Quake needs a continuous uninterrupted flow of data to play good,
whereas web/net surfing can have short interruptions without the user
noticing anything. There is probably some sort of problem with the
Chicago pop as IBM overall doesn't seem to have a problem (especially
the backup#).

Curious... Quakeworld is made so that the speed of the connection has
nearly no effect, so how can it be unplayable? If it was regular Quake
than thats a different story, but I can even play Quakeworld relatively
good on AOL! Have you tried the new version of QuakeWorld (2.0)?
