s about Ping? I'm here to help!
Hello, With a stable 5Mbps download and upload speed, you should experience low latency. Your current 8Mbps download and 1Mbps upload might not provide the best ping, especially for competitive games like League of Legends. Consider upgrading your internet service to improve both speed and reliability.
to achieve optimal performance, consider enhancing your existing internet connection with your ISP. if you're playing online, upgrading your Wi-Fi setup might also improve your experience.
Latency isn't related to how much data flows over the network. To reduce delay, you must optimize the routing you have limited influence over as a regular user. You can install a VPN to alter your path, but this needs careful testing and research to locate a suitable local option. A wired connection will consistently offer lower latency compared to current wireless standards, so if you're using Wi-Fi, consider switching to a wired setup.
Sorry for the oversight—I didn’t mention which connection I’m using. Right now I’m on a wired setup. My current ISP offers a maximum download speed of 16 Mbps and upload speed of 1 Mbps, and they won’t increase the upload limit. That’s why I’m considering switching to a better plan.
Don't upgrade them—they don't belong together. A better plan won't improve your ping. If the rival provider is laying fiber, consider upgrading; otherwise, stick with what you have.
You're in Niraj, and it seems they're using ADSL2+. With a 5Mbps connection you'd experience around 40-50ms latency. As Juan mentioned, switching ISPs isn't necessary if both rely on the same copper-based infrastructure. I'd wait for fiber availability if you haven't already.
As per others, additional bandwidth won't magically help your ping. It will help if you're having spikes due to bandwidth contention, but from a baseline perspective they will perform exactly the same in League. You may be able to have them switch your plan from Interleaved to Fast Path, but it's generally an enormous struggle arguing with support to save 15-25ms. It took me like five weeks to get Verizon to do that for me back in the day
