TheSteelyardDweller Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 i was reading someone i think @skyfire said they had bad internet for gaming. how common is this problem today? Do most people have the bandwidth they need to game or do u have a lot of lag on online games?
The Blackangel Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 I think it all depends on the computer you're using more than your internet service. I know a few people here have gaming PC's that were specifically designed for gaming. I on the other hand have a simple all-in-one pc that is best used for simple stuff like surfing the web. I have FF8 downloaded through steam, and the lag time in certain parts is insane. But that's because my computer isn't designed for gaming. I could probably take it in and get a memory upgrade and a faster processor, but I don't have the money.
kingpotato Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 My bandwidth is only of 20 megabytes and its enough for me to play online.
skyfire Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 Today it's not much so. Though it was in past. Like today I have good enough bandwidth even on mobile. In some cases like mobile tower in some areas if good can make it easy for me to play.
Alyxx Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 Mine used to be good but recently it's been getting a lot worse. Might be my adapter corking out so I might get a new one soon.
skyfire Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 I think having too many other people around often can create issues for public Wifi so I tend to use the mobile net often these days.

Alyxx Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 Public wifi is usually extremely slow and restricted in comparison.

Reality vs Adventure Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 I'm way in the country, so I use satellite for wifi. It only allows so many gigabytes I can use each month, so I'm limited in gaming. I've never even tried online gaming. At least I can do special events in games. Please stop making online only games!

Patrik Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 My net is pretty bad but surprisingly good for online gaming, the only issue i find is when i'm trying to update a specific game, it takes so long
