You may want to look at this thread for some tips. I am here in the USA with a cable modem and had problem. Reading thru this and changing some settings helped out a lot. http://www.theville.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11934

DoD destroys your fps. Unless you have a very good computer, or just get lucky, your fps are going to be low. I'm on cable, not too far away from the server, have tweaked my settings to hell and back, and I have a EXTREMELY nice video card which I've tweaked as well. With all of this, I get 10-15 fps in fire fights, while in TFC my lowest fps would be 60 and my norml would be 90-100.

DoD is very laggy without all those tweaks. I've done all the tweaks I can find and I still run at about 9 fps just in a deserted area of the map, in traffic, I'm at about 2 fps.

I'm on cable with a laptop and I usually get around 30 fps. Then Donner rolls around and it drops to around 10. As long as I stay away from the tank I can play with it. I'm hoping when my Alienware arrives that will be resolved.

I've turned paticle fx off. I don't know why people say turning it off helps. When I did, my fps were exactly the same. Nothing changed except I didn't have "special effects" anymore, so I turned it back on.
