So online gaming is possible with Ogero's DSL.

Only OGERO and BLINKS have good pings...because they don't take the downloads via satellites but from the fiber optic wire in the sea .All the rest especially who have competitive prices and offers download from satellites .

It means you can't keep on downloading excessively or else they will charge you on your excessive usage in a way or another which means you are back to ground zero.

How good are the pings ? If it is a matter of a 100ms difference then I prefer staying with other ISPs but if it is possible to get <200ms pings then I might take ogero into consideration because I enjoy online gaming to the utmost.

I just hope someone can benchmark the pings and report back to us.

Well I was testing my ping from the Command Prompt and I was getting 250ms on several overseas sites with my IDM connection.

With a 250ms~300ms ping time on Xbox Live, things will work pretty well. As for PC online gaming it won't. I read an article saying that the Xbox games are scripted in a way allowing this delay in time or something like that. I don't know to what extent this is possible, I'm not a CCE graduate afterall.

Anyhow, I'll be putting my hands on a new 360 soon enough and will let u know about how is it going to be going online with IDM's DSL.

Btw, like darkstar said, if someone can help us out with the respective ping times of the ISPs here in Leb then I would be very thankful!

I am able to play company of heroes and world in conflict with 400ms latency and they run flawlessly due to their well writen network code.
Warcraft 3 for example has a small delay.
FPS games are ofcourse unplayable, they require a 200ms max ping.
