So how do y'all think a wide-scale increase in internet speeds will affect gaming? More server-side computation? Supportable server sizes? An end to the excuse of lag? People out in the sticks without Fiber-level connections not being able to play shit at all?
>>255354890
Speed, as in up- and down-stream, is irrelevant for gaming.
lag will stay
transferring more at once doesn't mean it actually transfers faster
will have to keep waiting for FTL communication
>>255355849
>transferring more at once doesn't mean it actually transfers faster
>>255354890
wouldn't you be completely unable to pirate if you have google fiber since google themselves will send you the DMCA?
>>255355989
You can transfer 1niggabyte per second, it doesn't make a difference if it takes the packet a full second to arrive.
>>255355989
He's right, ping should remain pretty much the same.

My city has its own fiber optic service. It's fucking glorious. 100mbps for $55, I could get the Gig for $65, but I really don't see why I should, I'm already limited to what's already out there.

Actual programmer herefor project hate machine, if you've heard of it.
Yeah, latency is a big deal. Server side prediction of player movements is also a big deal; higher bandwidth will ultimately lead to higher quality of online play; if programmers take advantage of it.
Compare a game like Monster Hunter to a game like Minecraft.
In Minecraft they have absolutely no prediction happening; which leads to players standing still on another person's screen in situations of extreme latency; meanwhile in a game like Monster Hunter, you will see the players still running in the direction they were going; and monsters still moving around (be it semi randomly; they are on the right track)
My point is that good programmers will take advantage of having more bandwidth available (and also less latency; as the overall infrastructure improves).

Internet in the US anywhere but the coasts or major cities is a joke.
There's often only one ISP out in the 'sticks,' and they throttle your bandwith to shit if you use more than a miniscule amount. We're paying probably $800/yr for this service.
The only ISP here is Hughes Net satellite, which not only has terrible speed, but I've never once seen ping lower than 700, so online games are out of the question too. Thankfully, I'm moving out in 2 weeks, as it's my parents house.

Google fiber doesn't have a data cap. In a perfect world Google fiber will spread and through competition, it'll force shitty ISPs like Comcast and Time Warner to remove their data caps and up their speeds.
The internet world in the US will completely change when google fiber spreads. Sadly I don't see it becoming wide spread until 2050.
This is as fast as I can get in my area. The provider actually stopped signing up new customers here too because it's actually slower than their worst tier now. On the plus side though, whatever they use to monitor bandwidth usage just doesn't work. I've routinely gone over 1TB/month on a 150GB/month limit since November and I haven't heard a thing.

Video game streaming. It's only a matter of time when 0 latency leads to companies starting subscription based services where you choose what kind of specs you want, let's say based on subscription level, and you can play and store all of your games remotely without having to personally own a rig. Think of the amount of money they would make off of the crowds that want high end rigs but can't afford/don't know how to make them.

it will take at least 20 years before gig speeds are available in more than 50% of civilization. so gaming with other nations will still be shit.
Though once google fiber, and if these other isp's improve their speed and latency by getting faster processing network tech, it can improve gaming a lot for just playing within your city.
In a game like CoD where local players can host, if you ping 3-10ms within your town, it will be pretty much a LAN-like experience.

I'm so used to fast cable that i can never go back to slower speeds.
The only people who will really see a noticeable gaming improvement from Google fiber or some other fiber solution are the people in areas who will not have it for another 50 years. The cable connection that you consider shitty (and they are, by almost every measure that isn't "better than dialup") is in most cases fine if you live near a population center, which are the areas that have any hope of ever seeing fiber.
Sure games could change to the point that they can take advantage of that, but it will take a serious event to change that, and the network will have to be in place, stable, and proven before anybody has the balls to throw their money down on it. And if they do the first few will be something shitty, like the Playstation 8 requires a fiber network because you don't actually buy games, they just stream everything to you as long as your account is active.
Better connections will lead to publishers pushing harder for digital downloads. I wouldn't be surprised if next gen's games are just download codes.
>>255361909

1) Classify ISPs as Title II Common carriers, giving FCC more oversight over their business practices.
2) Force ISPs to share their backbone network, allowing smaller upstart ISPs to come in and undercut the established ISPs (Think Straighttalk/Cricket/bargain cell carriers that borrow from AT&T and Verizon towers)
3) Break the franchise agreements that let ISPs have a legal monopoly over entire cities at states. This will allow more competition to prosper and aggressive price wars.
All it takes is the political willpower to change the status quo.

In that allowance, I'm accounting for sixteen 64-bit (!) vec4s/quaternions (and/or one or two matrices with rows or columns a multiple of that size), plus 72 bytes of miscellaneous player-specific data per second. That's loads.

>Just out of Little Rock here. Only choices here are ATT and Comcast.
That's how it works almost everywhere in the US. Even major cities generally have at most two options, one dsl and one cable.
you guys are fucking retarded, you can only send data so fast, it doesn't matter if you have 10 megabit or 10 gigabit your ping isn't going to change very much (if at all) because games take very little bandwidth to play.
your ping is way more dependant on your location and the routing to the server or hosts.
>>255363995
>change ip huh? I wonder what for.
If you have fios you have to log into the router release the ip, turn the router off and unplug it, unplug and take out the backup battery, and wait about a minute. That's how I do it.
>>255362884
There's also Shaw and Telus, neither of which are any better.
>>255364774
I meant assuming that just because there's more bandwidth that people will get lazy and just waste it. Normally I'd agree, but it'd be pretty hard to waste networking bandwidth for an online game; unless you're just sending a shitload of garbage for no real reason.

>>255364378
well, i hired a 30mbps ISP the other day, and the router they gave me did not change IP upon being rebooted (it didn't have a button, so it was unplugging and plugging for me).
the ISP confirmed me they have dynamic IPs, but that they changed by themselves randomly (also, they give you a completely locked router that you can't configure).
even if i did get my own router i wouldn't be able to change IPs by turning it off and on, so i decided to keep my old 6mbps ISP that allows me to shitpost endlesslyor just do regular posts that happen to anus annihilate the janitor

This state is retarded. Only options I have here are AT&T which is dodgy in service and Wow! (Formerly Knowlogy, and before that Sunflower), and they overcharge for just their minimum package.
At least it's not like Western Kansas. They have one ISP for any place beyond Salina.
Does anyone know where google fiber is headed next? I am a time warner cable technician who is mobile (not tied down with wife/kids) and would like to get the fuck out of time warner and follow the fiber.

That happens to me too, it's usually shitty ISPs but I can't change it.
You guys are fucking spoiled.
I live in a place where internets are generally pretty fast, but I was stuck with 1mbs until 2010 when I could finally get my own internet. My dad was simply extremely stubborn about our home internet, anything better than dialup was good for him since he was stuck in the late 80s in computer technology - he'd only adopt something new if it was a brand new technology altogether (we got DVDs and digital cameras as early as 2000 in contrast to all that), he'd never let us upgrade anything.

They could be trying to get you to drop them.
See, ISPs get contracts from the government to provide internet to a certain area. These contracts stipulate they have to "do their best" to provide the people in that area that want internet with a reliable minimum speed. Now, it costs them more than they make to provide internet to certain areas, but they have to provide it because of their contract. To get you to drop them and "voluntarily" decide you don't want internet ("why the fuck am I paying for this garbage I'm gonna try satellite/dial-up because I am an average person and I don't need it for anything other than emails, shopping, and social media sites") they fuck over your connection to try to get you and your neighbors to drop so they can eventually shut down their service in non-profitable areas.
Alternatively their system could actually just be total garbage.

10 years? 20?
>>255366203
>Baaawww my daddy didn't buy the latest and greatest
Meanwhile everyone else in the thread lives in an area that doesn't even offer anything better. The ISP's even know it and charge out the ass for service that they may not even get all the time.
Try again in a few years kid.
30$/month for this shit
internet itself wont get better till long long after everyone who was born before it was a thing is dead because they only see it as basically a glorified telephone alternative and the shit they use it for does not require more than a MB per second at the most
now considering that they make up over 95 percent of the people with the power to fix shit
hell even people that have had internet for all their lives think that it is just a glorified telephone alternative

The best hope is to expose them to "hey your HD movies don't buffer anymore how cool is that!" but the ISPs keep it just fast enough in urban areas that the large percentage of people can't tell the difference.
It's like people who say "oh you don't NEED automatic rifles" and you're all "yhea but who the fuck NEEDS anything past a cave and some clean water and nuts and berries. I WANT this shit."
>>255367783
You got me
more data at the same time will allow check on more things per second so large scale pvp will run like small scale pvp now.
Impossible to tell how far away that server is from the computer that tested it but 3ms is a really good ping.
