Nah I doubt it, the dudes I was playing usually had pretty solid connections with me in the past. I heard we were getting an internet upgrade really soon without having to change services, so I'll try again when that happens.

You should try pingtest.net and speedtest.net, and see what you get.

For comparison, I get around 35 MBPS DL and 6-8 MBPS UL. Pings around 30ms for stuff near me, 60-80ms for stuff on the opposite side of the country.

EDIT: ggs gold, although when I fight you I feel like my char's got bricks tied to his feet xD

Why do randoms insist on plugging in mics just to start bitching.

Sounds hilarious.

Hmm....

Ouch, hopefully your internet upgrade will help that UL speed.

I know that upgrading to DOCSIS 3.0 will help with UL speeds, because it bonds multiple UL channels (DL channels too, but DL is usually less important for gaming)

Some random brand I've never heard of, Sunny something or other.

lol I removed that question from my post cuz I saw it right on that image and felt like a tard afterwards xD

Here's mine:

In order of importance I'd say it goes Ping, UL, then DL. Ping being the vastly most important factor, but speed matters too.

Let's hope that internet upgrade of yours means your getting upgraded to DOCSIS 3.0. It made a big diff to my connection (I upgraded after moving out into my apartment)

So is Lower Ping better? Because my Ping is way higher than yours.

[HexaNoid]

The lower your ping the better, yeah.

And GGs, Luna. Regardless of Eurolag. :3

[mAc Chaos]

Ping is basically your connection response time. How long it takes to send some data and get it back.

[Ctrlaltwtf]

Best analogy:

DL/UL Speeds: How fast you can talk to me.

Ping: How far apart we are standing, and how quickly I can hear and understand what you're saying.

Packet Loss: You talking to me on a walkie talkie that keeps cutting out and I have to ask you to repeat yourself, this is the most crippling thing of all in online games.

They're both important, but ping is definitely more important. Games in general require very little actual bandwidth, but they need super fast communication (people hogging your bandwidth slow you down because there's no "room" for your requests left, we're talking milliseconds here).

A strong DL/UL speed is necessary to facilitate a good ping, but ping eventually will decide your online fate.

[mAc Chaos]

Wouldn't ping be how FAST you can talk, and download and upload how MUCH you can talk.

Well, either way you get the idea.

Well, to argue the analogy, imagine we're standing on opposite sides of the grand canyon and you bellow "FUCK YOU YOU LAGGY SCRUB" as fast you as can. I'll eventually hear the words just as fast as you yelled them (your UL speed and my DL speed are fast enough), but I'll hear it like 5 seconds later (our latency is too high).

Although knowing you it'd probably be more like "STAY MAD"

[LunaKage]

OK cool, I'll check again after the upgrade.

Hopefully it doesn't become completely ass+1 instead of just completely ass.

If they do upgrade you from DOCSIS 1.x or 2.x to 3.0, they'll probably give you a new modem too.

That's always fun...

Oh, and I suppose it's worth asking: Are you wired or wireless? Wired will kick wireless' ass any day of the week.

Edited December 19, 2012 by Ctrlaltwtf

[LunaKage]

Always wired, Chrono usually uses wireless, but I made sure to bring my own ethernet cable and shit.

[Ctrlaltwtf]

Always wired

Good man.

[LunaKage]

I've been known to go on long tirades over the mic when I find out my opponent is using wireless.

The tirades generally don't make sense, it's just my own retarded brand of humor.

Making sense isn't a requirement of being on the internet

Fuck it I'm gonna set up another room. It's my weekend and I can't seem to stop playing this game :/

Wanna play some matches Ctrl. I was drawing some Christmas cards but I'm done for now.

Yup, it's the weekend for me too. I'll be on in a bit.

[Ctrlaltwtf]

It involved:

1) Winning on Haku-men by using 6C 5 times in a row with various delay.

2) Winning on Hazama after taunting Makoto while standing right behind her while she's using Big Bang Smash in the wrong direction.

3) Astral Heat Perfect on Relius

4) Astral Heat on a mega turtling Mu on Tager

5) Killing Ragna immediately after he uses Blood Kain with Haku-men's fully charged 4C

[Ctrlaltwtf]

Conn is insanely annoying. It's just enough to get in the way.
