High: BSN game with JGDD and TornACL!
Low: We picked up a random pug, and he missiled a possessed abomination to blow me up with it!
I didn't recognize him as a BSNer, but he obviously has some past experience.
How is this a low point, be proud that the pugling is hitting on you. It`s the multiplayer equivalent of a dozen red roses and a box of handmade confetti.
Highs: played a bunch of platinum games with Salarian Infiltrators. Shot so many bunch of fools with my baby Javelin. I love you Javelin, will you marry me?
Lows: well, maybe that one time when the game decided to just put me into a match right at wave 11 after I equipped my best consumables.... really, really salty about gaining only 7500 credits and lost all those consumables ://

Similar low: Alt account PUGged into Wave 11 Reapers, run out of the EZ, banshee teleports beside me as I keep running, suddenly get dragged back almost 10m, kicking and screaming. No extraction credits for me.
Lower: Switched to Fury against my better judgement due to Reaper preset. Host was clearly Australian. I left in Wave 1, even a PUG would be better than a Fury with teleporting enemies and players, etc.
Forgot to mention one highlight yesterday from my first match returning. I got Geth Juggenaut 200 waves challenge complete, followed by machine mastery. To that all I have to say is;
It's quicker to just search and join in progress than host your own. Plus you get a fun minigame seeing how late you join and how many waves it takes you to top the board.
Yes, I'm a big fan of joining GIP matches too. Especially with 3 skulls around. Makes it like a murder mystery. I wonder around like a detective to see what happened, only to find a lone Nemesis as the last enemy?
...host was clearly Australian.....
Hi Ark (not HAN), Distance is not really the culprit. It's really roundtrip time and BWidth that plays a major role. The problem is hosts that have < 6Mb/s connections & > 30ms delays . Some hosts knows it and still hosts anyway. Wth.
I belive they call this a solid line in australia...so might be right you know

You can try to tell BSN that, but it won't work.
As far as bandwidth, it doesn't really play a major role. The official specs for ME3MP are 1Mb/s both directions. I've tested this by throttling my connection down (I was able to get down to 2Mb/s both ways) and ME3MP works just fine at those data rates.
Low - In a game with SalInMR I was messing around with the console and managed to get myself so I couldn't move. I could fire my gun occasionally but that was all. That'll teach me not to make my Quarian 2000x bigger.

1) I knew the Host, they were Australian.
2) I lived in Australia until about 3 years ago.
3) I've had everything from Dial Up to ADSL, all it all sucked like hell.
4) 1mb/s? Don't make me laugh! That's pretty much not going to happen in AU, getting that speed (Not just ADVERTISED at that speed) with enough data allowance (Australia Internet charges for Uploads AND Downloads) to play PSN games will cost you about $160/month.
... the server is involved just to setup , so the rest of the comms is between the peers directly. With 3 peers to host that is 300kb/s= 37kB /s @10% payload = 34kB/s. fine threads = zero redundancy so minor time shift render those 1500B packets obsolete. Lets say 2 packets arrive but is just 30ms timeshifted.... official specs for ME3MP are 1Mb/s both directions.,...

Belt up and be a Bonzer, mate. No need to get ur knickers in a knot over a bloke shacking Fifty k's south of Woop Woop.

+Connection dl/ul is usually not symmetric (factor x 20) lower + field throughput of connection is ca. 50 % of theory...

Lack of Refundancy is really the problem(delay & jitter combo) . BWidth helps to reach@ least the first hop outside ur house
This is why I come to BSN. So someone will explain networking to me.

This part made the most sense for me.
Wait, there are people who have 6mb/s internet?
Wow.
Er.
*50-80kb/s*
According to speedtest.net my ping is 24ms, my download speed is 0.54mbps and my upload speed is 0.63mbps? 
High - I got over 100K with the QFI+Spitfire combo in a game with SalInMR. :S Don't ask.
High - I DID A GAME WITH THE GETH INFILTRATOR 
IT WAS WHITE/COLLECTORS AND I DIDN'T DIE MUCH AND CAME SECOND!!!
Low - Played a game with the Batarian Brawler which was Hydra/Cerberus. Got sync killed like 10,000 times. Still came second.

You should never ever ever ever ever ever host. Ever. I'm srs.
We always like them Aussies, cause they play some fair dinkum Rugby.
You remind me of a mechanical roo I met once when I stopped off for a stubby while driving up the Bruce. He said, "Get off the bloody wicket mate, we're trying to play cricket here!" every time someone walked up to the door of the pub. It was funny the first couple of times, but God help the bar staff.
You can try to tell BSN that, but it won't work.
I laughed. Quite hard. Oh, the collective memories this place has....
Lack of Refundancy is really the problem
Well, that's free market capitalism for you - a whole minefield of manufacturer warranties, guarantees, seller liability, customer responsibilty, wear-and-tear, prohibitive repair costs, terms and conditions, small print, lawyers, jada jada jada, blah de blah
Yes you sound srs. 
Srsly srs. Unbelievably srs.
Just give me a moment whilst I go host.

The sad part is that I actually understood that
According to speedtest.net my ping is 24ms, my download speed is 0.54mbps and my upload speed is 0.63mbps?
Is that ADSL? If so, and if you have slower download than upload, I'd suspect a problem with the line; signal-to-noise ratio needs tweaking, perhaps. When my line started behaving like that a while back, I got in touch with my ISP.
Yeah that's ASDL. I don't think there's a problem (2 ISPs now have given same results) so... It might have something to do with the fact I live in the middle of nowhere.
Yeah that's ASDL.
Antarctic ? 
Pretty damn close. It's got down to -15 degrees C here in Winter. It's in the UK but to get some perspective... the nearest SHOP (not a supermarket, just a corner shop) is 5 miles away.
Ive hosted me3 fine on a .836Mb up. In a traffic monitor it uses about 10-35KBps, and .836 is about 100KBps.You can try to tell BSN that, but it won't work.

My internet sometimes reaches 0.83mbps! Very occasionally.
One time during a very special occasion it actually peaked at 0.96.
Never reached that again.
