Thats all good, tho I have posted the tech question exactly where it is suppose to be posted and I sent a support ticket in more than 24 hours ago, I am glad there are alot of peers here that would be willing to help with computer issue but im pretty sure they can't help with account issues, and besides I don't pay them I pay Cryptic for support so I realy shouldn't be refered to another consumer with a problem that Cryptic Techs should be handling, no offence to the other players, I just expect better support for my money, they could have at least responed saying they got the ticket, or even to say there not sure what the issue is, this way just seems like there ignoring us, meanwhile we sit waiting for a responce to a product we can't use. Ya that makes people want to run out and buy more games by Cryptic. sry but I am a little PO'ed
Tech support does not handle billing issues you have to sent the ticket to billing. if you sent it to tech support it may be a while before it get transfered to billing which only works mon -fri 9am to 5 pm .

The highlighted comment would lead others to believe that your issue is of a Billing support nature as Tech support does not have the means to assist with account issues. I did how ever look at your ticket and if you are having connection issues this is a place where people are more than happy to assist you. Copy/paste the results of the following tests.
Run a trace route:
* Click on Start
* Click on Run, or if using Windows Vista just skip to the next step
* Type cmd into the dialog box and press Enter.
* In the window that opens type "tracert patchserver.crypticstudios.com"
* Check the speed listed on the return
If you see any hops over 180ms, this could be the cause of the rubber banding.
How to acquire, run and read the Nettest tool:
Go to http://files.champions-online.com/nettest.exe
Download the application and run it (Windows 7 and Vista users make sure to right click the icon and run as admin if you are having issues with the tool running.)
The Nettest tool checks that the ports required for patching and playing Star Trek Online are not blocked or filtered. Good values returned from the Nettest tool look like:
Column 1 and 3 have values around 500 kb/sec (outgoing/incoming), column 2 has values around 20 kb/sec (transfer rate). If the values in these columns is less than what is expected you may have filtering or blocked ports either on your personal network or from your ISP.
And one should read what a forum section is before posting in it.
