How important is a good internet for online gaming?
Also post yours
its important, dont play online.. unless its onlywatch
That speed is perfect for online, your team will thank you for it
>>343874290
Not very. 2-3 mbit download and 0,5 mbit upload is enough, as long as your ping is good.
Depends on the game.
The modern games are way more greedy when it comes to bandwidth requirements than the old ones, because they just assume everyone has a broadband connection these days.

FiOS was supposed to be implemented about 5 years ago.
I've given up on Verizon.
>>343874673
lmao, someone didn't get the memo
Verizon hasn't cared about expanding wire line in any facet since 2009. Including FiOS

Thanks for reminding me how trash my ISP is
>>343874921
>that's mb/s and not mbps
its the same thing. there's a difference between Mb/s and MB/s though
>>343874921
>Mb/s

It's nauseating knowing I share this board with people like this.
>>343874921
Don't worry, almost all of my friends are still on DSL that won't ever get upgraded.
[They all live in the US btw]
Amazing isn't it?
It depends on what you're doing.
If it's a turn-based game, not really important as long as you don't have some ooga booga 0.1B/s upload speed.
If it's a FPS/TPS or something similar, the importance varies depending on the speed of the game. A low ping is much more important in something like Quake than it is for something like Mechwarrior.
If it's something like a fighting game or rhythm game, then it's absolutely important.
I'm in the UK and I get about 36Mb/s down and 8Mb/s up, unlimited. So I'm set as far as online gaming goes.

You can be on dial-up and be good. But if it's fucking broken, having 800 ping on your home server, then of course not.

jesus fuck, you could download the entire internet in a matter of seconds
>>343874290
Not at all. All you need is for the connection to be stable and the latency to be low <75ms). There than that its borderline irrelevant how much up/down you have.
>I'm Australian
Also this post isn't video games
>>343874673
Verizon does not own the wireline plant in California any more. It is all Frontier now. Have you been under a rock for the past couple of months?
$60 so far but going to go up all the time.

Having consistent ping is more important than a fast connection, but it is pretty important
how do i have this kind of internet in a students dorm?
pretty ok
>>343874290
Good for downloading games from Steam for mere minutes.
>>343877097
I guess we're the lucky ones, anon.
It's embarrassing that this is the best this country has to offer.
>>343874620
You better resign the contract and start using an old MODEM if that's the cade. Maybe you'll spend even less.
>>343874290
line quality and buffer bloat are far more important than speed, most games don't even use 1% of the average internet connection's capacity

Not the guy you're responding to, but pretty fucking bad
We just had an election and the Liberals could get back in and give us another 3 years of 25mbits or less speed (90% of the country get less than 10)

You think I care?
12mbps down and 1mbps up with 30ms to the nearest hop
I asked many times to my ISP to downgrade the synchronisation because the noise is already too high and I need sub 10ms to be able to play properly ( servers i'm playing on are 1000km away so you have to add +40ms )
Fuck ISPs, once they become too big too fall they will literally ignore you. You used to be able to call a tech at any time and explain your problem in 5 minutes tops and it would be fixed in less than a day. Now it's all call centers from North Africa and shit and all they care about is your download speed being the highest to look good compared to the competitors even though you're at like 40db with bazillion of FEC/CRC errors in transmition.
I want the early 2000 to come back when everyone had 1/1 with 10 ping in quake.

It's inherently flawed and there's no reason to have it installed in the first place.

Why do you use an operating system, then? They're all inherently flawed and there's no reason to have them installed in the first place.

It's not as important as people think.
The greatest meme ever is this "YOU GOT TI HAVE AT LEAST 50 MB DOWNLOAD AND 15MB UPLOAD TO PLAY"
No you don't. You really fucking don't. We gamed fine 10 years ago when dsl was the standard.
>>343874673
Here's a secret. Verizon almost went bankrupt when they first went with FiOS. They went to too many markets to fast. Comcast said fuck you to using their fiber backbone so Verizon has to install all that shit in every new market.

Do you even know how seriously correct you are?
Pic related so hard
It's fine as long as I don't use any international servers
Fine for gaming and remote work but not much else. Bandwidth in the USA is so fucking slow. I had speeds 5x this in 2010 at my old house.
I wish I had at least mirror'd upload so I could host.
>>343876547
Im Australian and have 30mbps up 10mbps down.
Invest in WDSL mate, unless you can get proper fiber, it's the best solution right now.
I'm not happy with it. Not because of the U/D but because i can't download anything from Google Play store and can't watch anything on Youtube.
Fucking shitfags are "trying" to solve the issue but its been a week now. Downloading game seems to work as intended though
>>343874290
Ping is more important than bandwidth, as long as bandwidth is in the 2.5DL/1UL range or higher.
>>343888343
Turned off all my steam patching and netflix and results are consistantly around this on average
>>343877342
100/100 business plan or something similar.
Which is shared between all students
I fucking love this ISP. They recently upped the download limit for everyone to 1tb and lowered the price permanently.
Unless you're on fiber, or really fast cable there's no reason why you shouldn't ask about a WDSL service through Nuskope in Adelaide.
>>343889741
Forgot my image like an idiot.
6 Mbps dl - 400 Kbps ul - about 20 ping.
Gaming online is pretty good except for Destiny, for some reason that's not enough and I keep getting red bars.
I wish mobile isps weren't so costly. I got 10 GB for free last month and managed to stream at pretty decent quality using my phone's hotspot.
I don't mind 2.5 MB/s, but I wish the U/D were closer together.
>>343889741
>download limit
I'm so sorry anon
