Trading Grounds / xbox 360 w games

« on: March 21, 2013, 08:51:55 PM »

i have had this xbox 360 since august but i really don't use it probably played on it less than 50 times since..  it's in really good condition and the only problem i had is that when i bought it the controller it would disconnect after like throwing it or shaking it.
it's not a big deal but if it bothers you just get a new one cause i did but i use it for my pc.
anyways- it's $1600 with fifa13 and  halo 3.
-wireless troller
-xbox 360 with all the cables.
-fifa13 and halo3
i bought it in NY and really don't have the box cause it was bulky to fit in the suitcase.
but i might have the receipt from best buy.
(will upload pics a bit later)

Hardware, Tweaking & Networking / Explanation

« on: January 12, 2013, 11:56:06 PM »

i have been looking at this site for a while and recently made an account because i have been looking for some flow network tweaks to lower my ping, here are some speed test results.

Spoiler (hover to show)

while i can easily work my way around a pc, networking has never been a strong point or a point of interest but long story short..
in flow's F-spot's (some) i have seen that they get at least a 10-30 ping difference so my servers and other servers
(i have a few game servers hosted in US [Maryland] now i have never bought a good router yet cause i was stuck in a 2 year contract with blink and got flow in August i was wondering...
what can i do to lower it some more it is my personal network,
and would buying a router really help?
and wtf how come f-spot with a lot of traffic getting lower pings than i am O_o
