internet service type
 

tell other so no one find out the hardway

1.) dish network internet (hughes net internet) (home> satellite internet> earth back again)
they say its fast as 4g, this is not so their ping is 500ms-800ms ping, not counting if it over case, cloud cover, stormy out side. not totally bad to watch video but it may hang a bet reconnecting.
btw i seen it go as low as 16kb speed at speedtest.com

2.) dail-up internet service can be 300ms-1200ms pings lucky you be connect 2-3hrs you may get bump off.

3.) cable service internet 25ms-120ms not to bad for playing game, but not great to host game on ether 8players ok, but more may lag a bit.

4.) DSL unknown to me

lower the xxx.ms ping be better its for playing games online

no id how cellphone be on ping for internet, but i think it be costly unless you play games after hours or air time may charge could be high $$$$

anyone like to add to this go for it

btw my system is wireless

btw this is Hughes internet, speedtest.net (been re-branded as "dish network internet")

Rated A unlimited (internet) data steam
cable service in general not that bad
========
unlimited dail-up internet service general avg 2-3hrs connection time, avg 350ms to 900ms (most part around 350ms) ping
but download and upload speed in-general sucks

gamers using internet service should check around before thinking of playing any games online and see what will do them the best

what type of internet service is that? DSL T3

I just moved into my new house... My internet is pretty slow again at 5mb/s and 0.5/mbs upload.... The only thing out here is DSL so far. Cable is only two blocks away but it's probably a couple years before we see them in the area. I hope it's soon because I really miss my 50mb cable connection!

It's 100/100 fiber connection :)

My speed was guaranteed as 30 megs. My ISP is COMCAST.

That is what I get ... unless I upgrade to business class.

I usually get a ping of 17 ms.

I guess I get what I pay for.

But compared to Hellfighter ... I shouldn't complain.

As an edit ... I did upgrade my router ... I added a duel channel 5 gig router. It did make a difference in my gaming !
