Claranet

[xane]

Anybody use Claranet as their ISP, in particular the "Claracall" service ?

Is it any good ?
Does it save you money ?
Can you use Homehighway ISDN 128k on it ?

Yeah I'm using Claranet. I get a good ping with my modem, and this weekend i can try out my ISDN connection. Not sure if they support 128k though, but i haven't checked.

Have to say I've been using ClaraNet for a while and have to say it's overall the best ISP I have tried for online gaming.

One question:

what are the pings like?
Say compared to Barrysworld Dial Up on a modem (current barrys ping is about 150 --> 250)

Pings are as good as BW, I get about 120-160 depending on which server. I find it more reliable for me, but sometimes if I play on a BW server I will connect using there ISP.
