Since the new patch i got 4 wins and 50 losses.
It seems I am a few seconds behind the game all the time and then it suddenly starts to fast-forward. This makes it hard to keep units alive and I am always behind.
I play on a cheap laptop and my internet is also quite bad. But before the patch it was alright. Is there somethin that I can do or do I have to wait to get some new equipment? Anyone else having the same problems?

Yep I am in Australia too, out in the bush. I don't know if I can even call me net dial-up that would imply a dial tone, mine is more like two tin cans with some string in between. Games running pretty good now though TBH but I have a mate having Relic connection issues if anyone knows of a quick resolution it would be appreciated.

Often the problem lies with ISP (Telstra in particular) having blocks on people connecting to you. Try opening ports or calling ISP technical support to do it for you.

I had couple of friends who had Firewall set to 'don't allow anything', internet protection settings on highest and Norton antivirus blocking everything.
It only allows text to be displayed on web pages pretty much, and they were wondering why they have connection issues as well.

Usually the problem is with users settings

If he lives in area with WW2 copper wiring infrastructure areas, than there is nothing he can do. Unfortunately, some areas in Australia are still using 1940's telecommunication infrastructure

Yeah mate its not a problem for me really, yes my downloads are slow but my connection is fairly stable. COH2 runs fine I am just backing up the argument that Australian internet sucks and is only going to get worse under the current government. They will expect everyone to go Satelite so they don't have to spend more money on optical-fibre. Problem is though, sure D/L speeds are great but just one interruption for just a couple of seconds and bang dropped from the game you were playing. Ah well what can we do the country is just too big for the amount of people living here. Could write a thesis on this and get a doctorate on how crap Aussie internet is.
