We have some of the best Network Engineers coming from all over the world to build the lan that is the backbone of QuakeCon. They will be starting work on it 4 days prior to the opening of the doors.
And guess what? Every person that is on the staff and volunteer staff do this for free or actually pay out of their pocket.
And I can't see anyone bitching about 1ms pings. I saw a peak of 28ms ping during peak gaming last year, and thats with alot of peeps running their own servers on the lan.
BTW - Don't bother bringing any Network equipment other than a NIC for your comp. The other stuff will not be allowed in. Leave it in your hotel room. Not even patch cables. We will supply everything else network related.
