NO! If you can not get any better than 1 down than satellite is an option. Why not? I know the cons, but you can at least play. With 1mgb that makes you internet unplayable I had to deal with it before. I found a better provider, but if that is not an option, what would you suggest? Over!
Thats above average even. In my State we have some of the fastest internet you can easily purchase and it is like 25down 10up. There is the google fiber on a few towns which is stupidly fast but its only probably a few thousand people that can even get it.da hell is up with US's Download to upload ratio
my companies second lowest plan has 40 mbps download and 2 upload. I see Blake here with like 9 download and 4 upload :0 Just find that crazy lol.
Yeah i've been hearing Google fiber is amazing. Hope it continues to grow quickly
You don't put the router in DMZ, you put a single IP/Console in it. This is the easy option if you're not comfortable with port forwarding.
1 down with standard dsl will likely be better than anything satellite can provide for gaming. You may get much better bandwidth but the pings will be horrendous. Pings of 500ms are considered 'good'.
O.k. well thanx for the insight. Now I know and I was just trying to be helpful! Over!
No harm in that and sorry I wasn't trying to rain on your parade, I'm just trying to be real. With satellites around 25'000 miles away its never going to be a great experience.
Better, but damn I hate asymmetrical speeds. You only have two more Mb of uploadNet's been upgraded. Hope it looks better?
My upload's gone up to between like 7 and 8 now after more speed tests. But yes, while it may not be much more, it obviously was enough to maintain streams with a better success rate than before. So far, so good.
Oh its certainly an improvement, but I'd be ideal especially for streaming if you had 16 up too. I think fios is better about being symmetrical.
FIOS?
Fiber optic, aka fiber to the home. Actually I think fios is the name of Verizon ftth. Or like Google fiber if you've heard of that.
