Internet speed required for playing competitively, download and upload speed?

Tecumtha

If you are a competitive player, what connection do you use.
Thanks for sharing.

Technically speaking, no certain download/upload speed is REQUIRED, ping relies on 32bytes/second.

You would even be fine on 512k DL / 256K UL if no one else is using it.

If you are planning to use VoIP (voice over IP, like ventrilo, mumble, etc) then I'd recommend 2MB DL / 512K UL atleast

Remember, most ISP's will put you on a different gateway on their side that is less used because less people buy the best package they offer. (more high quality gateways = less ping)

I get some slight lags with 10mb and .9mb per sec. My desktop is pretty high end. Ping is around 50ms. I basically have very little time to react, often by the time I see the enemy I am already hit.

50ms is 1/20th of a second which is WELL over enough time to react.

25mb/s should give u 1.5mb/s upload, which is more important in FPS.

What do you mean it is bull****?
You have moe than 1.5mb/s, it is depending on your broadband type and the service provided by the company.

Verizon Optimum gives you 15/5, while TWC gives only 15/1.


This happens to me a lot below:

UDP is the type of port MMOFPS games use. If the upload speed is too slow UDP will drop pockets of information and results in lags in game.
