Play single player games.

300kbp/s download speed and that's at its best.

Most of my games are on Steam, unfortunately.

I think the other brits cope by pouring in thousands of dark skinned fellas from far away lands.

Myself, I just watch anime. If I'm lucky and leave it downloading 24/7 sometimes I can watch stuff without having to wait on the downloads.

>>13815215

Then download while you play something else. This ain't rocket science.

>>13815238

I pay $120 for a third of that speed m8, count your blessings

>>>13815280

Have you called and threatened the pajeets that you're going to cancel if you don't get whatever their (((promotional pricing))) for new customers is?

>>13815215

>Most of my games are on Steam

Start pirating then.

Play old games with low file size while downloading the big ones. At 300kbs a 30gig download shouldn't take more than 3 days

I'm planning on joining the army, since I've got to get my kicks somewhere, so I probably wont have to deal with this connection for much longer (I hope).

>>13815340

I do that already, playing old games but the only things I've pirated is Hentai games.

>>13815322

Can't threaten them if they don't understand.

I'm honestly glad most of them live in squalor, I hope that recently emerged black death strain swallows that whole shithole of a country.

>>13815238

That's true, you do have it worse price-wise but if that image is relevant then your speed is astronomically better than mine.

2 megabits a second - Download

0.6-0.7 megabits a second - Upload

500, give or take, - Latency

>>13815238

Mine is 1.5 MB/s peak throughput download

164 KB/s peak throughput upload

at the very minimum 40ms ping and it can jitter 15~ms at a time.

>>13815500

>so I probably wont have to deal with this connection for much longer (I hope)

If it's anything like the chairforce, you'll be sharing a <300mbit line with dozens of other people in a dorm, and enough of them will be torrenting 24/7 to shit all over your speed and connectivity.

Live in the middle of the country. Where all the decent women still survive. So I get less than 50kb/s or so. Also stuck with only 1 option of ISP's.

venezuelan here, I just gave up on online multiplayer

>Can't download or watch porn without going to jail

I'll stay here

>>13816916

I hear slavs have pretty cheap and fast internet too.

I'm lucky there is a provider who started installing fibre optics so I don't have to worry about slow speeds.

>>13817007

have you ever considered money pooling with your neighbors for a single but very powerful internet connection that ultimately would be a step up for all involved while still not getting the maximum performance?

>>13815180

>Anyone else forced to deal with a shit internet connection?

>How do you cope?

I live in new zealand so the internet is both shit and all the close servers are dead or full of south-east asians.

I adjusted my playstyle to suit this and generally just play the really silly classes/whatevers where reactions don't matter and bullshitting around is more fun than the direct competition.

>>13816966

I want to murder everyone in leftypol. they want to juggle with words to try and distance themselves from shit, I mean, really? state capitalism? the state using its power to control the market is fucking what other than pure leftism? Jesus Christ.

polite sage for off topic

My current problem is having fine internet but only wanting to play a game that has nothing but connection issues. It's miserable. I feel like crying but it's so defeating that such a strong emotion isn't able to come out. I feel dead inside. I just want to die.

>>13815180

It's ok the Muslims will either force you out of the country (hopefully better internet wherever you wind up) or kill you.

>>13818654

Kill yourself, tits or gtfo you dumb fucking roastie, no one wants to hear about how horrible your period is.

Don't read into it. Just imagine I posted a sad cartoon being sad

At least you don't live on a boat, with 600 ping

>>13818830

>$51 for this but i think that my isp is doing some traffic shaping

I have a similar problem where I live problem is that it's really fucking hard to prove they're doing it, thankfully not really shit I personalmly care about that much (YT, Twitch, Netflix, MEGA etc)

If you're in the UK and you're thinking of moving to the middle of nowhere try moving near a military base. There's usually good broadband packages there since they have people living on camps.

>>13818801

>>13818713

Where exactly do you guys live?

>>13815238

Are you seriously complaining about those speeds at that prirce range?

Come to rural Canada, you hoser.

>>13818989

Boat.

>>13819021

Please explain further. Are you in the navy?

>>13815215

Fucking so? I once spent an entire month downloading a 30GB torrent of Anime on my shitty internet, and watching that Anime turned out to be one of the best experiences in my entire life. You can download any video game ever made on your internet connection, you just have to be fucking patient and use torrents.

No, I live on a boat. By choice.

What's relaying all your data through a known dataminer botnet with lots of capabilities to store gathered data?

in the Middle East, a 10 mb connection costs 100 dollars.

Q⋆U⋆E⋆S⋆T⋆I⋆O⋆N

I'm being offered a 50 Mbps plan with a shitty 500GB cap (Fiber). My current connection is 6Mbps with no cap (ADSL). Do I bite the bullet?

>>13819809

Do you download a lot of shit?

I used to have a 100GB cap with the internet I got from work and that wasn't nearly enough.

>>13819647

Modem != router my man. Modems handle digitising the signal coming from your phone line and vice versa. Routers, well, route traffic between your LAN and the WAN (innanet).

Nowadays consumer (see: garbage) gear calls all-in-one modem-routers just "routers", which confuses the fuck out of people. Anyway back on topic, it depends. I was running an el-cheapo TP-Link modem and it was hot garbage. I've since replaced my access points, modem and router with gear that isn't cheap chinkshit. Immediately the network started not being cancerous and the modem was able to stay synced for more than half an hour.

>>13819818

At most 3 30GB games a month, then there's youtube, updates, WiiU USB helper… I'm not entirely sure if I can get to 500GB a month.

Thing is, we're two people with similar habits sharing the same connection.

Fuck I meant

>>13819819

for

>>13819633

>>13819809

Read up the fine print.

You might not be getting 50Mbps all the time and there might be strings attached to those 500GB available.

>>13819820

Do you bind yourself to the subscription and do you have any cancellation rights?

Because if you have the right to cancel at anytime the first couple of weeks it wouldn't hurt to try it, unless you get a special deal with your provider right now.

Also this >>13819832

>>13819820

>we're two people with similar habits sharing the same connection.

Never go for a data capped connection if you're sharing it with people.

>>13819842

Ask specifically if you are entering a "contract" (such as a two-year agreement) or a "no contract" plan. no contract means you can cancel any time, usually. Also, I am personally very against data caps, but unless you are constantly watching HD video/downloading HD video/games you probably will not hit that cap. I do not know your habits so I don't know if that cap will effect you horribly. Finally, inquire what are the consequences for going over your data cap; sometimes it is throttling and other times it is large fees.

>>13819868

If you’re using wireless I’d consider investing in some 802.11ac access points. The Ubiquiti AC Lites are good.

tfw triple digit ping to the very first node in my ISPs network, often times 4 digits during peak hours

tfw can only play ping sensitive online games at 2 am to 7 am then connection starts to become shit again

tfw only decent service for less than a quarter of the day at hours which fucks up my sleep cycle

tfw faster paced online games are the only ones i really like anymore

>>13819585

I would send them my dick picks if in return I would get that connection

>>13819868

>Fluctuates wildly but it's definitely shit most of the time.

You have not told me the speed you are paying for. IF you are paying for 3 Mb/s download speed and getting 1.66 Mb/s down,t hat is not entirely unreasonable, but if you are paying for 20 Mb/s down it is. I am assuming this is a connection from a cable company or is it DSL over a phone line? If you have WiFi and are using a wireless router or router/modem combo that you have access to you should have plenty of Ethernet ports on the back to set up a wired connection. If you get a significantly better connection when testing wired (which you should) just go online and buy a 5 dollar 50-100ft Ethernet cable, unless you have some crazy living situation where this would not be viable.

>>13819891

I'm not the one paying for it and it'd be odd if I ask the one who is paying for it what type of speed we're supposed to get. He probably doesn't care because again, he's the one with the ethernet (mostly plays MMOs). Not helping matters is that he has yet to change the default password. We have no phone line. Once again, it's a bit of hassle getting a cable that long in here. The way the rooms are arranged would make it too easy to trip over. The upper wall is an option but I don't know if the tape we have is strong enough.

Furthermore, what brand of cable costs $5 for 50-100ft? The store near me charges over $20 for less.

>>13819940

I don't think it is odd to ask what internet speed you should be getting, he may not realize he is being scammed, but I don't know your social situation with your roommate. As for a cheap Ethernet cable, you can find them on Amazon cheap (USD). NEVER buy cables retail unless you absolutely need them immediately as they are marked up at least 50%.

One of the providers in my area has recently begun offering a DSL-LTE combined tariff.

It's uncapped but requires an ISP-provided router that can either be rented for 6 dolans/month or separately purchased for around 400 dollaridoos. It's my only option available for speeds beyond 16mbps.

I probably won't be buying into it but do any of you anons have experience with those sorts of things?

Was curious wether or not VoIP and Internets would continue to operate in case the landline connection fails, which is a big issue since (((they))) made it mandatory.

>>13819940

It's far more expensive but you could consider getting a pair of Powerline adapters if the cable is a no go.

>>13820033

I certainly hope Optimum isn't scamming. In any case, if they mark up the cables that much, I'm afraid how much he bought them for years ago. A shame, I like buying retail because it's faster.

>>13820048

Never heard of Powerline. Sounds extremely convenient but where does it get the wireless signal? Itself or the router?

My internet connection is ok usually, no hiccups from streaming and I very rarely get dropped from games, but its $90 fucking dollars and has a 1TB a month limit. This inspired me to search around. A friend of mine literally 4 blocks away recommended his ISP but its not available in my area. The only other option is a satellite provider and I hear that is spotty as hell.

>live in commiefornia

>get 14 MB/s down and 2 MB/s up

>only pay 70 bucks

>get free speed upgrades every once in a while

I dont know what you're talking about with commiefornia having bad infrastructure

>>13820068

It really depends on the area, it almost varies from block to block.

I'm good

This speedrate is might seem average, but to me this is fucking luxury

>Aussies having shit internet

Holy shit i thought it was just a meme

I mean, you poor lads. I might be a 3rd world shithole but i got cheap internet ($45 dollarydooes along with cable tv but who watches the electric jew these days?) and pretty okay connection even during peak hours.

-t. mudslime neighbor

>>13820056

The signal originates at the adapter, the router merely sends content to be transmitted.

>>13820275

How much are you paing for that?

>>13815238

50MB/s DL and 20MB/s UL for $30/month here. The fucking catch is that outside the country (such as for MMO and download) it is 7MBs DL and 1MB/s UL in actuality.

>>13820306

They are, apparently, doing it now.

They are in the middle of my city, so their online map says, but it was meant to be done like 4 months ago.

>>13820317

Why do they do that? Are you an aussie?

MMOs as in actual MMOs or just multiplayer games korean 'mmos'?

>DAE hav problm? XD

Go the fuck back to reddit.
