after a certain point does it matter? do you notice a performance deficit? I'm on a 15$ a month DSL connection at ym dad's but I almost always have the lowest ping when I play a game...(not that a ping under 50 or so really matters, the average responce time of a human is about 100ms) furthermore how do youknow that their server's weren't busy or bandwidth restrained?
Yes, cable does that. specially adelphia; speaking from experience. I used to use adelphia cable... now im on Bellsouth DSL. I get much better pings in CS, but horrid dowwnload speeds from websites / etc.
hum, u might be running some apps that were using bandwith, try closing them, also u might be infected with spyware that affects your conection speed.. bah i'm currently happy wid mine, i have ADSL 4mb/s
You've probably got spyware or a virus. Just run some scans on your computer and maybe defrag it if you have the time. p.s. I'm on 2mb cable for £18/month and look at the speeds I get, what speed is your internet?
try stopping all programs that may be using the internet, especially p2p and bit torrent services EDIT: ds:1906.5 Kbps us: 233.6 K bytes/sec on my plus.net 2mbps try using http://specials.zdnet.co.uk/misc/band-test/ they seem pretty acurate
a ping of 80 still shouldn't affect you all too much, again average human responce time is 100... also add in that at 70-100Hrz refresh rate, you also have "delay" from your monitor as for lag, it's either something you're running or your ISP is crap/overloaded... what causes your lag though is upload speeds... upload affects gaming far more than DL... I can be DLing a ----load of stuff and my gaming won't be affected, but as soon as I start uploading something... bam up to 600....
i have the same propblem...i get like 80s-100 in CS and my internet should be fast since im using adsl
hdsl is better suited for gaming than ADSL... though again at ym dad's my ADSL connection is beyond adequate and is compareable to my mother's cable connection...
Hmmm, I never trust dlsreports for speed tests. There servers are always overloaded, and a lot of the times, it is not very accurate. I pay $29.95/mo for my connection, and here's my results: To get results from a server that's not overloaded and will probably be a better representation, go here.
Im talking with Adelphia right now and the tech says i have a 10% packet loss and right now i got transfered to a Senior Tech
I ran the ookla test, and got the following results: Download: 4799kbps Upload: 536kbps on ZD Net i get Download: 474kbps With CNet Testing, i get: Download: 2637.4 kbps And with bandwidthtest.com i get: Download: 4mbps With speakeasy i get: Download Speed: 4817 kbps (602.1 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 356 kbps (44.5 KB/sec transfer rate) And with Toast.net i get: Download: 3481kbps And, finally with beeline i get: Download: 2048kbps All tests were run equally, so... you cannot rely on tests for your speed. Ask yourself: Do you lag while playing FPS. Are you happy with your customer support. AND are you happy with your internet performance.
That's actually really good........ for 30 a month I have sbc and i pay about the same amount and here is my result jw what internet service do you have?
