I have been threatening an anthrax war with verizon for over 3 months now with my DSL line. Finally everything has been resolved with them and my DSL is back to normal. Unfortunately I am still suffering "hiccups" while playing DP. What these "hiccups" refer to is a 1-2 second up to 3 sec hesitation and then gameplay resumes. These occur to as often as 30 seconds to 1 minute apart. I suffer none of these in TF2, and assorted other games. Xile experiences the same issues as me and him being Canadian and I being USA takes the routing assumption I had and eliminates it. So i was just curious if other users experience this kind of issue and if there are any tweaks to the game that I could do. Being old-school all I have done to the game is add toss gren binds to mouse4 and Q, and my name. Aside from that it is just an installed copy of the game. I average 400+ FPS so hardware is not the problem. Just can be frustrating. Just kind of tossing it out there as I am "old-school" and simpleminded when in reference to DP tweaks.
