I didn't say you'd be spamming them, but the pop-up nature is highly annoying if I'm doing something else. The old bay12 group used to do them all the time, and some games don't handle popups well.

I am with you on that, when I am working or something I dont want popups (I work from home). I asked about it once in the thread for the B12 group and I got yelled at, I just didnt care to see TF2 announcements every day popping up. I quit the group.

I want to say this is more the fault of Steam for not giving us a way to turn off the popups. Lame on them.

Brit here.

Britain is ment to be getting an internet boost around 2013 according to the media. -Web connection overhaul underway apparently- think US servers should be fine. No guarantees.

BT will never update they are the Cheepest company ever and they own all the lines and won't update them except if you live 300m away from the exchange, I live in a village 1 mile from a town I get 50kbs download speed average -.-

Unless this 'internet boost' involves moving the continents closer together, I see no way for it to influence ping to US.

[Reudh]

Australian here. We supposedly have had a boost, what with the 'National Broadband Network', but I'm not seeing any increase in speed or availability.

I have heavily throttled wireless broadband, which is all that's available to my SUBURBAN suburb.

A friend of mine cannot even get that, apparently his copper wires aren't good enough or some such silly thing.

Think the keyword was fibre optics or something. Yeah, i know BT are skanks but. their can be hope. how ever missplaced it is.

I'd play (EU), but my crappy laptop wouldn't be able to run it on the very minimum graphics settings.

You can allready get fibre optic broadband in the UK though? It's pretty common depending on your area. I have it, you get like 100-150 ping to US servers, which I guess is playable. But for anything like an FPS it's not ideal.

[timferius]

Hmm, speaking of ping, this may be motivation to get on moving a phone cable near my computer, so I can actually plug in to my router. Sick and tired of WiFi

[MorleyDev]

Virgin Media's internet is pretty decent at this point, with their cheapest internet service still netting me about 10Mbps with decent (though not amazing) ping even on American servers. I don't think any of the other service providers have coined onto fibre optic technology yet...heck, wouldn't be surprised if hooking your PC directly into the phone still seems "new and hip" to them.
