Discussing internet upgrading involves understanding new technologies and improving connectivity.
I’m explaining this in a different way. You’re trying to move your internet from your phone to your PC because the Wi-Fi isn’t working well. Right now, your phone has a ping of 50 and downloads about 2mb/s in Steam. The new provider offers 200mb/s with unlimited calls and data. If you connect your phone to that connection, will your Steam speed drop to around 20mb/s? Or are there any losses in the process? Thanks for asking—just wanted to clarify.
Of course, the speed depends a lot on your location. If you're getting 200Mb, you should expect around 200Mb/s from Steam, but you can't be sure it will actually work on your phone. Mobile data isn't ideal for online gaming if that's what you're trying to do.
We’ve already noticed the slow Wi-Fi speeds—around 10mb/s, which is only about 1mb for Steam downloads. Sharing my internet from my phone is the best way to stay connected on my PC. In about a year, I plan to install my own home internet. If I upgrade my mobile data from 20mb to 50mb and reduce ping from 2mb to 5mb, it should significantly improve performance. I don’t think location matters much since the same provider offers similar speeds regardless of where I live. Upgrading seems like a smart move.
Ping can change based on connection strength, but it isn't affected by speed. It won't drop tenfold because latency is separate from speed.
