I just upgraded my internet-- 50/5 download/upload speed, wired connection.
I don't play on a monitor, but it is a brand new tv, and has "game mode".
I was hoping this would improve online play, but I'm still getting disconnects, comical lag plays, and just got kicked out of a game (I was losing anyway, but I never quit).Question: If my opponents internet is lousy, does that make my upgrade pointless?
Are the servers so bad that even a good wired connection doesn't prevent dropped games?
Is a monitor that essential?I think online games should have a disclaimer attached stating that you need the following "video and internet requirements to enjoy online play."
50/5 ? That's terrible internet. Mine is 450 / 25.
Not sure why you think this matters other than to one up someone else. You really only need 10-20 down and less than 1 up to reliably game. And what makes you think his 50 is worse than your 450. That’s just raw speed. That doesn’t take into account something far more important and that’s latency. If his latency is less than 10ms and yours is 30ms than the person you are shaming actually has a better connection than you do. But I’m guessing you’re just another narcissistic jacka** who feels the need to shame others in order to feel important. That makes you the troll kid.

True or false? Ping rules above all when it comes to connection.
Upload/download is less important from what I gather.

lol, if that makes you feel better, ok I guess.
I just thought it was odd that someone "upgraded" to 50/5 - what the hell where they on before.
My 450 / 25 is still WAY TOO SLOW for internet in the modern age where I have at least 15 devices sharing that bandwidth 100% of the day.

You have a dsl i am assuming? Mine 200/10 and haven't had but one freeze off all year. Lag however has to do with lots of things. You can have the best internet ever but still have lag because of where you live in accordance to the hub. It also depends of servers of mlb's end.

Get over yourself.Well being a network engineer for the largest ISP and cable provider in the world (Comcast) you’re wrong. 450 is a normal speed tier in this day and age. In fact it’s the most popular speed tier in this country. And 25 up is actually higher than most providers give. Unless you’re on a fiber connection upstream will always be throttled as a copper infrastructure would need 25-50 upstream channels to make their speeds symmetrical. And I highly doubt that you’re using 15 devices simultaneously 24 hours a day that are all using high bandwidth applications. So please stop exaggerating. I’m a content creator and don’t ever max out my bandwidth and I guarantee you that what I do is far more taxing to my bandwidth allocation than you gaming and streaming. What I said is 100% true that you’re speeds mean nothing if your ping (aka latency) is high especially in the online gaming world. Have a good night.

450 is mid tier in my area. 250 is the low side (cable), 450 is mid tier (still cable) and 1000 is readily available (fiber).
I have 4 smart TVs, 5 phones, 3 tablets, 3 gaming consoles, 3 gaming PCs, my wife's work from home workstation, my work from home workstation, etc... All of them streaming data all [censored] day and night long.450 is still way too slow and i'm going to upgrade to 1000 in the next few months.

And once again my point obviously went over your limited intelligence. Just because a device is connected doesn’t mean it’s utilizing any bandwidth. And yes 450 is mid tier it also happens to be the most popular tier utilized in this country. And working from home doesn’t utilize a ton of bandwidth because most are utilizing a VPN to connect their home workstations to their companies infrastructure so the VPN is handling the bandwidth load not your home connection. And if your 450 is cable (aka copper) then the 1000 you mentioned is also being provided via copper unless your changing ISP’s to get that 1000. ISP’s don’t change the delivery method based on speed but my guess is you wouldn’t actually know that. Comcast offers gig speeds without fiber to the premises (generally fiber to the node in newer areas and copper to the premises). So as much as you’d like to think you know what you’re talking about you really don’t. And anybody who does the work that I do will tell you the exact same thing. Good day bud

Yeah I saw. The minimal requirements to actually play this game is a farce (I think its 25/5 or something along those lines)
Bottom line is you can have all the speed you want, if your connection isn’t stable, its worrtless on this game. I’s rather have 125/25 100% stable than 1000/100 75% stable

Nope, they could only check that info at the tap which is what services your home. Usually a green pedestal that is located on the ground near your premises if your service is underground or if your service is aerial it would be located at the top of a telephone pole.

So please spare me the professional hype. It doesn’t intimidate me and just makes you look more and more like a whiny know it all. Stick to what you know and I’ll do the same. I deal with people like you on a daily basis who think they are experts and it’s down right laughable listening to it. Then I explain it and show them pictures (because people seem to understand things better when they see an illustration of the words) and the customer finally understands. Your speeds mean nothing, and I mean nothing without the quality of the signal that you are receiving being good. So until a technician actually verifies that you need a speed upgrade all you’re doing is throwing money away. And no a person on a phone cannot interpret what is happening to your service from a remote destination. Signal quality is a real time thing not something that can be determined from an archived reading. If someone is trying to sell you gig service they are not doing it because they know you need it they are doing it to make a commission. My suggestion is to get a service tech out to your residence to evaluate your situation in person before doing something silly and throwing money away that you may not need to. That is all

I just upgraded my internet-- 50/5 download/upload speed, wired connection.
I don't play on a monitor, but it is a brand new tv, and has "game mode".
I was hoping this would improve online play, but I'm still getting disconnects, comical lag plays, and just got kicked out of a game (I was losing anyway, but I never quit).Question: If my opponents internet is lousy, does that make my upgrade pointless?
Are the servers so bad that even a good wired connection doesn't prevent dropped games?
Is a monitor that essential?I think online games should have a disclaimer attached stating that you need the following "video and internet requirements to enjoy online play."
50/5 ? That's terrible internet. Mine is 450 / 25.
Not sure why you think this matters other than to one up someone else. You really only need 10-20 down and less than 1 up to reliably game. And what makes you think his 50 is worse than your 450. That’s just raw speed. That doesn’t take into account something far more important and that’s latency. If his latency is less than 10ms and yours is 30ms than the person you are shaming actually has a better connection than you do. But I’m guessing you’re just another narcissistic jacka** who feels the need to shame others in order to feel important. That makes you the troll kid.
lol, if that makes you feel better, ok I guess.
I just thought it was odd that someone "upgraded" to 50/5 - what the hell where they on before.
My 450 / 25 is still WAY TOO SLOW for internet in the modern age where I have at least 15 devices sharing that bandwidth 100% of the day.
Get over yourself.Well being a network engineer for the largest ISP and cable provider in the world (Comcast) you’re wrong. 450 is a normal speed tier in this day and age. In fact it’s the most popular speed tier in this country. And 25 up is actually higher than most providers give. Unless you’re on a fiber connection upstream will always be throttled as a copper infrastructure would need 25-50 upstream channels to make their speeds symmetrical. And I highly doubt that you’re using 15 devices simultaneously 24 hours a day that are all using high bandwidth applications. So please stop exaggerating. I’m a content creator and don’t ever max out my bandwidth and I guarantee you that what I do is far more taxing to my bandwidth allocation than you gaming and streaming. What I said is 100% true that you’re speeds mean nothing if your ping (aka latency) is high especially in the online gaming world. Have a good night.
lol, whatever makes you feel better bud.
450 is mid tier in my area. 250 is the low side (cable), 450 is mid tier (still cable) and 1000 is readily available (fiber).
I have 4 smart TVs, 5 phones, 3 tablets, 3 gaming consoles, 3 gaming PCs, my wife's work from home workstation, my work from home workstation, etc... All of them streaming data all [censored] day and night long.450 is still way too slow and i'm going to upgrade to 1000 in the next few months.
BTW, I don't give 2 craps what you do for a living.
And once again my point obviously went over your limited intelligence. Just because a device is connected doesn’t mean it’s utilizing any bandwidth. And yes 450 is mid tier it also happens to be the most popular tier utilized in this country. And working from home doesn’t utilize a ton of bandwidth because most are utilizing a VPN to connect their home workstations to their companies infrastructure so the VPN is handling the bandwidth load not your home connection. And if your 450 is cable (aka copper) then the 1000 you mentioned is also being provided via copper unless your changing ISP’s to get that 1000. ISP’s don’t change the delivery method based on speed but my guess is you wouldn’t actually know that. Comcast offers gig speeds without fiber to the premises (generally fiber to the node in newer areas and copper to the premises). So as much as you’d like to think you know what you’re talking about you really don’t. And anybody who does the work that I do will tell you the exact same thing. Good day bud
You talk like you know stuff that others don't.
I'm 51 years old and have been a software analyst for over 10 years.
Spent 20 years doing software support.
I have 3 teenage kids in the house plus I'm just a over-grown kid too.
There's isn't a single moment that goes by without several devices in my house streaming data - that's just the facts.
450 is slow as dirt.

So you are saying that 25/5 internet is fast?
Because the only point I EVER made was that 25/5 internet is extremely slow.
Go ahead and quote my post where I said a faster internet connection was better for this game or whatever BS you are implying?
Yep, i worked as a network engineer too, at Texas Instruments for a few years, before I gave that [censored] up for a well paying job that actually creates solutions.
Go ahead and troubleshoot someone's email dude... lol what a joke.
Just ran a speed test, getting 459.7 down and 23.6 up - slow as dirt. -
