Someone once mentioned to me finding the ip for the server, and then doing a peer to peer connection through u torrent.

hehe. I live in an area where fastest I can get is 3 mb/s downloads and 1 mb/s uploads.

If I lived 40 more minutes east I could get fios. :(

For some reason though I'm pinging between 120-140 to the servers and I'm not sure why. I play the closest server to where I live too.

hmmmm....

There has got to be something I can do.

Router...done.
Firewall....done.

I've tried fixed and dynamic ips and connection stays the same.

Maybe I'm just SOL?

 :D

Check out uotrace  link on this page http://support.uo.com/tech_0.html  -- check out the path /hops time taken to connect to servers.. maybe your local isp has a routing error.

Also make sure your machine is optimised for net traffic... some nice tools here www.dslreports.com

Yeah I checked uotrace and everything seems to be running well. The weird part is the average ping on my end is around 76 ms. However, on the 2d client it says my ping is anywhere from 120-140. Which confuses me, but then against I don't know much about networks and such.

I'll def give some of those tools a try. Thanks.
