Edios Executive tells broadband providers, they're holding back gaming

Damn straight, it seems like South Korea is the only real Broadband providers.

I still think the US is in the worst state. One provider for some states is terribad.clyde46

And it really sucks for people that live in the middle of the country, too many games dedicate their servers to only East and West coast only.

Yup, sitting on a 2MB connection at the minute which is the max in my area :lol: BT are cack

When I say my internet is 3mb I mean it only downloads at like 350 kb/s max. Sometimes on something like Origin I can get to 600 kb/s but never in the 1 Mb region

That's because BT will not upgrade the old copper lines to fibre optic, in areas where they don't think it's profitable enough to do it. Which is pretty much everywhere in Britain that isn't in a city centre.

BT suck, Virgin is your friend ;)

I'm on 60mb and it's due to double to 120mb thanks to Mr Bolt ;)

Damn, what kind of crapholes are you guys living in?

The lowest speed my cable company provides here on the east coast is 21mb/s down 2mb/s up, i pay 15 bucks extra a month and i get 60mb/s down and 8mb/s up.

they also have 100mb/s but i think its not cost effective at all considering it costs $50 more a month on top of the basic fee.

I got the 100mb from UPC for only like 50 euro~ So, can't really complain

virgin media suck all there adverts are lies and most of them even got banned.free_milk

Gonna be stuck on 10mb forever.. D:

Recently moved back home after living in the States for so many years and come to find out they have 200mb connections here. Bliss.

2MB/3MB? what kind 3rd world countries are you guys living in. and playing online must suck ass for you guys. and i thought my 20MB connection was bad. LP4EVA2005

City I live in is pretty much screwed, one provider has a monopoly want to use the net you have to go though them and frankly they suck some days the "8mb" line barely beats the old 56k net.

Which is why cloud gaming is completely unfeasible at this point.

Bingo

people need to get their facts straight, of everyone got 4MB/s that would be amazing, there is a huge difference between 4Mb/s and 4MB/s

That always confuses me, and I always forget which is which. All I know is I live in California, and I've got the cheapest internet Comcast would give me, and when I'm downloading games on steam, I regularly get over 2 megabytes/second. Can't remember is thats MB or Mb.

eh

i have xtreme 105 from comcast it's aite

wish the upload was symmetrical but that's never going to happen with docsis

pings could be better too, and open peering would be nice like ATT.

Still, it's pretty good.

You can get xtreme105 in a lot of markets from Comcast, or other isps. You just have to pay.

Docsis 3.1 is coming in a few years and can do 10gb/s and 1 gb/s upload. Of course that's the max.

Docsis 3 can do 300 mb/s on the down w/ 8 channels

I don't see why everyone is complaining. If you want better pings, then that's a legitimate reason, but speeds you can get pretty decent in most places, if you pay.

Dallas has a LOT of dedicated servers there.

See, that's the thing. How much is that costing you per month?

Also I should note speed like what you have is not even close to being widely available. I live in an area where the fastest speed is at 50 mbps, and that's if you're willing to pay for it. Not to mention companies have data caps in place which really can restrict usage. Netflix already takes up enough bandwidth as it is, I can't imagine how far over ATT's monthly 150GB cap I'd be if I started cloud gaming.

i heard japan and korea gets 2x the speed that u.s.a gets.... i wonder why

Why is US so crap at internet?

I get 60 down for less than £20 a month (UK).

I can buy a full game on steam and play it in less than 30 mins, that's faster than going out and buying it.

Their cable service is great but their DSL service is about the worst.

How can I check what the speed of my connection is? I have forgotten how and what it is.

Acording to speedtest my Ping is 19, download speed is 4.97Mbps and my upload speed is 1.96 Mbps My internet provider is Verizon (Fios). With that said, all my devices seem to work fine online.

I have Charter's 100 mbps plan, as they are the only ISP in my area. For $90 it's a bit steep, but since I don't ever plan on bundling cable/phone (Which would be the same price, only with 30 mbps) I deal with it.
