Gamers are passionate about their internet - I should know since I am one. Gamers say a fiber connection is the best, but is that really true?
----------
See our picks for BEST ISP's here:
www.reviews.org/internet-serv...
www.reviews.org/internet-serv...
----------
The Basics:
- DSL
-Been around the longest
-Runs along your phone line
-Basic internet users
-Primary weakness is distance.
-Cable
-Much faster than DSL
-Runs through your coax connection
-Doesn't rely on proximity for signal strength
-Weakness is the shared connection and subsequent reliability.
-Fiber
-Glass/Plastic wiring (means its REALLY fast!)
-Generally symmetrical (matching upload & download speeds)
-Attractive to gamers & twitch streamers.
But speed isn't the most important thing! Here's what is:
-Latency (ping)
-The time it takes for data to make a round trip between you and
your ISP
-LOWER IS BETTER
-This is why Satellite Internet isn't great for gaming
-Packet Loss
-Data bundles being sent back and forth between you and your
ISP
-Don't want these getting lost or corrupted
-The closer to ZERO the better
-Jitter
-The change in latency over time
So... Does speed matter for gaming? You bet, but not as much as you might think. Gaming actually doesn't require lightning speeds!
What matters more is how reliable your connection is when it comes to Latency, Packet Loss, and Jitter. Any internet connection type (DSL, Cable, Fiber) can deliver great results in those categories.
So is Fiber the best? It's newer, more reliable, and tends to deliver the best speeds, as well as Latency, Packet Loss, and Jitter. The only problem is it's REALLY expensive and not available everywhere.

Fiber internet is really reliable. I've had FIOS for 10 years and internet has only went down like 3 times tops. When I had Time Warner Cable before that, internet went down randomly every month.

@dennisp8520 4 года назад

fiber internet in and of itself isn't more reliable it is still prone to the same shortcomings that other internet technologies are prone to. For example, if there is an issue with the headend that the fiber internet gets routed to you will suffer a outtage, also in the case of residential fiber it is still shared bandwidth from a node. Believe it or not cable companies like Comcast, TIme Warner, etc actually have more Fiber deployed than a smaller provider like FIOs it is just that last mile in the home that is serviced by coxael at this point. Plus DOCIS 3.1 can support 10Gig download and 2Gb upload speed so the limitation falls back to again the headend and the node you are connecting to in terms of bandwidth. All in all the obvious choice is Fiber to the home because it has infinite potential as far as speed and the lowest possible latency will come from fiber but the real-world results in terms of performance are not really noticeable at this point because your internet connection will only be as good as the weakest link in the infrastructure

For those out in the boonies and getting fed up with DSL; if you have a co op electic company, look into having them be your ISP. Ours is currently running fiber to 14 counties of rural customers and we're going from DSL, wireless, and satellite straight to fiber. The project is slated to take 4 years to complete but we're getting service that many don't have access to. It's not impossible, there just has to be a demand and good cost-benefit analysis. Ours won in the favor of implementation. To say I'm excited to go from paying $75 a month for ATTs table scraps of internet via 25/2 DSL to gigabit fiber is an gross understatement.

@papikabi Год назад

Same. I been on Centurylink 3/.45 DSL since I was in highschool. Im 28 now... My electric provider is running fiber as I speak. 1gb up and down for $80 a month. So excited...

@retr0nus 4 года назад

Well in the UK you can do two things, one of them is called a Community Fiber partnership which is where you sign up for a Community Fiber partnership account from Openreach, and get as many people in your neighborhood as possible to sign and help fund for Fiber installs. Or you can do what is called FTTPoD, which is where you get a quote from a provider like Cerberus Networks which usually cost about £250+VAT so they can check out your street, the nearest node, your home so that then they can give you the pricing for the installation which is usually about £5,000 to £39,000, you don't have to pay it, but you can if you want to and you can then get Gigabit Fiber that way.

Residential fiber is often PON which just like cable is shared. However unlike cable, fiber is immune to interference and you can increase the capacity just by changing the devices at each end.

@0bsmith0 Год назад

Everything is shared at various points in the network. For PON vs cable it's the split ratios typically being much lower at 32 : 1 vs 80 - 100 : 1.

Yes it is. Fiber Optic Internet always has far lower latency and higher speeds. I've had fiber to the home(FTTH) since at least 2014, and for online gaming, it has always been far better than cable and especially DSL. It's very reliable as long as you have good access point to support, which the newer models from Comtrend certainly do. I consistently have the lowest the ping in my lobby, and only lag if playing with a bad host. If I'm host, it never lags.

@infinity5749 2 года назад

I've been able to make my LTE hotspot fully optimized and can use tricks to get more throughput which fixes my packet and frame loss and I can cloud game without compression. It's either my isp or the service I'm using or both that is throttling the throughput which causes packet loss and frame drops. I would have thought I just need better internet or fiber. The main problem is I live in the sticks. So only satellite or LTE hotspot is available. So it took me literally years of testing and trying different configurations to find out how to stop packet loss for cloud gaming. So it is not the connection LTE issue? If I can use this trick I found and it fixes it right? I'm still a little lost as why I can do this trick and fix the packet loss. It's like a bypassing technique I have figured out and it evidently does give me more throughput and fixed my packet loss and frame drops.

Frontier is advertising in our area and I'm sure in other parts of the country as well but from what I understand talking to go net speed frontier does not have any of their own fiber lines on the streets. They're literally leasing fiber lines from go net speed so if you're offered fiber from frontier and you know that go net speed is in your area, I would go with go net speed.

The problem with cable internet like Xfinity is because it runs off 1 shared line throughout the neighborhood. Not a dedicated line to your home. The cables that are wired within your neighborhood causes down times when many people are using the internet like between 5 pm and 9 pm.. you will experience down times. Thats how they get you.. they advertize 1000-3000 gbps but people dont read “up to”. Their speeds are not dedicated. If you want dedicated.. get fiber.

OK, so the older cable is shared, fiber is separated per apartment ? I am about to get my first fiber modem couse my older modem died, i figured i upgrade. They all die over time.

I rather have solid latency with low end speed than high end speeds with shiet latency.

Fiber optic internet uses a light to transmit data whereas DSL uses copper wiring and electrical pulses. Does your internet provider no provide you with a gateway?

@@JJFlores197 There are modems that have both acces ADSL/VDSL, so no, i am not confusing these connections. Some apartment buildings sadly have contracts to use only one operator, is why single customer cant choose their favor operator, the building managers always choose the cheapest shiet, and chiepest shiet is not a gamer choise, therefore i am always stuck with frikkin 4g. Needs to be your own house, then you can choose your favor operator. The bigger operator the shittier it is, all they care is profits and not on quality product.

@JJFlores197 Год назад

@@mazz85- Not sure what you mean then. You say your apartment has fiber internet available then you start talking about DSL modems. So what is it? Do you not want to use fiber internet and want to use DSL internet? Or what am I missing? I would gladly get on board with fiber internet over the archaic DSL internet service.

Fiber is what all data center use i used to work in the data center Google use multiple Fiber and they are insane stable and dependable Fiber is very cheap, the media was the most expensive and had gotten more affordable i learn the weakest point is the connector, i seen them fail and cause issue, it is rear but did happen

This is 99.8 % accurate the .2% is that with cable even though it’s shared long as your using a docsis modem that has 24x8 the traffic to ur home should be fine but even these days I don’t even think the 16x4 modems give issues and it goes up to 32x8

@mohammadghannam8299 2 года назад

I have att fiber and have been EXTREMELY mad with my service. My internet is absolutely great as long as the sites I’m going to att likes. Att doesn’t like RU-vid so now RU-vid and basically all google services are just about unusable. I have to use a VPN to “trick” att to not knowing what site I’m looking at and then I can get useable RU-vid. Still not full speed though because the vpns take a hit on speed. So I’m paying full price for full speed but can’t get full speed.

If I have Fiber on IPv4... is that good? Or is Cable on IPv6 faster?

@retr0nus 4 года назад

They won't be faster on either protocol, it's just sent in a different form. It also depends on what plan you get, like 1000 Mbps Down / 54 Mbps Up on Cable or 900 Mbps Down / 900 Mbps Up on Fiber which in this example, the Fiber broadband would win on the upload, but the Cable broadband would win on the download.
