Activision advice on upload and Down rate

Recommended Posts

I have just visited the official COD blops3 forums for the first time in ages and read a post about a guy who was lagging badly. The reply from Activision support was a blinder and as far as I am aware the biggest pile of bull#@#t I have read in years.

Unless there is something I and many other people do not know about.

Re: Question: Lagging like crazy

Hey there B########,

 

According to the information you provided us with it seems like your upload speed is low. We recommend having at least 5 on download and upload to help have a stable connection.

 

Regards,

His speeds are fine he should have asked what is your base ping, have you tested for ISP congestion leading to jitter , do you have family members using your internet while you game.

I have a friend that is in a very rural (aka middle of nowhere) of Alabama and can only get 1.5Mbps download and 0.8Mpbs (yes 800Kbps) upload.  He is able to play BO3 without too many problems and does VERY well.  Of course, he is often a 3 bar and experiences occasional lag issues.

Visiting the COD forums...your a brave man.Way to much bullshit and mis information there for me.And when Activision gets involved and gives helpful answers it always makes me smile.

Until we can get the list of gear, including the acceptable base ping, for what they develop the games for it will continue to be a crap shoot.

 

I am still wrestling with the dedicated line for gaming concept as we won't see FTTC/FTTH in my neck of the woods until The Rapture

I noticed that on the cod network bandwidth only goes as high as 4117kbps i have played as low as 890 kbps

I've played as low as 100 kbps on the BO3 in game network stats

How's your hit detection at 100kbps?

It all depends on the game and lobby but some games the hit dection is right on the money and I am clearly ahead of people.And no this isn't an endorsement to throttle the shit out of your connection in hopes of getting better gameplay cuz it just doesn't work.

 

And some games are complete ass,so typical BO3 gameplay very little consistency depending on which lobby you get into and the people in said lobby.

 

But I did notice chat on PS4 wouldn't work all the time with that low of bandwidth thru the system but when solo it doesn't matter with no mic.
