Gaming connection
    #18730166 - 08/19/13 10:24 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

Okay I am going to purchase some cable internet that will solely be used for gaming. I've read that as long as you have sufficient dl/ul speeds your ping is the only thing that effects how much you lag.

I'm on a budget... I can get 1mbps down/1mbps up for 19.99/mo or 15mbps down/1mbps up for 34.99/month. Will I notice a difference between the two when playing online or is the 15mbps just overkill?

Make sure it's MegaBYTES per second not MegaBITS per second.

There's a big difference there and a lot of the time they will try to trick you.

If it's BYTES/MBps 1.5 will suffice but 15 would obviously be cruising

if its BITS/Mbps 1.5 will not suffice and you'll need 15

Anyone got a lowpass filter in this biiiiash?

Connection speeds are always advertised in megabits per second from what I've seen. I don't game online but 1 Mbit would be pretty limiting these days for streaming etc. My connection is 5 and it's fine for most of what I need it for. You also need to watch out for transfer limits, some companies will really screw you if you go over their limit and others are unlimited.

Yeah I have a 15Mbps shared connection that works ok for downloading/streaming (most of the time). I just get really aggravated when other people are hogging it and I'm trying to play call of duty. That's why I'm just gonna get my own connection and wire the modem straight to my 360 and just keep using the shared internet for everything else.

Would I see an improvement with the 15Mbps over the 1Mbps? I'm under the impression I won't.
