Squirrel 5,180 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 My broadband isn't anything special Connecting through my phone gives me a much higher speed but lower ping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidCore89 7,402 Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 for the money i'm paying for the bundle (which include unlimited calls back home eerr Africa) and that company goes by the name talktalk, it, surprise me looking to go back to fibre with virgin or bt when they finishing roling in my area. TalkTalk are well known for offering a low speed, but they don't charge a fortune for it, so that's a good thing. They also use 'Traffic Management', which is basically a fancy phrase used for capping your speeds even further during peak times (your test was done during peak time). Just took a look at their site, they don't offer much variety, 1 broadband deal and 1 fibre deal.... The broadband says 'Upto 17MB'... The word "Upto" means they don't legally have to give you anywhere near 17MB and it's very likely that they won't. As you said, fibre is much better, so it's no surprise that TalkTalk can't compete with Sky, BT or Virgin as they have a greater fibre coverage of the UK.

AGNT009 13 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) D huh? Plays great for me. Last crew I played with guys. many from Britain, and they never saw me lagging. South American guys were the problem lol. Edit: Wireless too, both PC and PS3 are about 50 ft away from router in the same tv stand, on same floor level, signal just has to pass through 1 door between its direct line of sight. Hasnt been a problem for me, otherwise Id go ghetto and run a cord along the hallway while gaming. Edited April 29, 2015 by AGNT009 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adsyfindlay 412 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 This is from my laptop which is wirelessly connected, my PS4 is connected directly through a cable so should be a little faster . This does drop a lot when I go back to somerset as it's different internet I haven't managed to test this unfortunately and this is wireless as well for the PS4.

Cevin8 37 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Tried running the test directly from the PS3 browser but no success. Tried a few websites but the tests don't start Try http://www.speedof.me it works from the ps3 browser. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidCore89 7,402 Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) I haven;t seen jitter and packet loss being addressed yet. Both key factors. Test site http://www.pingtest.net/ I've used that, but it doesn't list most servers, so my ping was 25ms (higher than normal results through tests). Packet loss test isn't possible due to my firewall, same with most people. However I did this on PC: Start, search, type 'cmd' and then type 'ping www.google.co.uk'. Packet loss = 0. Ping = Min 23ms, Max 27ms and Avg 25ms. Edited April 29, 2015 by DavidCore89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the other Scandinavian based members have posted some equally impressive speeds. Edited April 29, 2015 by DavidCore89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no_snacks 3,345 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Upload & download speeds are horrendous. Ping isn't as bad as I thought it would be, but it's still not good.. This explains a lot of my lag I guess. Don't really know what all the fancy numbers mean, but they seem a helluva lot worse than some others. BTW. This was taken at 10am this morning. I also tested at 2am with similar results. Will test again this afternoon to see if there's any difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefaultBling 171 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 246 to Oslo and 133 to New York I never noticed consistent lag issues while playing with crew members, but if any of you have trouble hitting me while I whormhole all over the place contact me so I can try a solution.

This explains a lot of my lag I guess. ^^ 10:00am test. Not very good. Here's the 3:00pm test. 20-25% worse. Slower than 64% of Australia, which equates to slower than 99.9% of everywhere else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no_snacks 3,345 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) Wow HotWired. That's even worse than mine. Do you live at Wilson's Prom, Gippsland or somewhere remote? If we ever played a 1 on 1 death-match, it'll probably be in slow-motion. It'll be like the Matrix.

Squirrel 5,180 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 So basically the people of Slavbard have better connectivity to the rest of the world than the people of Australia? Think it's time to move to the Arctic circle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
