Elikenui Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 The ping is the most important thing for gaming, the games actually use very little of your bandwidth. You can look at the network monitor page of the R1 control panel while you are playing and see how little of your bandwidth actually is used. Your numbers are plenty for gaming, just turn off your congestion control when you're not gaming to use all your bandwidth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faulko Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Good quality ping, jitter and dload. very very low packet loss also important.None of these really matter if the host isnt up to the task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buds Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I have 30 download and 3 upload but with antiflood it goes down to 10 download and 1.7 upload. As others have already said, ping is king for online gaming. But just on your download / upload speed and reference to antiflood, what settings do you currently have it on? I assume you have input your bandwidth as 30/3 and then what about congestion control? The ratio's of the quoted speeds to your ability to cap the connection with congestion control don't really match up (i.e setting both to 50% should see you getting 15/1.5 so the 10/1.7 seems to suggest something else is an issue). Of course if the above speedtest is just based on xbox / psn then it can pretty much be ignored as they are about as reliable as the Greek economy.

Guest Netduma_Iain Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Ping is most important, you only need to use anti-flood if other people your home are using it. Ping is typically dominated by three factors: Last mile delay Congestion Distance to host If you use Internet Diagnosis you'll see what is approximately the best ping you'll get, thats your last mile delay. It basically means the time it takes to leave your home before it reaches the Internet. You can't get a ping better than that. Next is when people at your home make you lag, if other devices are not downloading/uploading then you can safely ignore this. Otherwise use the anti-flood(see wiki.netduma.com please) Finally use the geo-filter to make sure the host is near you. Since you live in Puerto Rico your last mile will probably be high and the distance to the host will also be high. So you can't expect to compete with someone who lives in New York for example. But it should be much better than you're used to. For example customers in Hawaii are happy with 60ms, because they are used to much higher. Customers in New York are annoyed at 25ms cause they can get 9ms on the regular. PS I've assumed the remote host is a good on in this description, as that is typically the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
