While browsing the Halo 3 forums i came across this very useful broadband speed test, it allows you to check your connection to around the world. It gives you download and upload results as well as your latency result to your chosen area. For instance i checked mine to the nearest which is Maidenhead and results were a ping of around 50, checking with results to New York which gave me a ping of around 120.
With these results it made me realise how far internet speeds have got to go before a real online experience can be found which will represent true gaming skill. So when someone won't die i suggest we don't jump the gun and blame the player for having a poor connection (unless your really annoyed)
On the other hand it seems Halo 3 has greatly improved with their latest update to the game which improves the melee system and some latency problems. For more info on that head over to bungie.net
For speed test website head over to www.speedtest.net.
Happy Gaming
