Editing ini to increase connection speed

Saw this on the main forums. Reports all seem to be very positive.

https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/429302-Editing-your-userprefernces-ini...

Find your userpreferences.ini file, usually located in My Documents, Dungeons and Dragons something, etc.

Open it and scroll down to NET

Input your own number for ConnectionSpeed.

Note that the numbers here are very low, like very. I have a 30Mb cable line and put 5000 there with no problems.

Discuss.

We'll know it has merit when Chai comes in to let everyone know that it's bullshit.

Wow.  This worked.  My characters load up much faster.  I wonder if the part of the code for their autodetect is fuckd.  Cause this was MUCH faster.

Or they didn't want people to know it because it will cause issues on their servers.

Wouldn't it be fitting if this resolved the issue with Mabar lag?

That's my bet because yeah, I saw great improvement as well with this adjustment.
