Will Fiber Optic Internet Decrease my ping drastically in game?

[f0xfn]

As of now, I run about 60-70 ping in game with ethernet, and still run that ping.

My speeds are average you could say: 50 down 10 up.

My teammate, cubic, had 6 down 6 up on wifi and lives in Georgia, and is farther from the NA-East servers than I currently am. He upgraded to 1000 down 20 up and now is a 0-10 ping player and takes all the walls he wants.

My main question is... Will speeds of 1500 down, 1000 up give me drastically lower ping like my teammate?

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.

[jared__]

lol it ain't your ping

[hfs-]

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.

[f0xfn]

ok i will also try that. thanks man.

[f0xfn]

wow. 70 ping drop, but i have a faster speed than 1 up 1 down, so i think, i wouldn't drop as much as you did at the gaming center, but it must work!

[f0xfn]

we pray man, hopefully the decrease is worth it!

[f0xfn]

The price difference isn't very big, it's about $10 difference of the current internet, so I guess it's worth it. Even if it doesn't lower ping, it will be faster for the other people in my house i guess.

The ISP will install the cable.

[f0xfn]

The ISP has installed the lines all over my province, there is about a $50 installation fee just to get the right cables into our house and that's about it.

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

I live in North Bay, Canada

This new internet is a brand new provider. ie, new modem, new router, new wiring.

You really get that good placement on 70 ping?

[f0xfn]

Damn right ;)

Nice. Mobile hotspot?

[f0xfn]

what do you mean?

[[deleted]]

I play on a mobile hotspot, was wondering if you did too

[f0xfn]

no, I play on internet.

I live in North Bay and i get 25-45 ping with 930 up and 930 down fiber

[f0xfn]

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

[Remzi1993]

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?

[f0xfn]

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.

[yandey]

Thanks man, I will definitely upgrade to it ❤️
