There are also modems, with issues with max connections. What model is it? It is probably your modem hitting it's internal memory limit rather than an ISP issue, or your ISP is packetshaping P2P connections (Which the steam browser would look like). COD4 and Steam browsers work flawlessly on my

99% dont have an issue because they use the filters. Why dont you use filters? Do you really care that much about other countries servers? I would also suggest that your isp is giving you the raw prawn about the max connections, its just there way of limiting the effect of p2p as i can have

First of all, I don't use filters. I do all my debugging with them off. Although I see now I was wrong on the point about setting the filters and then doing the pings. I was thinking about setting filters after a search that doesn't include a country filter. Either way, setting filters doesn't

You are wrong. If you apply filters, the steam browser send these filters to the master server. And the master server respond only to given filter settings. The response is less than without any filters. So, it's your turn to setup appropriate filters. >I wish it were that easy, sir. You shou

I wish it were that easy, sir. You should do some research on this topic because it gets cluttered with myths and misinformation. This probably affects a lot of people, and applying filters does not make it go away. (as it still pings those servers, just doesn't display them) I've called my ISP

Ok, there is a country filter for a reason (so you dont pull in 10k random server you will never join). The server browser has to connect to every server in the list to get information for it (number of players, map etc) so thats why it is making lots of connections. From memory the server
