So how do y'all think a wide-scale increase in internet speeds will affect gaming? More server-side computation? Supportable server sizes? An end to the excuse of lag? People out in the sticks without Fiber-level connections not being able to play shit at all?
>>255354890
Speed, as in up- and down-stream, is irrelevant for gaming.
lag will stay
transferring more at once doesn't mean it actually transfers faster
will have to keep waiting for FTL communication
>>255355849
>transferring more at once doesn't mean it actually transfers faster
>>255354890
wouldn't you be completely unable to pirate if you have google fiber since google themselves will send you the DMCA?
>>255355989
You can transfer 1niggabyte per second, it doesn't make a difference if it takes the packet a full second to arrive.
>>255355989
He's right, ping should remain pretty much the same.

My city has its own fiber optic service. It's fucking glorious. 100mbps for $55, I could get the Gig for $65, but I really don't see why I should, I'm already limited to what's already out there.

Actual programmer herefor project hate machine, if you've heard of it.
Yeah, latency is a big deal. Server side prediction of player movements is also a big deal; higher bandwidth will ultimately lead to higher quality of online play; if programmers take advantage of it.
Compare a game like Monster Hunter to a game like Minecraft.
In Minecraft they have absolutely no prediction happening; which leads to players standing still on another person's screen in situations of extreme latency; meanwhile in a game like Monster Hunter, you will see the players still running in the direction they were going; and monsters still moving around (be it semi randomly; they are on the right track)
My point is that good programmers will take advantage of having more bandwidth available (and also less latency; as the overall infrastructure improves).

Internet in the US anywhere but the coasts or major cities is a joke.
There's often only one ISP out in the 'sticks,' and they throttle your bandwith to shit if you use more than a miniscule amount. We're paying probably $800/yr for this service.
The only ISP here is Hughes Net satellite, which not only has terrible speed, but I've never once seen ping lower than 700, so online games are out of the question too. Thankfully, I'm moving out in 2 weeks, as it's my parents house.

Google fiber doesn't have a data cap. In a perfect world Google fiber will spread and through competition, it'll force shitty ISPs like Comcast and Time Warner to remove their data caps and up their speeds.
The internet world in the US will completely change when google fiber spreads. Sadly I don't see it becoming wide spread until 2050.
This is as fast as I can get in my area. The provider actually stopped signing up new customers here too because it's actually slower than their worst tier now. On the plus side though, whatever they use to monitor bandwidth usage just doesn't work. I've routinely gone over 1TB/month on a 150GB/month limit since November and I haven't heard a thing.

Video game streaming. It's only a matter of time when 0 latency leads to companies starting subscription based services where you choose what kind of specs you want, let's say based on subscription level, and you can play and store all of your games remotely without having to personally own a rig. Think of the amount of money they would make off of the crowds that want high end rigs but can't afford/don't know how to make them.

it will take at least 20 years before gig speeds are available in more than 50% of civilization. so gaming with other nations will still be shit.
Though once google fiber, and if these other isp's improve their speed and latency by getting faster processing network tech, it can improve gaming a lot for just playing within your city.
In a game like CoD where local players can host, if you ping 3-10ms within your town, it will be pretty much a LAN-like experience.

I'm so used to fast cable that i can never go back to slower speeds.
The only people who will really see a noticeable gaming improvement from Google fiber or some other fiber solution are the people in areas who will not have it for another 50 years. The cable connection that you consider shitty (and they are, by almost every measure that isn't "better than dialup") is in most cases fine if you live near a population center, which are the areas that have any hope of ever seeing fiber.
Sure games could change to the point that they can take advantage of that, but it will take a serious event to change that, and the network will have to be in place, stable, and proven before anybody has the balls to throw their money down on it. And if they do the first few will be something shitty, like the Playstation 8 requires a fiber network because you don't actually buy games, they just stream everything to you as long as your account is active.
Better connections will lead to publishers pushing harder for digital downloads. I wouldn't be surprised if next gen's games are just download codes.
>>255361909

1) Classify ISPs as Title II Common carriers, giving FCC more oversight over their business practices.
2) Force ISPs to share their backbone network, allowing smaller upstart ISPs to come in and undercut the established ISPs (Think Straighttalk/Cricket/bargain cell carriers that borrow from AT&T and Verizon towers)
3) Break the franchise agreements that let ISPs have a legal monopoly over entire cities at states. This will allow more competition to prosper and aggressive price wars.
All it takes is the political willpower to change the status quo.

In that allowance, I'm accounting for sixteen 64-bit (!) vec4s/quaternions (and/or one or two matrices with rows or columns a multiple of that size), plus 72 bytes of miscellaneous player-specific data per second. That's loads.

>Just out of Little Rock here. Only choices here are ATT and Comcast.
That's how it works almost everywhere in the US. Even major cities generally have at most two options, one dsl and one cable.
you guys are fucking retarded, you can only send data so fast, it doesn't matter if you have 10 megabit or 10 gigabit your ping isn't going to change very much (if at all) because games take very little bandwidth to play.
your ping is way more dependant on your location and the routing to the server or hosts.
>>255363995
>change ip huh? I wonder what for.
If you have fios you have to log into the router release the ip, turn the router off and unplug it, unplug and take out the backup battery, and wait about a minute. That's how I do it.
>>255362884
There's also Shaw and Telus, neither of which are any better.
>>255364774
I meant assuming that just because there's more bandwidth that people will get lazy and just waste it. Normally I'd agree, but it'd be pretty hard to waste networking bandwidth for an online game; unless you're just sending a shitload of garbage for no real reason.

>>255364378
well, i hired a 30mbps ISP the other day, and the router they gave me did not change IP upon being rebooted (it didn't have a button, so it was unplugging and plugging for me).
the ISP confirmed me they have dynamic IPs, but that they changed by themselves randomly (also, they give you a completely locked router that you can't configure).
even if i did get my own router i wouldn't be able to change IPs by turning it off and on, so i decided to keep my old 6mbps ISP that allows me to shitpost endlesslyor just do regular posts that happen to anus annihilate the janitor

This state is retarded. Only options I have here are AT&T which is dodgy in service and Wow! (Formerly Knowlogy, and before that Sunflower), and they overcharge for just their minimum package.
At least it's not like Western Kansas. They have one ISP for any place beyond Salina.

That happens to me too, it's usually shitty ISPs but I can't change it.
You guys are fucking spoiled.
I live in a place where internets are generally pretty fast, but I was stuck with 1mbs until 2010 when I could finally get my own internet. My dad was simply extremely stubborn about our home internet, anything better than dialup was good for him since he was stuck in the late 80s in computer technology - he'd only adopt something new if it was a brand new technology altogether (we got DVDs and digital cameras as early as 2000 in contrast to all that), he'd never let us upgrade anything.

They could be trying to get you to drop them.
See, ISPs get contracts from the government to provide internet to a certain area. These contracts stipulate they have to "do their best" to provide the people in that area that want internet with a reliable minimum speed. Now, it costs them more than they make to provide internet to certain areas, but they have to provide it because of their contract. To get you to drop them and "voluntarily" decide you don't want internet ("why the fuck am I paying for this garbage I'm gonna try satellite/dial-up because I am an average person and I don't need it for anything other than emails, shopping, and social media sites") they fuck over your connection to try to get you and your neighbors to drop so they can eventually shut down their service in non-profitable areas.
Alternatively their system could actually just be total garbage.

internet itself wont get better till long long after everyone who was born before it was a thing is dead because they only see it as basically a glorified telephone alternative and the shit they use it for does not require more than a MB per second at the most

The best hope is to expose them to "hey your HD movies don't buffer anymore how cool is that!" but the ISPs keep it just fast enough in urban areas that the large percentage of people can't tell the difference.
It's like people who say "oh you don't NEED automatic rifles" and you're all "yhea but who the fuck NEEDS anything past a cave and some clean water and nuts and berries. I WANT this shit."

Network infrastructure has to be built to support these speeds which telecom companies have shown little interest unless they can find a way to nickel-and-dime you like crazy for it or offer it as a premium to their already broken services.

Goddamnit.
games dont even use that bandwidth in the first place, and your latency is more effected by how your isp hooks into the backbone more than anything else
Even though all ISPs are evil, can we get some rankings going?

the comcast and time warner monopolies are pretty hilarious from a non-murrican perspective. once the merger goes through most of america will only have one choice of isp.
also this thing's still happening
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpbOEoRrHyU
I live in midtown NYC and the internet is pretty meh here too, 100mbps is the most you can get in my building, it's either time warner or verizon dsl at 3mbps.
download shit so roughly high 50 when not downloading anything.
honestly I am still really iffy about google because knowing them when it fully releases they will have bullshit caps that they will enforce like the biggest jews in the world. and if thats the case I will gladly stick withcomcast, while I know this isn't the case everywhere but they never enforce caps in my area where I go over 250 almost every other month for the past 10 years I've been with them.
But if thats not the case I'd gladly go to fiber.

>>255405375
you probably use more than 9 ports just surfing the web...
>>255405524
It only allows me to add 9 of my own ports for games, my old router let me have 20. I'm a bit new to port forwarding so excuse any ignorance.
>>255405710
port forwarding only matters if you are hosting games, unless you plan on hosting more than 9 servers I dont see how this is an issue
>>255405375

>>255359080
i think a big part of it is ISPs refusing to update their infrastructure thats probably from the 1980s
whereas google fiber, you are basically paying them to lay the fiber to your house
i hope that once google fiber becomes more and more prevalent, ISPs will see that its actually financially viable to upgrade their infrastructre to fiber
Could be worse

doesnt anyone proof-read their maymays?
To all the people talking about their connection speeds, are you talking about your provider's speed (measured in bits) or your downloads (measured in bytes)
Because there is generally confusion among those two.
If you download shit at say 375KB/s average, then you're good. If it was 375kbps, then that's shit because that's practically ~44KB/s downloads.
only worth paying a lot for because i spend my entire life infront of a computer

>>255405059
3Mb down isn't great but i guess it's survivable
less than 8Mb up is suffering if you have to upload things on a regular basis
>>255413110
Now don't trust me, but as I recall state governments usually are friendly with big internet providers. They give them exclusive rights to develop their infrastructure for specific areas, smooth out red tape, taxes, and squeeze out the competition in exchange for the ISP's shekels.
>government enforced monopoly
Well this is complete bullshit if I've ever seen it. Wonder how much Comcast is paying these cunts off.
>>255374904
1Mb = an eighth of a MB.
With those results it wouldn't be out of the question to get 1.9MB/s
>>255413698
Some ISPs do this bullshit where they give you wonderful speeds for around the amount of time it would take you to run a speedtest.
>>255413698
What bullshit are you talking about? 30 seems pretty good for comcast
>>255415351
It's bullshit because I've never seen a download come near that speed, and I do know the difference between megabits and megabytes. What I end up paying for is closer to 8 megabits than 30.

Comcast isn't terrible, and you can tell they're really trying to get their shit together, but that's just because Google Fiber is coming to Atlanta in the next year, and they're gonna be fucked if they can't do some serious damage control before then.

>>255416447
They've always been terrible, but I had to get their service for my new apartment, and you can tell they're definitely trying to get their shit together. But like I said, that's just because Google Fiber is coming in the next year, and 40/month for a 50mb connection is a hard sell when google's offering 20x more bandwidth for the same price.
A lot of what they're trying to do is bundle bigger and bigger packages of services, like now they're even doing home security and remote household management.

They're installing lines through Comcast territory, last time Comcast got a permit and a million dollar loan to build fiber optic wires but ended up pocketing the money instead and claimed that the geography didn't permit them to successfully install fiber lines.
>>255354890
So besides the initial costs of infrastructure, does it actually cost anything to transfer more data?
If not, how can anyone justify bandwith caps and other shit that fucks you over for data usage?
