DavidCore89 7,402 Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Hold on a second, Morecambe?? Lol. The speed test is supposed to ping to the closest server available with the best ping, perhaps after the test you should click 'new server' and then select something in the Scottish Highlands (or wherever that line leads) . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmurko 7,622 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I think there's one in Carlisle and one in Aberdeen on that speed test page that you can select. 1 Quote S U N D A Y R A C I N G L E A G U E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey 1,680 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Going via Newcastle was a bit better. I see the wee man is standing near Edinburgh which is 3 hours drive away from here. I know when BT had that major problem a couple of years ago it was because something happened in Edinburgh that took out the the internet for the whole of Northern Scotland 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrel 5,180 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) My default server was in manchester but my pings were heading over there and getting their heads kicked as they came from Leeds before heading back again which did give me a higher ping.

DavidCore89 7,402 Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Yeah the default server is always one that is hosted by your ISP, you can choose a closer one if required. I didn't actually test to any severs in Wales, default was Bristol. Going via Newcastle was a bit better. I see the wee man is standing near Edinburgh which is 3 hours drive away from here. I know when BT had that major problem a couple of years ago it was because something happened in Edinburgh that took out the the internet for the whole of Northern Scotland Nice. Better speeds on all factors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering how you got kicked from so many PL's on PS3 with these stats . Because of a router with outdated firmware. It kept resetting. Haven't had any issues since it got updated and that was many months ago. Edited January 27, 2015 by Banketelli 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fido_le_muet 5,197 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Tried running the test directly from the PS3 browser but no success. Tried a few websites but the tests don't start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lann 10,838 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) I will run it again when the kids arent using the fibre to watch tv. Edited January 27, 2015 by Lann3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggy 2,811 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Out of curiosity, I ran the speed test on the PS4 (hardwired) and these are my results: NAT Type: Type 2 Download: 47.1 MbpsUpload: 9.6 Mbps Not sure if that's good or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furdog 525 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Tried this using both wired and wireless. My ping times aren't too bad over wireless, which is good as I don't have a good way of getting a wire to my PS3 and my PC at the same time. I've always had my PS3 over wireless and haven't had too many issues yet. Wired: Wireless: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew_Watkins 51 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I don't ever really experience any issues with my internet. This is a test from my wireless laptop, PS4 is a hard line so it should be even better. 7 devices connect to my router. I never very rarely experience lag or get kicked from PL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grjkie 727 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) the server is very near to where i live, the reason for the low ping(can't blame my poor skills on the internet lol) Edited January 28, 2015 by grjkie 1 Quote www.ishare4free.com Please don't be offended, it's a small piece of my mind that I chose to expose...

ronin 596 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Oh no, I didn't mean to help you guys get even better You probably have already gotten used to how it works so it will be very interesting to see how it effects you and if you notice it. Scotty, that TV game setting tip worked ! Changed it back a few days ago and there is indeed a difference. The controls are a bit more crisp, i.e. there is less of a delay between what happens on the controller and what happens on the screen. At first I thought it was just a placebo, but after a couple of days gameplay, I must say the difference is noticeable. For info, I've got a Panasonic Plasma Viera, about 5/6 yrs old. Cheers ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
