Zero,
The old forums had a thread on them, which you were the original poster on, that discussed the various settings to fix your rates and get the lowest ping.
I know it helped me to fix my rates when I first started on the IBIS servers.
Do you still have that write up?
Would be good to post up again and sticky. When I see someone in the pub or gg, and they have horrible rates, I generally tell them to visit the forums and read that thread to get their rates fixed rather than explain it to them in the game.
Anyways, just a suggestion.
