Keep in mind that storms, and the DAMAGE they have caused to backbones are why you are possibly why you are seeing increased latency. Remember all those tornadoes and the severe weather?

Instead of blaming VALVe, why don't you do a tracert first. And see if their is any BAD nodes on the route. 8) -StealthMode _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
