Re: latency (Ping )

upload isn't the cause of high latency unless someone on your network is using the upload or saturating it causing your latency to increase. It's most likely your local area is congested for upstream and you are suffering latency/ping spikes because of this.

If gaming is a must for you a 80/20 VDSL2 connection usually performs better ping/latency wise than VM. especially with jitter.

This is my Aquiss 80/20 VDSL2 Connection.


My VM 350/36 connection is allover the place with ping anywhere between 18-80 in peak hours only gets plugged in for big downloads/used for wifi.

200+ bufferbloat? You're lucky, I just got 2662mS! And that is about typical...

Re: latency (Ping )

I love my first person shooters like the best of them but if you need a guaranteed ping under 30 all the time then you are going to have to look to a non-VM connection for it.

This is pretty typical for my connection.
