[DRM-related] How good is your internet connection?

theluckyone17 · 02-26-10, 06:58 PM

Goes down maybe once or twice a year. Usually it's the power that goes out before my 'net access.

I guess mine falls somewhere around average...

What is the point of showing off out high speed scores here?
Oh wait - so Ubisoft can say see most people won't need to worry, cool idea.

Thats kind of how it is for most of us though, and they are well aware of that, hence their decision to go with DRM.

Most people that can afford to play modern PC games, often have a solid broadband connection. If you dont, well you cant really expect the entire industry to slow down for you, because it wont.

But if complaining on a message board makes you feel better...

Good job putting that 50 cent certificate to work, way to show support for players without broadband with a thread like this, you deserve a star.

128kb/s=16KB/s=ISDN speed.
and no financial way to improve my situation

Hell, why not:

It may not be the fastest, but it'll do.

I still hate the DRM.

Even though I meet Ubisoft's requirement for a constant high-speed connection, I ***WILL NOT*** put up with their DRM/OSP shenanigans. I protest their need for a constant connection for a single player game. I will not be purchasing it.

So that's the point

I have a stable good one but also a laptop and I travel quite a lot,
would be foolish not beeing able to play on travels.

I have or had good cable. This year they are bringing in a major bypass about 3 miles from me. A large neighborhood went up down the road and they had our entire road for miles dug up forcing all us to go on city sewer. During this time my cable seems to have been out more than in as they cut and rework cable lines
.
I cuss and holler. Obvious, it's not the full fought of my provider. I've been offered no money back, rebates, ect...I even got so mad I dropped my internet and went to basic cable during this. I use a cheap broadband card. It's be another 6 months until they get done and I tire of the excuses.

Just think, I could've bought the game and seldom played it...I may buy it later in a bargain bin, but even when my cable gets worked out I wouldn't as a matter of principle.
