slowest internet speed

whats the slowest internet speed you should get for first person shooter games,to keep not loosing pocket data.

FPS games require low pings not high bandwidth.

so you ask ISP abouth that and what they gonna tel you whats the best plan you can get,and they give you ping and bandwidth comes with that plan,i dont think so.

Your ping is related to the distance you are from the gaming server you are connecting to mainly. The more hops it has to take the higher your ping (also some basic quality issues). You could have a 1.5Mbps connection and that would be enough to play almost all FPS games out there. They really don't take a lot of bandwidth, like 8K bidirectional.

no offense! but you missing the point.

Well then you need to explain it better, your sentence structure is horrendous. Your description of the problem then is very vague. You don't lose packets unless you are using a UDP connection and those packets can get lost. TCP packets won't get lost so you wouldn't have to worry.

sorry for delay!i wanna clear my question.is it makes different if you order internet plan let say with DOCSIS 2.0 20Mbps download and get same pocket lost as you have optic fiber line with 50 Mbps download .





updating!

You don't seem to understand networking. The speed you get has nothing to do with packet loss. Packet loss comes from errors or not being able to find a path to the destination host. The higher speeds you get just mean you can transmit/receive more data faster.

You shouldn't lose very many packets on any type of internet. If you are getting a lot of packet loss then there is something wrong.

Yes, wireless internet is different being there can be numerous other factors causing packet loss with it depending on the frequency you are using for the wireless. Like a microwave can effect 2.4G wireless being that is the frequency they work on. Distance from the router is another, other computers running and creating RF, a ton of possibilities.
