this is getting kinda ridiculous...you can buy a 10$ dongle if it matters so much to you @.@


What kind of latency and dl speed does that 10$ dongle give?


whats the average speed of wired internet

I'd love to know about this ISP which provides a >600Mbps internet connection

Couldn't find anything on how ping is affected.



i use a wired connection on my console and every serious PC gamer too...
its better than wifi in every way... in Wii U you can have the adapter but even that is worse than a built-in... since the USB to Ethernet conversion will for sure add lag in "heavy traffic" MP game... it is not such a bad thing for good Internet connections, but if you have a bad one, adding more lag won't help for sure... not a disaster but it is not optimal either...

who still uses wires for internet?

Everyone with a desktop?

While not as important before, ethernet is so helpful when playing games online. Eliminates a lot of hassle and ping woes.

"Up to 40%" includes everything between 0% and 40%. Much like how broadband speeds which are advertised as "up to 60meg" can still be throttled and rarely reach that.

Also, the Daily Mail is a joke newspaper. Please don't source articles from it.

Up to 40% slower, that is not true. I haven't seen 50mb/s speeds on any 802.11n devices, even as close as 10cm to the router.

What kind of an answer is that? I take it that you don't know what kind of performance that 10$ dongle offers.

I mentioned this before but I have 3 MB of internet speed and I use wifi and I don't have big issues (if any) with the lag. Sure I never have the best ping in room but I rarely have the worst. Am I the only one? >.>

I don't read newspapers.

Is this better?

Anyway, ping is most important of all because it's a gaming console, but I couldn't find anything on it.
