SPEED TEST RESULTS THREAD

Damn...I can't wait for FiOS to be available in my area.

[The Milk Man 09]

That just seems ungodly to me. I want that so bad.

[Peench]

Wow Worm, that's freaking amazing. I don't think FIOS will ever make it to San Diego. Damn cable companies down here keep their monopoly and screw us all.

[lovekeiiy]

well, when you get the 20 up fixed....you are automatically and mandatorally hosting all matches.

I have the FIOS 15/2 plan now, but how much more and how much more of a difference would we see on live with the 50/20 plan? Is it too much for live?? Is what I have enough?

You should see an automatic upgrade to higher speeds soon.
"..The mid-tier connection speed in those markets for new customers is being increased from 15/2 Mbps to 20/5 Mbps, and the basic service tier is being increased from 5/2 Mbps to 10/2 Mbps. Existing FiOS Internet customers who are interested in the new speed options can call Verizon for information about the new plans.""

FiOS starting the offering the new speeds yesterday. If they haven't automatically increased your speed by next week i would give them a call.

Dang, thats nice... So, I dont have to do anything for that? That rocks.

Nuklhed, the difference you would see would really be in your hosting. Download would be more time to get large files would be decreased. If you do streaming videos stuff, you could do more of it at the same time with higher resolutions.

The upload, would mean larger rooms with less lag. Somebody seems to come on with a crappy ISP that causes some lag. The deathmatch, you're probably not going to see much, but for things like GRAW online co-op missions, you'll be able to host large rooms (and thus get a ton of FR for strangers). If your LAN setup right, you'll be able to do around 12-14 people on a GRAW co-op mission. It takes significantly more bandwidth to host online co-op mission.

Maybe the person you are trying to shot has lag.It does not always have to do with the host,Player's can bring lag into a room Killen and that can change the game for all the player.Just like the pain in the ass echo that people bring into rooms.I do know one thing for sure,after hosting games for the past 2 year player that are losing almost always complain about the host but when they are winning they don't say shit
The fact is, after playing 5-6 rounds on your connection it did not change a thing, we still won and with minimal effort Not knowing how to set up a room correctly tell me that you have no experiences being host and if you continue to host you will see what a real pain in the ass it is






My connection is not the best nor is it the worst.The good thing about it is my upload,it does not change much across the us and I don't have to worry about what time of day, it is it will stay the same
Host always has the advantage we all know this.GOW is messed up game it has so many problems that I hope will be fixed in GOW2.If it were me I felt that my connection was so bad and I was not having fun I would just leave and start my own room or join another friend's or kick my dog.Its all about having fun man and if your not having fun...why do it?

last i recall you guys lost quite a few rounds when i started hosting , also you might have more experience hosting gears matches , but i have been hosting matches for 5 years on other games , just ask cujo, or other people on my friends list. As of late I have normally hosted on graw sundays. So i have been around the block when it comes to hosting on xbox live / the pc community. All that redrum and myself are trying to say is whoever has the best upload needs to host thats it. we are not saying who has the bigger dick, its just who can host the best that is all nothing more

Cool KILLEN,I play GOW From 8pm PST to around 11pm 7 days a week
You need to be on around 7:30ish to start a room.Most of us won't switch rooms after that cuz it messes up the map rotation and weapon swaps.( you need to know your weapon swaps)thing that you don't understand is, I have been playing with Redrum for 2 year and he complains a lot about this and few people do so it tells me that it is more his connection then mine.Also something was strange last night cuz Prophet had a bunch of lag and he hardly ever does in my room.As a host you cant use the lancer unless it is the last thing to do,(talk about pissing people off).You can have the big dick cuz I've been with my wife for 13 years and I don't use mine any moreYou may have won a few rounds but you guys only won one game

[K1LLEN]

we will see pickle your going down tonight :P
