Author Topic: Need a new internet provider? (Read 5252 times)

Mine sucks. I get about 0.38 mbps upload and 0.96 mbps download. I have some basic verizon internet. I was talking to people and they got over 100 MBPs and I'm sitting here with 0.96. The average is about 3.6. Anyone have a good internet service that you might recommend because the one I have seems to suck when it comes to hosting, I can get max 8 players without lag in blockland.

At some point I need a new router. Mine's a piece of stuff, it rarely works right. I need wireless n so badly.

Rykuta's server had 32 people without lag and I asked him and he said he got around 100 mbps with comcast xinfinity, and jorgur, a long time ago, said he had some fiber optic internet connection which was really good. I am reading reviews that are saying comcast and verizon fios are really good, but I don't know if that is true or not.

ISPs like to confuse customers with MB and Mbit stuff. They always put speeds in Mbits so it would seem bigger.

Protip: Don't game/download on wireless

On the other hand I have comcast and I get 30mb/s but I only get about 180kb/s when I'm on wireless between my nephew/sister/sister's fiance playing xbox on wireless as well. Xfinity is well worth it, heard really great reviews.

Wireless works just fine for me. Good download speeds and everything.
The internet cable which I have on the other hand is piece of crap and drops connection all the time.

This time I used an Ethernet cable:
