What's your internet speed?

Just a general question to anyone who plays, I'm curious what you guys have.

I'll kick things off by saying...I probably have the slowest speed here. Just tested via Ookla's speed test to get an accurate number: 4.91 Mbps download, 0.83 Mbps upload, 43ms ping.

And yes, that's as good as it gets for me, and usually is much worse, especially in game with constant lag spikes. On most days, the download speed is well below that 4 and usually hovers around 2 or 3 if I'm lucky, but I've had the download speed drop below 1 Mbps at times. Average ping in game is around 70-80ms, and can easily jump past 100-120ms if things get bad (had it in the 1000s before, no joke...). I'd upgrade, but I literally can't and my ISP is legit surprised when I tell them where I live because they don't have coverage in my area...which makes absolutely no sense to me, but I guess I'm lucky to even have any internet, even if it is the slowest.

And before anyone asks, yes, this is via a wired DSL connection, not wi-fi. I have wi-fi as an option, and it honestly doesn't make much of a difference which one I use.

  • @hayhor That's true. It's not really a problem , it works smooth for the most part. I miss the freedom of wifi connection tho, data limit crap is annoying

    @OldTreeCreeper 
    The way its better is that it also shows the speed for different file sizes.
    Some internet providers trottle your internet speed down when sending lower files.
    That's why its my favorite, it detects the trickery of the ISP.

    Just carried out an internet speed test on my PS5 as I've read these comments & my download speed is 52Mbps & upload is 13Mbps & having just played several matches although the ping has been between 20-25Mps in 3 of the 4 matches I was experiencing terrible rubber-banding throught.I just had to quit the game & play Far Cry 6 after that.

    I get between 17-30 Mbps down, on wifi.  Too bad my playstation can't accept the 100 Mbps or so signal I get from the router my computer.

    My connection is below however the servers are laggy af and my ping is between 30-40 ping atm

  • Was at 400 down 60 up hard wired. Upgraded to fiber 1 gb up and down. Still server issues with apex. Gotta love the it’s your internet that is the problem mentality. PS4 or pc I can see in game pings in the hundreds and lag everywhere. 

    I always hoped they would address the servers or release tf3, but I have lost faith in both so there’s this.
