Hey all,
Just came back home for the summer, where the Internet speed is not what I want. At college I could watch Youtube while my roommate streamed Netflix and Spotify, and I could play League of Legends without a hitch.
Here at home, one person streaming a Youtube video (not even in HD) skyrockets my ping to about 400 and online games become unplayable.
I'm looking into bumping up my Internet speed here at home for the summer. We use CenturyLink DSL, and the speed options are:
1.5 Mbps (our current speed)
3.0 Mbps
10.0 Mbps
Would upgrading to 3.0 Mbps allow streaming of Youtube/Spotify/Hulu (not all at the same time) while simultaneously gaming online without lag/high ping?
