XFinity GIG service now available if you don't have ATT FIBER

The other problem is most services will limit upload speed on their side so you'll never get that full download speed anyways.

holy fucking expensive!

 

[syP]

$139 is expensive?

 

[Mook]

For internet by itself, hell ya

 

[syP]

Interesting. I haven't noticed.

I mean no disrespect by this... but that's like a non car guy telling you that 400hp is so fast! When you have a 900hp car.

Video gaming is 80% upload 20% download. I'll pay whatever it takes to become the host (or increase my chances of becoming the host). Plus it's not like $139 is a lot of money ? I don't do anything else. I don't spend money anywhere else besides my home. I don't have activities or go out drinking. So I spend money on tech.

I absolutely understand that aspect of it.

But I don't understand the aspect of having a 900hp car that you are only ever going to drive like a grandma or never leave the garage

The Extreme 300 was $99/mo in my area, and the Extreme 150 was $75.

The extra 150 download wasn't worth the extra $25 a month.

The upload difference between the two was about 3-5mbits on average, still not worth that extra $25 a month.

Describes me to a T.


I'd rather have it and not always use it... then not have it when I want to use it

By us it's 75/10 for 79
150/20 for 89
300/25 for 99
1000/42 for 139

i dont play video games

so im probably alright not having this.

Even then, it doesn't give you that big of an advantage and is really game dependant on if it even makes a difference.

Perhaps you missed what I said... I'll take the Best chance at becoming the host. Don't care the cost. Period.

 

[Turk]

That speed is worthless. Gaming uses very little bandwidth. Latency is way more important. Also, you got it to be host? What year is it? PS4 doesn't use dedicated servers?? Lol. Ouch.

Yeah I know, but it doesn't even mean you'll get host and alot of games have gone away from host but you probably still play cs:go

 

[syP]

Every PS4 game uses user end hosts. I'll take what I can get.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

I'd rather have 100/100 then 1000/42

 

[syP]

I'd rather have 50/100. 100% agree with you. I ironically told my wife that too.

omg i got quoted in this thread

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Host.

Lol.

Console peasants.

The end host is a dedicated server, not your PS4. I can't think of a single game that uses p2p anymore. If you really cared that much, you should move closer to the server farm. That'll give you the biggest advantage.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Host.

Lol.

Console peasants.

Wat? Host is on both PC and console games

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Yeah, if you play Advanced World War Space Ghost Ops 68.

 

[Turk]

Yeah, if you play Advanced World War Space Ghost Ops 68.

Consoles don't use p2p any longer either. They switched to dedicated a long time ago.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Host based games suck anyways lol

Bro I have a standby button wired next to my desk! You ded before you even know it!

 

[Yaj Yak]

omg i need to go boat hunt on craigslist to flood the livefeed with something other than this thread.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Yeah go float out of this thread
