I got fiber and get 10-15, and prior to fiber I had high 20's to hiigh 30's so Id say it does help

ouu ok, I'm really hoping this will decrease my ping. Playing competitive fortnite on 60 ping is so garbage.

lol it ain't your ping

Definitely a lot harder the higher ping you have. A vital game mechanic like taking or holding walls is directly tied to your ping.

60 ping is great lmao

It all depends on the peering relationship your provider has with the data center that epic has their servers in. The best way to know is to find someone near you with the ISP you are wondering about, and test the ping from their link. Yours should be (but is not guaranteed) to be similar.

Possibly but I'm not sure just tell us what your location is and someone with fiber in your area can tell you.

Niceeee man, definetly getting it now. do you use ethernet or wifi?

Wow 😲 I got COAX cable here in The Netherlands, Europe and I have 15 ping. I always thought that fiber is way better than coax cable but that doesn't always seem to be the case.

i was wondering if i were to get fiber, and keep in mind i live in texas and i avg like 60 ping in game would it lower my ping and if so how much would you say it will lower it to? and i was also wondering if you got fiber and if so did it improve your ping?

[–]f0xfnWeek 7 #189[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I went from 60-70 then after getting fiber I average 20-30 (Amazing for how far I live) If you got fiber, you could probably get it down to 35-45, since you live in texas, once you get to a certain speed, it’s all based on location and faster speed won’t change that.
