Counterstrike: 60ms SOLID... *Head Explodes*

[saffakanera]

How is this little wireless thingy giving me ROCK SOLID 60ms latency on Counterstrike Source...

Please someone explain this to me, I always approached anything wireless as being absolute crap at latency... How is this voodoo possible?

 

[The_Unbeliever]

They did it right from the beginning.

But what happens if my neighbor decides to stream his 50 cents youtube vids? Do Cell C have huge capacity or something going on here? I am sorry but im freaking out right now, how am I getting this latency with a STOKKIE ffs!

It must be 4G then :twisted:

Well dude, think about it, this crap is like a LAN! MTN and Vodacom's services seems so infantile compared to this.

Eish, thats the problem ne?

for me, voda ping is always like this:

200ms
215ms
900ms
1500ms
3000ms
timed out
800ms
500ms

etc...

But with Cell C,
40
39
28
38

etc

Good network management/design & W-CDMA instead of TD-CDMA or TDMA gives you the result.

Just played bfbc2 with ping of 72-78ms Never thought that 3G would be good for any type of online gaming. Guild Wars is at 300ms though........

 

[BobsLawnService]

That is quick.

I'm getting an average of 90 from CPT to JHB and 400 to London.

Let's hope the network stays like this and doesn't get too conjested.

 

[dread]

I can only assume that to be a local CS server

The Diablo2 I play locally also has a <100ms ping , but anything overthewaters has the usual 300-500ms

 

[saffakanera]

Look I mean 400ms etc overseas is understandable, BUT getting < 100 local SOLIDLY for 3G is intense! If only they would allow a larger bandwidth for local cap, many a happy gamer will be made!

BobLawnService; Yea dude, im praying the network is wide enough to cope with peeps and their 50 Cents HD streaming, because good God people love doing that crap.

I get amazing pings, uploads and downloads too - but everyone tries to scare me with 'enjoy it while it lasts' and 'network conjestion'

But if my Cell C TRIPLED their ping, DIVIDED download speed by FOUR and uploaf speed by TEN - it'd still be quicker than my Vodacom

Yes - 300ms, 1mbps down and 200kbps up is still faster than my Vodacom :/

 

[saffakanera]

Do you guys think its just that Vodacom/Mtn are just over congested because of subscriber base, or is Cell C's protocols just absolutely better?
