Mobhunter reports on editting the Datarate.txt file
Over the years there has been much debate about the correct value for the DataRate.txt file in the EverQuest directory. The default setting is 5.0, which was designed to work well with the dial-up connection that was the standard at the time of EQ's release.
With the explosion of broadband, of course, many users have advocated bumping this number up considerably, even going so far as to recommend a value of 20.0 or more, believing that even if the setting didn't go that high, at least you would get the maximum throughput you could. Turns out this thinking was entirely inaccurate. Finally, we have the definitive word from Verant's Technical Help forum:
You set your Datarate.txt to 20? Well, my amp goes to 11.
0-9 is the range for datarate.txt. At 20, EQ will just use the default of 5.
