My ISP is Teksavvy and I am on DSL with a FTTN service. My connection is made with 2 access points in bridged mode (directly to the router) so I should get pretty damn good consistency.
I'm hesitant on upgrading to a plan with 10Mbps upload speed because it requires me to buy a $120 modem. So the preferred option would be to just increase download speed (unless I really have to upgrade upload speed).
How much internet speed do I need? If you’re trying to figure out what internet speed you need for your connected household, you’ve come to the right place. Our speed tool will help you identify which speed is ideal for your home given the way you use the internet.
Whenever I hear people bring up connection, Upload speed is becoming more prevalent in what is discussed. Obviously upload speed would be sending the packets themselves, but people have always said D/U never mattered more than ping.
My speeds are around 6 down, .5-.6 up, and 12 ping to a town 25-30 miles away.
I am honestly wondering this because playing with my friend (where my ping to him is 100) I start missing easy kills because bullets don't connect even though my ping is fine.
Same for hosing lobbies. My internet turns shit when I host lobbies.
Is this a byproduct of low upload and should I talk to my ISP? They pretty much scammed me out of my upload when they gave us our 'given speeds'.
