some of you guys have fairly poor upload speed compared to your download speed. I used to get 20 down, 5 up, which wasn't too shabby. Now I have 10 down 1 up. I miss the 5 up

 

alot of speedtest hosts suck. Test using Dallas, TX's host.

no, I was forced to switch from Verizon Fios to Road Runner. 10 down 1 up is their standard now. With Fios I always pegged exactly at what they said I got because you actually have a dedicated fiber line to your house. Road Runner obviously uses 1 cable for TV, phone, and internet, which causes them to sometimes lag slower than the promised speeds if everyone on your cable is active at the same time.

 

Not in my area. They have been upgrading the hell out of the lines lately. Even though I have their premium package even their standard package has gone up since they started screwing with things. It should be about 15mbps down 2 up for basic, 20 down 2 up for basic plus, and 30 down 2 up for premium.

Of course it could be a matter of the area your in too. They might not have the $$$ to upgrade your area yet.

 

Still retest with the Dallas server. Should see a bit better performance.

I got worse down performance, but not by much. You used a speakeasy dallas server, which I prefer speakeasy for my speed tests. I picked the NY one so I feel that it is realistic.

 




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Above I'm a proud Gran Turismo fan, not a Sony fanboy, and now a proud 360 owner, but sharing xbox live accts ATM

End of 2009 Predictions (made Jan 1, 2009): My predictions were pretty accurate, the 360 was over and the Wii was just under.

Wii: 65 mil (yea I'm crazy) 360: 35 mil (its getting there) PS3: 30 mil (the slim better do well)

End of 2010 Predictions (made Jan 7, 2010):

Wii: 81 mil  360: 47 mil PS3: 45 mil


Don't complain about people not answering, lawl. You're getting post in your thread, that is enough!

Yes, that's enough for online games. It wont' be the best, definitely, especially in Brawl.

Add me for Pokemon, New Leaf, and Fire Emblem, Mario Kart 8.

i dont even play brawl anymore lol



This is mine and i've have never seen any lag in Mario Kart.   Does it even exist? What i have seen however is synching issues;

red shells failing to lock onto a target

people being transported back and forward on the track instantaneously

things just appearing on the track in front of me

finishing a race ahead of someone only to find out you are behind them

 

I would assume this is the sum total of the messed up internet connections of the people i am competing against, rather than a problem with my internet but since i know nothing about nothing when it comes to computers i will defer to other people who know more about this kind of stuff.
