Net connection and ping

[CreativePL]

I'm interested what's your net speed and what's your ping when playing Battlefield and also how much do you pay for such a net?

And I pay FAR TOO MUCH for it, although I am waiting for my FREE upgrade to 20meg

£20 - But thats divided between broadband, land-line phone and cable T.V.

Re: Net connection and ping

See my sig
I have no worries about ping, in fact I can even connect to US servers without worrying too much 100-110 for most East coast servers. Oh and I pay 43 pounds per month and that includes TV and phone.

Re: Net connection and ping

My speedtest- take a look at signature; I pay for it about 33$, so this in comparison to other countries a ****^n Lot

20meg- wow- in Poland the fastest net is 6meg

Re: Net connection and ping

The company I'm with has just rolled out 20meg speeds, before it got took over there was talk that within 5 years it could reach 70meg :shock:

Re: Net connection and ping

That's really crazy, normal user which download and play games won't reach all its net power. One film in HD will download in one second- lol, but the server also have to be some strong
As i see in speedtest.net the fastest net is 23723 kb/s, and 70meg is about 72000kb/s.

Re: Net connection and ping

I'd say it'll get here a lot quicker than 5 years.
Think about how fast broadband has progressed in the last few years. :shock:

But for home use, is there currently any need for it?

Re: Net connection and ping

For home use it's fully unnecessary, it's only usefull for servers. I think that 5meg net is adequate for home use.

Re: Net connection and ping

I did this test Its ok. I would say that it gets me BF2 with no lag on my end. Price is about $40 a month. . . . . . . .Red

Re: Net connection and ping

Wow, poor me on 1mbps!

Can't wait to move to BE, but PIPEX is very nice and reliable.

And f*cking lazy, hence no free upgrade to 8mbps.

Ping is from 17ms (on some CS servers it goes to 5ms!) to 140+ms.

On the low pinged servers, BF2 feels too easy and noobish, but on the 130ms servers (Dallas) it's frustrating at best.

How you can have a lag with your connection. What's your ping then? I have 520kb/s net and I play on Hardwareschotte server(bf2 demo) which is about 650km from me, I have average ping at 56-65- no sufficient lags :nod:

Bastard, im moving to London
This is mine, bout an hour and a half from London. Ignore the 50 miles distance, thats a load of bull ****

Nowhere near as good as yours, but its more than enough for what i need.
As for price, from BT it costs £26.99, which comapred to a lot of you guys is expensive
Yes skaggy, that way ill be able to download even more crap (jks. i download all my music, as an album in a torrent, and i download films every now and then) and ill be able to do it faster
