Hi,

I'm very new to online gaming and want to play COD MW2 online with my friend in co-op mode, however it is really laggy and not really playable.

My broadband connection is only 2mb, I'm not sure if that is fast enough to play online? I don't know what speed their connection is.

Is there anything I can do to help prevent lag, my router is a netgear DG834GT, the PS3 is connected wirelessly, would connecting to the router using a cable be better?

Thanks a lot,

Julie

2mb I would think is plenty of DL speed for online gaming but what is your upload speed and ping, they factor in aswell. Make sure no one in the house is downloading anything when you play, and browsing the net doesn't help either but nowhere near the effect of downloading eg. torrents, usenet, rapidshare etc. connecting directly to the router is always better but by how much I don't know

Thanks for the reply, I make sure I turn of all the computers in the house when playing online on the PS3, to ensure non of them are downloading or accessing the internet,

I have done a couple of tests are the results are:

Ping: 40
Jitter: 7ms
Packet Loss: 0%

Line quality A : MOS 4.38

Download Speed: 1.94 mb/s
Upload Speed: 0.24 mb/s

I'm going to ask my friend to do the same tests, I'm not sure how great my results are, is the upload speed fast enough?
