Xbox one better connections?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Now before I start I want to make it clear that the observation listed is MY OWN observation and not one of the DUMA team. I don't want to get the team into any sort of "ps4 v xbox1 war" lol.

I've been running the Duma for a few weeks now on ps4/PS3. And found that is a little gem piece of kit. The number one reason I purchased the Duma was for my online gaming, and the "lag" I was experiencing. All that seems to have gone since I installed the r1. I'm now actually winning gun battles in cod, whilest my son is streaming videos, the wife stuck on facebook and candy crush, oh and the daughter pops in so she can download a missed episodes of holy oaks or what ever it is? All this is controlled........(drum roll)...by me! I DONT LOSE OUT,.....i carry on gameing without any trouble!. Great bit of kit. Anyway I'm going of topic lol. I've reacently purchased an xbox1 and found that host filtering seems to work better than the ps4?. You don't seem to wait longer to join lobby's, you seem to find hosts that are closer? I'm no techie (as im sure your aware..lol) but is this down to xbox live being better than psn? I don't know. Like I said it's just MY observation.

It could be a number of factors, such as the number of players on each system. I'll speak with our admins and see what their experience is and see if we can optimise it further for play-station. Thanks for the feedback tubbie :)

I want to add that I play only on ps4 and nit have any troubles finding matches yet. Perhaps it's a regional thing? No complaints here :)

I have the Xbox One and PS4 and without the Netduma, XBox One's connection if a lot smoother than PS4.  Unfortunately I hit master prestige on the PS4 before I discovered this.  I may have never known if the Christmas weekend DDos attack didn't happen. Everything just feels more responsive on the Xbox One.

I've heard people say that XBL has better connection than PSN, although from my experience I haven't noticed any differences.

The Playstation Network gets DDoS'd and attacked almost constantly, it also appears to be not as powerful from an infrastructure side as XBL.

I imagine that XBL is under constant attack as well don't you?  It's just that Microsoft has the infrastructure to better handle it.

As it is a paid service I imagine you are correct, they likely also follow up these attacks with law suits.

Both next gen consoles are paid online services, only reason i miss the ps3

interesting, but it still goes down all the time...from what i've seen...

 

Am i mistaken? that seems like a scam of some sorts.

You aren't mistaken!  Seems like a lot as of late :(   You would think psn/xbl would offer something to us costumers..

I remember when M$ had the family plan for $100 a year...for 4 xbox live accounts...

 

When you added accounts to the family plan it divided the number of months you had left on your account by 2 then rounded up then added them to your account...

 

So I found the following bug:

1. Make free 1 month account

2. Add Account to Family

3. Get 1 month added to family account

4. Remove account from family

5. Rinse Repeat...

 

I called them 6 times and send 15 emails...i was told it was impossible there was a bug they have over 20 qualified certified testers...
