Poor telephone line quality can influence packets of information transferred during a gaming session. USRobotics modems with gaming mode negotiate a V.90 or V.92 speed, which limits Block Error Rate (BLERS), retrains, and rate shifts. USRobotics modems with gaming mode will negotiate the best speed for data transfer and eliminate errors that degrade gaming performance. Data transfer throughput increases are improved by buffer changes, which decrease delays and utilize the faster PCI controller architecture. The overall gaming session is improved and is most noticeable for lines with poor transmission quality due to BLERS, retrains, and rates shifts. The Henderson Communications Laboratory, reflecting standardized delay measurement testing, has verified these performance enhancements.
Operation and technical support:
In order to provide you with the best possible modem experience, the USRobotics Corporation often includes various software packages for you to use with our USRobotics modems. Activision games are frequently included with the Internet Gaming modem. While we are happy to assist you in verifying that your USRobotics modem is installed properly and functioning in your system, we do not provide technical support for Activision's products.
