Yeah, that is pretty low, considering I was getting 13 and 3, rounded down. But it is still better than 56k. ^^; What is supposed to be the speed you're getting from your provider? If what you're getting is lower than what you're paying for then it may be the hardware you have, but it also could be your provider failing to provide what they are selling.
Ping: 811 ms Download speed: 0.12 Mbps Upload speed: 0.08 Mbps And these were the results with my fastest browser (Google Chrome). I'm no expert, but I think this quite slow, though the upload speed was a tad higher on Firefox.
Well I searched google and found this place. Check to see what your upload and download speeds are and then we'll talk about recommendations. Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test
I'm not even sure what kind of modem I have, it's been about two years since I've had it. We even lost the manual and all that came with it, and I can't seem to find anything on our model online. I'm being cautious due to our low budget. I gotta be sure I know what I need to play online and get it right on the first try x_x Would it be okay to ask how you do it? Let's pretend I have nothing. Where should I start? And what's your best recommendation?
Probably should check to see what your upload and download speeds are. So long as you're not running a 56k modem, then you shouldn't have any trouble. Multiplayer games are designed to deal with latency from slower or poor connections. I ran FFXI on a 56k modem for a couple weeks, despite thinking it could not handle it. So you might be surprised.
A modem. I have is a small device I plug in to one of the USB ports from Cricket Wireless. I even took the liberty to ask someone at work if it can be used for the PS3 and he said it wouldn't be a good idea due to its slow Internet. Seeing as it takes a while to load some websites with it, I agree with him. I know some routers can't handle online play and so I think that my modem won't do at all. I'm still going for it, though. The only problem is that I would need to gather more money for the router and different Internet service, so it would take longer than expected for us to play online (until tax season, at the longest). But in a sense, it can be a good thing since I'll be able to focus on leveling up and finishing the series' remastered first installment. Having seen the game makes me want t play it, whether I'll be able to play online or not.
Well how do you receive your internet right now? What are the devices and connection type?
We'll see. I only have so much patience Since money is going to be tight, it still could take a while before I start playing online. I may have enough for the PS3 and WKC2 during Christmas time, but I would need a wireless router and a different Internet service in order to play online. I think you mentioned a different method before, but for the life of me I can't remember x_x I'm probably making things sound more difficult than they are, but I can only get so far without help when it comes to this.
Well we'll see how long you hold out. ;p
They are. This particular one mixes some of my favorite things at this time. As you have noticed, I have jumped on the MLP bandwagon as well. Saint Seiya, as you can see on the right. And the big guy on the background is Odin, Father of the Aesir as he is portrayed in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds I may want to read more, but I also find doing things in a timely manner the best way to do things
Ah nice. Sigs are fun. You going to be able to hold out each week with things getting more tense.
As always, I get more time to read it on Sunday once I'm off work. Kinda excited right now. Someone just made a sig for me.
Yes, more postings to be made. I'll be getting to that and you can enjoy some more Shift. You're getting closer to the end of the first sub-arc.
It was meant for an audience at first, but like I mentioned it's gotten to the point where only he and I would understand what's going on. Ah yes, I know it's Friday but we're getting close to the weekend and you know what that means ;p
Ah, well it makes sense in what was going on with you. It was something more for yourself than for an audience. So it works.
