Is someone a photo shop expert??

 :noid :noid :noid :noid :noid

Does someone lack reading comprehension?

As noted earlier these plans are fairly standard in NZ: https://myaccount.snap.net.nz/signup/home

Thought I would do a test to Dallas to make it more like a game day rather than these 50 or 100 mile tests.

I ran some tests to Dallas, got a huge range of results, from 159ms to 234ms pings, and 2Mbps/2Mbps through to 50Mbps/50Mbps.

what with the exchange rate this is about $15 a month.

I did not think that the host is in Dallas.  Is it?

However, I think that your idea of running the test to the host city location is actually a better way to measure rates.

Just giving you a bit of a hard time.   :angel:  :devil

I did not know what plans were available in NZ.

Here in the states there is no effective competition so speeds are what they are (low compared to you guys) and prices are high.   :furious

We pay about $60 a month for 30MB down and 1.5MB up. :cry :cry :cry

You guys have such low prices with high performance rates that Ahhhhhhhhhhh.   :angry: :angry: :cry :cry

Are those data caps on the plans?   Do they charge you for going over?  They are slowly rolling out caps here in the US.  Comcast I think has plans for a 500GB cap.  A lot more than you guys (if I am reading your rates correctly), but I would image that at your data rates it would be a lot easier to hit caps than for us to do the same.   :old:

I found this server in Ft.Worth, 1000 miles away, I get about same;
what makes bad gamming connection? high ping right? is mine 50 ms, ok?

just found this;  "Latency is the delay (ping time) in milliseconds that it takes the signal to travel to the server and back. The lower the number the better, but you'll definitely want a ping time of under 120 ms or you'll have major problems with online gaming. Ideally you want less than 75 ms ping to the gaming server. "
 
Bruv nails me all the time with 140 ping, cuz travels ahead in time  few milliseconds, by the time I see him I'm dead meat; :mad: :mad: :rofl

This is on a cell phone connection "personal hotspot" also going to my laptop through wifi.

It's a little slower when tethered to my desktop with the apple lightning cable but these "scores" don't tell you the whole picture or give any insight into your gaming performance.

Nobody has ever complained of me warping and I often stay connected even when half the arena get's a mass disco.

The "network status" and other information within the game never show more than a very flat line with very little variation.

I played 1.5 years on a blackberry with nearly 400ms ping and the game still worked well since it was written when modems were common.

The only downside to the 400ms ping was me seeing guys maneuvers around 1/4 to 1/2 second after they were performed but the current 60ms ping made staying with maneuvering fighters much easier.

The reason I have no troubles with warping whether on my former 400ms blackberry or the current 60ms iPhone is how unbelievably consistent the data is .............which is what the game prefers over blinding speed/wait/blinding speed/wait found in many "lightning fast" cable connections.

I had to disable LTE which slowed down the throughput and introduced "cable like" waits so 4g seems to work best.

I'm also pretty sure that this speedtest only shows the best ping.

There are far better tools out there to check your ping, ping consistency, lost packets, and other data and even the simple command prompt has plenty of commands/command line arguments that can tell you far more than you would imagine.

Some of you here could probably benefit from checking further than this simple speed test which tells us next to nothing about what is really going on with our connection.

I explain my failure sometimes adding the high enemy ping to this brain lag multiplied by aging dementia factor and slower reflexes;
