How many seconds are we talking? My current internet takes almost 1-1.5 seconds to load TL

What kind of connection do you have? Are you sure your problems have to do with packet loss? I could use some background info before I could try to help. If you're really far out in the country and are stuck using a satellite uplink for internet, there's really not much you can do as far as latency or some packet loss. It could just be that the infrastructure in your area is stressed. I live out in the boonies as well, and of our 2 in-ground isp's, one of them has further reach, but almost no bandwidth on their current infrastructure. The discouraging part about it is, since many people who live in the middle of nowhere are used to slow internet, there's not much reason for the companies to lay down new lines for just a few customers who won't care much either way.

There are programs to magically reduce packet loss? o.O

TL is an exception in my eyes because they have their own Wizard. But it usually takes 1.5-2 seconds to load TL but most other sites like reddit take 8-10 seconds to load. But that is when it is just me using the internet, when a second person is using it takes twice as long.

Ah crap there isn't?! What the heck did I read the other day then? Argh darn you misleading anonymous internet sources! Is there any glimmer of hope you can give me R1CH?

I have my own wifi tower but the company is small so the internet isn't that great regardless. I'm not positive that I have packet loss because when I run a test at http://www.pingtest.net/ I get an F so it can't even calculate my packet loss.

We who?! Stop taking credit for my genius! Everyone competent knows that the only way to draw out a Wizard is to say something that's so obliviously wrong that they can't help but to come out and destroy your entire world with a flick of his finger and by murmuring a single word.

Also i'd like to add that I have the Diablo 3 beta and I hover around 150-400 ms when i'm the only one using the internet and when multiple people are using it skyrockets to 1k-2k which is absolutely horrendously unplayable. I also have to watch streams on 240p and even that lags when a second person is using the internet -_-

Yeah I know, it was supposed to be a rhetorical question >.<

i don't know if this is necessarily viable but couldn't you get one of those fancy satellite internet stick things? might be better than what you have now.

Are you talking about internet via mobile broadband? I'm not sure what it's like where you are from, but most places here in the US it's pretty darn expensive and charges per amount of data.

When I first moved into my apartment in college, I didn't have cable for the first few weeks and my TV was so old it didn't (doesn't, still have the same one  ) have a digital converter built in. So I had to use one of those converter boxes, but I didn't have an antenna to set it up with. Being awesome I decided to use a paperclip. Unfortunately as it turns out digital reception requires an antenna with greater surface area than old style analog broadcast. So I added another paperclip to the end of it. Then another. Then another. Fast forward 30 minutes and I had a 5 foot chain of paperclips taped up along the wall.
Who needs an antenna?

Run a shell and use text-based browsing, fastest internet experience by far. Other than that, you are limited by the internet you can get; sorry.
