online minimum upload speeds??

kopite davo

thinking of changing my provider.
current speeds down 3 and 0.5 - 1 mgs upload, thinking of going somewhere else but they have 3-4 down 0.3-0.5 up but unlimited.
is the download speed good enough???

i know this has probably been asked before. sorry if it has.

thanks,

dave

Depends what you plan on using it for?

For online gaming for something like BF4 you would need at least 3mb Download and 1mb Upload

It's all about the Ping. I'd be going for the one with the lowest latency.

I was googling PS3 and eircom and it brought me here, sorry if I should be creating a new thread instead of responding in here. I currently have a wireless setup at home and typically the games can be a bit laggy, Fifa being one example to the point where it becomes painful to play. I ran a speedtest on my laptop (PS3 is in the same room so I'm not sure if this reflects the upload/download speeds on the PS3?) and got the following results:

Ping: 16ms
Download: 9.61mb/s
Upload: 0.64mb/s


Should I be getting lag on the above?

no thats pretty good, ping is good and upload speed is sufficent, lag is mostly about the ping, anything under 30 is pretty good

Using wireless? Yes. Wireless is subject to all sorts of interference from sources you're probably not even aware of.

Try a Wired connection to your router and see if that makes a difference. I Almost guarantee it will.

I'll try it this evening and see if it makes a difference, thanks.
