not to mention once they add new pokemon all the oldfag genwunners will leave anyway.

anything that forces providers to upgrade is a good thing

>although the bandwidth is pretty low for the application (about .1% of the overall traffic) compared to Facebook (which is about 16% of the overall traffic), the session total for Pokemon Go is almost 1% of all sessions on the network.

>>55882794
>>55882754
>The chart below compares the number of connections per subscriber that Pokemon Go is generating compared to other applications. As you see below the only application that generates more connections per subscriber is BitTorrent file sharing – which is notorious for session consumption. Pokemon Go even uses more connections per subscriber than DNS and SSL web browsing, which are the meat and potatoes for any device connection to the Internet.

>>55882754
>If this shit had an impact on mobile networks, then what about streaming services, social media etc?
Those generally make 1 connection per app, sometimes 2 (main app and stream).

Go likes to open a lot of connections, which leads to more state used per router. The routers run out of RAM, not bandwidth. You can see the same thing with a shitty home router + bittorrent (moreso if you use UPNP to forward ports, but that's another issue).

>>55882768
Canada is third world when it comes to telecommunications.

Not a joke; you can look it up if you feel like it. Bell Canada and Rogers have systematically gutted the system and repressed every effort to improve it, tossing in a token fiber connection here or there so they can pretend to be living in the 21st century.

>>55884737
Actually, the average LTE data speed here is faster than the US. Stop spouting reddit tier conspiracy

>>55882545
Mobile internet is like dial-up. This means that for everyone connected to the internet with mobile they have to get a line. It's not packet switched.

>actually playing irl grindfest on your mobile
>not using the python bot or necrobot if you're a winfag

>>55886550
but still, isn't there so much the backbone can handle?

>>55886708
They just calculated that x% of the population has it turned on. And now all of the sudden it's a lot more.

>>55886731
then why is Pokemon Go such a problem? i assume there are tens of thousands of students using stuff like iMessage and Snapchat

>>55886766
They usually flip it on and off, and Pokemon really added a lot new users.

And they also group up, putting heavy load on a single mast.

Still, the provider should fix their shit.

>>55886801
makes me wonder if the providers are working on improving

>>55886984
Probably not.

Same old story with how the ISPs are complaining about the big data use from Netflix and the like. If you give your users x mb/s, you have to be able to provide it.

But they rather bitch and complain about how those services are using too much.

>>55887059
but it's not about mb/s

>>55887533
Yeah but it's the same concept. The provider would rather bitch and moan instead of upgrade their infrastructure.

Pokemon Go smacks of poor coding, even more so than Ingress.

I blame most of it on their use of the Unity engine.

>>55882545
Why would frequent pinging be a problem exactly? If the signals aren't using that much bandwidth?

>>55888122
It probably doesn't mean pings in the same way as ICMP packets.

>>55888122
I had a shitty realtek-based router and when one of my family members opened twitter on her tablet it made ~500 connections in less than 60 seconds and it shot the processor on the router up to 100% usage, everyone else's network connection ground to a halt, but bandwidth usage was minimal. Meanwhile 4 people could watch their rokus simultaneously but since they never open more than a dozen connections the network was totally smooth despite using ~40 megabits per second

I would imagine this analogy extends to bigger networks

>>55888324
It varies greatly from software to software.

I bought a shitty router that couldn't handle more than a handful of simultaneous connections while an older, even shitter, router could handle over 1000 just fine.

>>55883569
They terminate accounts of people who use too much of the "unlimited" data.

>>55886550 Even 2G GPRS networks use packet switching.

>>55888972

I feel bad for you niggers living in the internet third world.

Here 100mbps is for poorfags, 4G LTE is 300mbps+ with 3CA, unlimited data, unlimited tethering and we don't have problems with Pokemon GO.

They won't improve the networks for this dumb ass game, you know. They're just going to put a hard limit on the amount of sessions allowed concurrently and the game will implement a queue to play just like WoW.

>implying that they aren't just justifying super expensive data plan

>>55882545
lol really? if anyone is 'fucking up our networks' it's the carriers. All those Pokemon go players paid for the service fair and square. If the providers can't do their jobs, how is it the customer's fault?

>>55891242
who cares if they paid for it? if a bunch of normalfags playing a stupid game is impacting the service for the rest of the users then those normalfags can go suck a dick.

maybe this will make carriers implement a pokemon go tax. that would be fucking great.

>>55891325
lol what? So if they were using the service for work you wouldn't care? You're a retard to get mad at anyone but the carrier for this.

>>55891411
>So if they were using the service for work you wouldn't care?
yes, because work generally means telephone calls. not poorly designed smartphone games that eat networks alive and make it worse for everyone else.

>>55892059
I'm not that guy but my Wind plan has unlimited data and I only have signal problems in unpopulated areas.

>>55892143
i said, i'm not talking about signal problems. it has to do with how slow and shitty their network is.

It's actually very ridiculous to use Wind Mobile. Think about landline internet for comparison. It'd be like getting the cheapest Internet package (5mbps/512kbps), and adding an unlimited data add on because you're too poor to afford fast unlimited internet.

how much are you paying anyway? $30? $40? Given how fucking slow WIND is, I rarely see any WIND friends who use more than 2GB on it. If you only use 2GB, there's a new Public Mobile (owned by Telus and uses the Telus network) plan that gives 2GB data, unlimited text/talk for $40 a month.

>>55892059
It must really be a poor experience on an iphone or shitty android. No webpage loading problems here.

>>55892231
lol. don't kid yourself, WIND shill. everyone knows how slow the network is, and it's easily proven by speed test and ping test results. webpages do load, but it's obviously really fucking slow.

do you have a stake in Shaw Communications?

>>55892249
It would be worthwhile to invest if it triggered you any more. Definitely have the money left over every month.


I understand where you're coming from though. Post-purchase rationalization is a pretty useful trick to keep your confidence as you make poor conditions, especially monthly ones.

>premium data
>$100+ plans
>2gb of monthly transfer

>>55892262
actually no, I use a Koodo prepaid plan. It gives me fast LTE data on the Telus network, and I only pay $15 a month for it. But that's because I'm a light user who uses about 200MB a month, and the service allows me to carry over unused minutes and data.

sounds like you're the one doing the post-purchase rationalization. this article explains it pretty well: >>55892112

i have friends who use WIND and given how slow it is, you'd might as well make a trip for a wifi hotspot.

>>55892226
What? My connection isn't slow. I stream music to my phone (from my desktop computer at home), ssh to servers from it, and do all sorts of other internet shit on it all day including basic normie shit like games and Snapchat. It's actually faster than the internet at my university (I often turn off wifi to use my phone network's faster speeds).

I think I pay around $45 but I also have a bunch of extra services like unlimited international calling/texting.

>2GB data
lol

>>55892356
>My connection isn't slow
Then post your speed test. I see 10Mbps download is usually the highest speed for Wind.

I'm not going to install some shitty app just to give you a screenshot. I don't care if you believe me or not.

My university does have shitty ass wifi (it's practically a meme on campus). I'm at the University of Calgary. Each year they say they're going to fix it but nothing they do makes any difference. The IT people are dumbasses though, or rather not really the IT people but the VP of Finance who runs IT and the other dumbasses in charge.

They're constantly starting new software migrations while old ones haven't finished. We've got people on three different email services and all of them are shit in some way. They also disabled e-mail forwarding for "security purposes" which is shit because that's how most people got around their bullshit. They also keep recommending that people pair their phones to the service too but if you do that shit then it allows them to remotely wipe your phone if they want to. The worst thing about all this is that recently our servers got hit with a ransomware attack (check the news) and a fuckload of staff and researchers lost all their email shit. Our IT staff paid the ransom but now they're too "paranoid" over the keys to fucking use them. The bastards keep asking us to change our passwords but the system clearly keeps old passwords on record as we can't switch back to them, so now I can look forward to having lost several passwords to the break in as opposed to just one. Everything they do is so fucking dumb.

Fuck you for making me think about them. I'm fucking pissed at how shit they are. Seriously, fuck them!

Opus is an efficient audio codec, but I can also do FLAC because unlimited data.


What now, RoBellus?

>>55892738
No.

You're going off on a "muh feels" basis when it comes to Wind. It's objectively proved that the Big 3's LTE is faster, and Wind's 3G is slow as fuck.

Wind users always go "b-but it doesn't feel slow!" You do realize you don't have to install a shitty app to do a speed test.

The things you do: streaming music (320kbps at best), SSHing and Snapchat aren't actually speed intensive. Try streaming video on it and you'll realize. LTE-A is onto 300Mbps+ now and you Wind cucks are still stuck at around 10Mbps HSPA.

>>55892810
>leftover money in my Win Plan
lol stop saying this, I already told you there are cheaper and better RoBellus options than Wind

As if $45 for unreliable 10Mbps 3G gets you anything

>>55892944
>You should switch to this 2GB plan where you can stream video.

You're right. The things I do don't require 300Mbps+, so why should I switch? I'd rather stick to my slower connection with cheap unlimited data because I literally stream music to my phone all day every day (music collection is several hundred gigabytes large).

>>55893047
>The things I do don't require 300Mbps+, so why should I switch?
I didn't tell you to. That's great if it fits your usage.

What I'm triggered by are Wind apologists who claim the network is great, when it's not even subjectively (or objectively) true, and insist that it's a better choice than the Big 3.

>>55893082
>apologists
Not saying that the network is great, just that unlimited data is great and that you get hosed going with the other carriers.

For the odd instances that you have no signal with Wind you can jump onto another carrier's tower or use Wind Away. For the amount of time you need that service you're still paying less than if you went month to month with a larger carrier.

>>55893121
Yeah but the point is that sometimes their network is so slow that you can't even use the unlimited data properly.

Unless you really need the unlimited data or hate RoBellus, there's literally no reason to go with Wind. There are MVNOs owned by RoBellus that use their LTE network, and provide cheaper plans

the introduction of the iPhone and the proliferation of smartphones was a bigger change for carriers than pokemon go has been. obviously each of these things dramatically increased the burden on the network, but smartphones hitting the mainstream was absolutely unprecedented in a way that makes pokemon go look pretty standard faire

It's funny since the networks can't blame piracy or the usual suspects for network congestion as an excuse not to upgrade their networks.

>>55893185
The normies playing Pokemon Go are a serious threat to carriers. Carrier stores are full of normies complaining that their game runs slow

>>55893177
I wonder if it's actually better to use HSPA+ than LTE-A now, because of the congestion

I'm not this guy >>55893167 but I am the person you're responding to.

>>55893082
I've literally never had a problem with Wind's speed. I can watch youtube video's fine and like I mentioned above it's faster than my university's wifi.

By the way, what kind of asshole streams movies to their phone? Not only is it a waste of battery but it ignores the fact that the director didn't mean for the movie to be viewed that way.

sorry, I meant to say I'm not this guy >>55893121

>>55893210
They run on the same bands.

>>55893273
that depends, but LTE and HSPA are still arranged on different bands. I heard some people reporting pokemon go plays better when you turn the LTE off. can't tell if that's because of the better signal or less congestion

>>55893251
>Not only is it a waste of battery but it ignores the fact that the director didn't mean for the movie to be viewed that way.
unrelated, but IMO phone displays are a better experience than the average "2D Digital" theatres these days. I watched a movie few months ago and it was horrible; dim, blurry, washed out colors (and I'm used to sRGB calibrated cokors), and lack of detail. I contacted the theatre and they said there was nothing wrong with the projection and blamed the movie, even though commercials looked just as bad.

>>55893293
Well, on Tmobile they both use band 4 and band 2. So they are the same.

Most other carriers will be the same because upgrades to LTE are easier that way.

>>55893251
>I mentioned above it's faster than my university's wifi.
well you can't really compare apples to oranges. I can claim dialup is faster than shitty wifi too. it'd be better to compare to a stable Internet connection, like the one in your home

>>55893251
>I can't hold all these (You)s

You don't necessarily need to stream to the phone. I use my phone as the in-between while I'm out. My laptop has a high quality display and video out over display port.

^ This is the beauty of unlimited data. I also don't need to be tied to using my phone as the display (I can tether however I like)

>>55893318
I get what you mean, but it's still not the same. LTE and HSPA are still allocated on different blocks. Even if they were, they're different technologies so a congested LTE can't necessarily hurt HSPA

>>55893341
They both use the same bandwidth and the same antennae all the muxing is done in software.

>>55882594

>Using a non-GSM network
>Limiting yourself to only phones that your provider approves of, that are often locked down at your provider's demand

Oh, and I don't get network lag from the game. I do, however, get unlimited data to play Pokemon Go.

>>55893378
And what I mean by that is that LTE is always going to be faster because it requires less bandwidth.

I remember watching a video on coursera that explained how mobile networks worked, and IIRC, it explained that these cells aren't made to support heavy usage. and it had little to do with bandwidth, but it was related to the number of connections that each cell had to support. the more connections, the worse the quality.
I'm far from knowledgeable, though, but... why not? surely they could add more antennas, but then, that also means more noise.

>>55893393
Yeah but again, it's not necessarily the same bandwidth. That's why you see carriers discontinuing CDMA and increasing bandwidth of LTE to, say, 20MHz from 15MHz

You're right. My home speed is also not super fast, I use Teksavvy which gives me unlimited internet at home at slower speeds (fuck yea, torrenting all day every day).

>>55893340
I hadn't even considered this scenario. It's actually a pretty good justification for high speed phone internet.

>>55893427
It isn't really a set range, they mux tons and tons of signals into chunks of the frequency and they only have a set amount of bandwidth to work with, they can use any part of band 4 for LTE or HSPA and even overlap them, if a tower is overloaded on band 4 LTE the band 4 HSPA miiiiight be ok if like nobody is using it but the available bandwidth is totally affected.

You are a sucker.

Besides, your speeds are limited by the health of the swarm anyways. You're only topping out on a ridiculously high speed connection if you're only downloading new releases like some trendfag.

>>55893773

Teksavvy 30 = $45, unlimited usage, month to month payment

>With 300 GB of data you can watch up to 96 hours of shomi in high-definition.
lol, I've watched over 24 hours of HD video in a single sitting. 96 hours per month is nothing.

Teksavvy 60 = $85, unlimited usage, month to month payment
Shaw 60 = $95, $60 first three months, 450GB limit, contract

I bet you even force you to use a shit tier locked down router like Telus does.

>>55893884
You really sound like you're horrible at doing frugal. There are ways to get deals (such as student deals) without resorting to a third party company.

Yes I know it's $80 the second year and $135 afterwards, but you can still get deals. I appreciate the 2 year contract because it actually provides a price guarantee, and Telus doesn't have fibre at my house until 2017.

I have 5 people at my house and use less than 1TB per month even with the heavy usage. Doesn't mean shit that you watch 24 hours of video in a single sitting.

Teksavvy has shitty routing, and you're treated like second-rate if you ever need support by the resellers (Shaw, Telus, Bell, Rogers). There are other disadvantages too. Canada isn't really a great place to do TPIAs. So I guess you do use 15Mbps.

Also, Telus actually provides a bridging option with their router now. Actiontec T1200H has an option to bridge port 1, and there were hidden ways to bridge the older V1000H as well.

You purposefully settle for older, slower technology just because you think it's cheaper. Sad for you.

There are diminishing returns to higher and higher speeds. The amount of time you save in downloading a movie is probably less than the amount of time it takes me to take a shit. Moreover since you aren't even breaking 1TB per month then that means that the majority of the time all of that bandwidth is sitting around unused.


>b-b-but my friends facebook loads really fast.

You're just as dumb as those Aussies who were buying several hundred dollar fiber optic service that hit the quota and dropped them down to dial-up speeds after less than 10 minutes of full speed use.

I actually have two T1200H's sitting around. It's true they have the bridging port option but it's still locked up so tight that it wasn't useful for what I wanted to use it for. Don't even remember why, just remember it was retarded. By the way, when you say "hidden ways" are you referring to the leaked passwords?

Let me ask you, why are you so defensive about slow internet speeds? Is it because you're poor? Given how heavy your usage is (like watching 24 hours HD and torrenting), you must need it. Sounds like you'd never use gigabit fibre.

The people at my household do plenty of heavy usage. Downloading TV shows, streaming YouTube videos and Twitch, torrenting, you name it. Tell me how much data usage you hit then.

By "hidden ways" to bridge V1000H, there was a way to use inspect element in advanced settings and reveal the bridging option.

I read that and just updated anyways since I hadn't played the since like 3rd day it was out. Whatever at least I can downgrade with appadmin or computer backup.

Having a verizon phone is fucking stupid if you travel a lot.

>using botnet go
You're part of the problem.

how do you explain nasa sending and retrieving data from mars then? shouldn't that resources be use on earth for the people?

It's not the speeds that are the issue it's the unlimited usage. I used to live in the US back when unlimited usage was the norm. The idea of having an internet quota is repulsive to me (yes I know some US companies have adopted this since then). I use far too much bandwidth per month to use any of those "fast" but limited plans anyways.

That said, I have used fiber and I honestly didn't notice very much difference. Often my speeds were limited by peers, swarms, servers, or the computer itself (I do machine learning and other hardware intensive shit so it's not unusual for my computer to be bogged down by something at any given point in time) anyways.

>By "hidden ways" to bridge V1000H, there was a way to use inspect element in advanced settings and reveal the bridging option.

Huh, never heard of that. Pretty clever. It's funny that Teksavvy's security would amount to some CSS.

Why and how are Amurican plans this shitty? In yorup we can get >150 Mbps unlimited 4G that covers entire countries with full signal for 15 yuros a month. Yes, you can even dive at the bottom of a remote as fug lake and play pokemon on LTE or stream 4K. Well, you can unless you're on an iPhone because iOS prevents doing anything without wifi...

>unlimited usage
if you have telus, you can easily ask CSRs or retention reps to add unlimited usage for free. they're actually matching shaw lately too, without a contract. With teksavvy, looks like you have to pay like $5 extra

btw here are the current telus student deal:
>Internet 25: $35/mo
>Internet 50: $45/mo

if you have shaw, you're out of luck because their bandwidth police will either threaten you to upgrade or cancel. can't handle the saturated nodes

someone will interpret this is "pokemon go is literally breaking the internet!"

Do they really exist?
None of my friends play it.
