One BOOM attacks Netduma and Advertising

I stopped watching as soon as I heard the word placebo and the statement that the geo filter is not necessary.

Wow, I'm guessing his mom found his porn stash and binned it.

Trey arch themselves thought that a geographical search would be s good idea but did it by continent which was still unacceptable.

Haters gonna hate, meh!

I'm with Bagsta.  I couldn't watch the whole thing because the guy is a child.  His delivery is shit and his game play is average, AT BEST.  Just another struggling, salty, wannabe CoD God who bought the Duma thinking they would be the next Captain of Optic.   <_<

I would imagine, like almost every small YT'er, he will just delete the comments that disagree with him.  Plus, and I say this knowing a bit about the YT click-baiting, why give him the views?

I watched the whole video so heard all the points he made. He kept saying about "speeding up slow internet" which the NetDuma doesn't advertise and I've seen a tonne of threads about people saying "how to I get faster speeds with the NetDuma" and everytime they get the reply of "The NetDuma WILL NOT make your connection faster" so that's a empty point.

 

Then he says NetDuma always say "It's really good, buy it, buy it. They never use the words buy it but it's a company" another invalid point.

 

He didn't mention anything to do with Congestion Control and how it helps you better control how your internet is distributed through your household, which is funny because I feel that's one of it's best features.

 

He didn't talk about the VPN.

 

To be honest, he didn't really talk about much. He doesn't even own a NetDuma and by the sounds of it doesn't even have problems with his internet or the location of his home to a local servers so doesn't even need a NetDuma so it was a bit of a empty rant about something he shouldn't have ranted about.

 

He also went on to say right at the end of the video "keep in mind that I do think the NetDuma router is a good router, its a strong router, as a piece of hardware it's solid"

 

It just sounds like he's mad that the Duma twitter page like having some fun, not taking everything super serious. Have a listen for yourself though, it was a bit of a nothing rant for me.

 

Oh and it didn't really seem like he was talking about the NetDuma company directly. He was constantly saying I just hate how these companies do this, that, blah blah blah and didn't really have a strong point against it considering he's never even owned one...

 

I want my 18 minutes back.

 

 

I checked his twitter as well and saw this tweet, which is funny because no where in that tweet that NetDuma sent did they say about buying their router instead of having a good internet connection, just another little joke on the Duma twitter page  https://gyazo.com/b6ffeef803da9848175dc956a0577f45

Haters gonna H8, but I have noticed a lot more anti-Netduma rhetoric out there than say, a year ago?

 

My guess is people are now realizing what a shit game BO3 is and are out of the usual scapegoats, so now they are trying to vent their frustrations away from Activision and Treyarch and blame yet another scapegoat for why the game itself plays horribly and/or why they are shit at first person shooters.

 

Also, most of this kid's content is rants. It's nothing new, constructive or even engaging. He's the typical "I'm mad at my dad, gaming-bro kid" who knows criticizing is easier than complimenting, so he uses that as a substitute for actual content anybody over the age of 12 would find "interesting"... and I use the word very loosely.

I did not watch the video but I read what was posted above. I've had my R1 for a little over a year now. I am an early adopter, got it on the 2nd batch of orders. I am pretty much a tech nerd, after all that is what I do for a living. So for me, setting up a router is something I can do with my eyes closed. I can say that I've thoroughly tested it and for what it is, it's a finicky piece of hardware. When I first bought it, I was worried that it was all just a gimmick like anything else that has the words "gaming" on it. Which for a $200 "gaming" device that claims to fix so many problems should be anyone's worry.

 

A year later, I can say that the router does do exactly what it says. However, the problem here is that people are expecting way too much from it. From a technical stand point I see the effects of having the router in place. But from a normal casual gamer who doesn't know anything about why we lag, and how the internet works I can understand the frustrations that people have on this forum and after their purchase not living up to expectations.

 

I said the router is finicky and I meant it. For me it's always been a love hate relationship with it. On one hand I can recommend it to people who have tons of people in their house using up their bandwidth. The congestion control feature is about the only one I use these days and it works fantastically. However, the geo-filter is a pain in the ass to deal with. For me, on PS4 I have tons of issues when I start enabling and disabling the geo-filter or messing with settings constantly. Getting dropped from parties, not finding any games, not being able to see any players in a full lobby, etc. I think most of the problems come from the geo filter being over used. And honestly since black ops 3 and other games have been running on dedicated servers now I find it almost useless to try to find "close" hosts because even on a server with 12ms ping you can still have a lag-fest.

 

And that brings me to my next point. Just seeing the in game ping on BO3 show 60ms ping, and my R1 showing 12ms proves that the problem is with the game not the router. Players don't want to realize that this game is broken. Not by accident, but on purpose. And all future cod games will also lag on purpose, because while you are raging that none of your shots count - timmy no thumbs is having the game of his life dropping raps and a mothership on your ass.

 

To end this, I will say that I use my R1 more as an informational tool now to know that my internet and network are working optimally and the problem isn't on my end. For that, it works great and for anyone else who knows how to use a router and understands that this is not going to make you god like and invincible in your games then you should buy this router.

 

TL;DR - The router can be a pain to use at times, but if you use it for what it was intended to do then it works great. At times I feel like we are beta testers for some features. These days I only recommend it to people who have lots of people using their connection causing them to lag. I think Netduma needs to be a little more clear on what their router can and can not do. Be clear about fixing in home lag vs fix laggy servers.

"I think that Netduma is trying to capitalize on people that don't." I personally feel you should have done your self a favour and done a lot more research before you made this video, the statement you've made that I've quoted is rather comical and to be honest some what desperate, There is a Netduma forum full of a vast array of people with vast amounts of knowledge that are VERY willing to help ANYBODY with what ever issues they may have with the product, this is the type of after care you just don't get with your mainstream companies like Microsoft. You've made claims and accusations with minimal or no evidence, you called the geo filter unnecessary but prior to getting the netduma I'd end up in lobbies in the states when I'm from the UK and you could guarantee the it would be a 2-3 bar connection the geo filter has eliminated that. I can block servers this list goes on. I'm not sponsored by netduma or affiliated with anyone from the company I'm a grown man who earns his money and spends it on what he likes if the product didn't work I'd have sent it back along time ago!!! There are clear benefits to buying the router and it's hardly random people buying them more like your seasoned gamers who know what they are looking for, those people with Scuf controllers, Benq monitors with 5ms response times people that KNOW each and every little millisecond counts when you have people teaching you on a forum how to get an A+ bufferload etc and people researching making pre-set profile's that users can use at a click of a button I really can't see how you can try and diss the product, as stated already the device stops lag on your home network and I agree your entitled to your opinion but your wrong and the only people that will agree with you are going to be a minority which are probably going to be your most loyal subs but I can already see down below even some don't agree hence why you've started your video in the manner you have either have your opinion and stand by it or don't have one at all don't sound half apologetic that's just not genuine

 

just had my rant lol

Here is a classic I got from him in response to a simple question on his channel.  I guess I should take my humble place at his side, for he is my Lag Savior sent from the Playground in the Sky....LOL

 

 

 

No I don't OWN the router because it's not necessary for a RANT. This wasn't a fucking product review lol.

I have kept furthering my knowledge of internet optimization over 3 years... I never called it a hobby.

I know routers like I know cover based shooters. (hear me out)

I do not own The Division but yet I do not like it... I have enough knowledge of Tom Clancy games and cover based shooters to know that I wouldn't like the Division.

I have Optimized 4 routers while having shit internet and a ton of traffic within my house.

I don't lag anymore then anyone else in whatever server I'm playing even on my cheap DSL line because even my shitty router/modem combo that we got for free has QOS settings and application forwarding.

It was a silly rant about a topic I found funny. I wasn't dissing your router.

all he has said to you is K

 

Bloody Pathetic

Yep, he's got nothing and I think he probably knows it.  I think it's like JD and baz mentioned, he's click baiting.  Your comment about his subs is dead on.  Only people that have no idea or the most loyal are going to give 2 f's about what he said. His game play is sub par.  I've seen forum members videos like yours, Lukaz, ModBox, ImSallad, Secretface, etc etc that would wipe the map with this guy.  His subs which are asking him for pointers...are clearly 6 years old or less.

 

He's a kid and he'll never retract a word of his barf.  I used to say "K" when I was getting yelled at by a teacher or some other authority.  It translates into "I'm not listening because I'm so F-ing smart."

 

Normally I wouldn't care, but this kid takes a shot at specific real people people that I/we have grown to respect.  He has no idea how the R1 came into existence.  A true gamer would never take such cheap shots on a product created by gamers with funny accents and a love for Halo, which is designed especially for gamers

everyone that clicks the link is adding another view to his vid which will probably fuel him to do more

makes no odd's mate i've saw ppl get loads of view on a video but the dislikes and comments either 1. caused them to take the vid down or 2. delete their channel bad videos can equal a huge loss of subs

JD,

it was more like a 20 minute Ritalin withdrawal induced temper tantrum which did nothing but dis the router

Spot on mate I say K to my Mrs when I've been grilled and haven't got nothing more too say lol there are plenty good people on here with great content thank you for the compliment means a lot and I 1000% a real gamer would never take a cheap shot like that if you ask me he's struggling with his channel and is trying to drum up some momentum at the duma's expense he might just kill his channel in the process let the trolling commence :rolleyes:  :rolleyes:  :rolleyes:

I have not watched the video just like he has not used a Netduma.

In the past I have tried alsorts to get a lag free network and nothing has come close to the Duma.

All the other features are the best tasting icing I have ever tasted.

Haters gonna hate and lovers are going to help and that's just what this forum has, great people that help each other, I am proud to be a part of this exclusive club with you guys.

If he has not the brain capacity to work out what this beast can do then so be it.
