi there, I really need some advice on 56k modems. I currently have an MR Modem and i use the internet mostly for gaming. When i play UnrealTournament i get pings of around 270 - 300. Because this is very pants i want to get a new modem that gives me pings of say 150 - 200. It would have to be an external modem and i was wondering i would be better off if i bought this modem as i don't know the modem i have is good or bad....

I'd be grateful if people would reply, Thanks.

I use AOL for £15 a month. It rocks. (See my previous comments on it in this post).

hmmmm, AOL are even worse than BT round here.

Have you tried them?

a friend uses it. it takes ages just to load up a web site, let alone play games over. oh well as soon as my business takes off I'm getting broadband.

Good for you. Us teenagers, however, can do nothing but beg our parents for it! Pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaasssssseeee!

what do you mean us teenagers? I'm 15 ya know!!!

What business you running at 15 years old then?

it's web design. i make the websites and a freind's dad sells them through his business. go to L2Productions.co.uk and click on the web design option on the menu. click on the animation and you'll load up my mini site.

Are you going to use something other than frontpage for designing your pages? I use it but you just can't shake that front pagey feel about it.

Get with homesite and netobjects fusion

yeah, i'm currently getting to grips with dreamweaver and 1st Page and then I'll re-do that site.
