Strong internet speed yet slow response times.
Strong internet speed yet slow response times.
I previously had a download speed of 30mb/s and 10mbs, with a ping around 25 when I was the sole user. (I’m not using Ethernet, just wireless.) After upgrading to a Helix Videotron program, my speeds improved to 400mb/s download and 50mb/s upload. It supports up to 12 users without losing quality. Once I switched to a stronger Wi-Fi, my ping dropped to 10-15 ms. I’m curious if being wireless affected the result. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!
Where's the 16x coming from? wtf Anyway upgrading your internet speed will have little to no effect on your ping, the reason you got better ping is probably due to having a better router, WiFi is still Half-duplex and there's more processing and interruptions involved, it's still far from matching Ethernet level of latency which supports Full-duplex and is a direct connection. Half-duplex means the data can travel one way, it has to wait for the packets to finish to then be able to send or receive the opposite way, while Full-duplex can send and receive at the same time.
I used to achieve 30mb/s, not 60. The 16x was an error I made in calculation. Now I’m getting 400, which is about 13.33 times more powerful than before—so not a 16x boost. I’m not sure if that’s the correct way it works.
I used to achieve 30mb/s, not 60. The 16x was an error I overestimated. The accurate figure is 13x faster here’s my approach: Logically, I started with 30 and now have 400, which is 400% of 30 equals 13.3333—meaning it’s technically 13 times more powerful, not 16x. I’m not sure if internet speed behaves this way.
Absolutely, I'm in agreement—it really works well. I tested it today and everything functioned smoothly. The main issue is that others have better ping, which makes placement and movement more challenging. Still, it's all fine as long as you're comfortable with the changes.
My computer isn’t great either, but that’s unrelated to Wi-Fi. I’m running an Intel Core i3 8700K, paired with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050Ti 250GB SSD (M.2, 1TB), a Gigabyte B360 DS3H motherboard, and an 80+ bronze PSU. I also have 16GB G.Skill Aegis RAM, though it barely reaches 144 FPS on low and medium settings.
