If You Can't Run OnLive, You Have a Below-Average Internet Connection - 56k

[QUOTE="Gxgear"]

That's some high ping, considering the DL/UL :o

On campus connection?

Gxgear

Living on campus like a boss.

That's not the dorm connection is it? From what I've heard those usually sucks.

[QUOTE="Rikusaki"]

OnLive only requires 2.5Mbps to stream 720p.

This is well below our national average and the global household download index.

Me?

2.5Mbps is laughable. Piece of cake.

I just can't belive how many of you gamers have such slow connections.

How long does it take to download something from Steam?

A PS3 update? DLC? How do you all do it?

Why insult other peoples internet connections? 2.5 mps is the fastest internet I can get where I live.

I download 20GB games at 200kbps, like a boss.

HavocV3

try 90-96 kbps. Although I never tried anything larger than ~3Gb demos back when I was dealing with the lowest DSL offered.

has anyone here ever played MP with a 56k(dial-up)? good thing I was a dumb kid who had never experienced anything better back then......

Pfft, mine used to be 50kbps (not dial up). One of the oh so delightful perks of living in a 3rd world country that can't provide even the most basic services :|

with my 20mbps down and 5mbps there is obvious and unforgiveable input lag on games on onlive...its a s*** product and will never catch on till every one has god like connections and there are server centers in every city.

I will stick with Steam and my computer which runs circles around any onlive garbage machines.

yeah, I wasn't being real serious about who had it the worst.

have you seriously attempted a 20gb on a 200 though? that must take more than a day:? I think I was pushing a 10 hour DL with my old connection when I wanted a ~3Gb demo.

crazy.

I have standards. Why would I play games in below SD quality, when I can play them at 2560x1440? :?

And if you do run Onlive, you have a Below-Average IQ.

[QUOTE="HavocV3"]

[QUOTE="Desmonic"] Anything above 100 MB/s is awesome IMO :P I must test the internet speed of my campus tomorrow.. should get some interesting results lol doubt very much it will anything like yours though :)Desmonic

oh god, you're killing me now.

anything above 10 mb is awesome:|:(:cry:

Right now I only get around 40 Mb/s on my laptop and PS3 (wireless) and around 50-60 on my desktop (cable). I don't have 100 Mb/s, but I have tried it at some places and it's great :) Can't even imagine the awesomess of the 380+ Mb/s D4W1L4H gets on his campus :P

I live in a rural area of the U.S. and the ISP we have to go through basically has a monopoly going for them.

but a little competition is exactly what it takes to get things moving. too bad I can't see it happening in these parts anytime soon though.

Haha no. I was exaggerating. The most i've downloaded was 10-15GB. Yea, my computer had to pull all nighters on my old connection.

I will stick with Steam and my computer which runs circles around any onlive garbage machines.

Fizzman

I can probably run it like a dream but why would I want to ???

If you need Onlive to enjoy quality games this gen then ... geee ...well ... sheesh.

Times are hard I guess ?

Let me guess, You live in Denver too =P

Anyway it's the same here, just about 15 miles away in another suburb of Denver my friends get 20mps connections.

I used to play Unreal Tournament (the original) with 56k.

Do I pass ur snob test TC?

I question the accuracy of these tests.

Only 2.5mbps ?

my download speed is 500kb.

GTFO Onlive.

Don't think I can run it. Damn.

That, and Onlive isn't available in Australia. :P

Yup, that's why I like buying physical/digital copies of my games other than streaming them.

Why do all Onlive users have ponies in their avies?GiantAssPanda

I don't know but:

I'm a brony and i have no interest in Onlive.

I'm not going spend extra $$$ nor waste my download limits on large non-persistent reoccurring content.

I'm already spending $110 AUD a month on telo charges.

My internet is way below that and some how I can watch hulu, netflix, and online game on psn/xbla with no lag. And you ask why some have slower connections because they are cheaper or they are the only ones able in the area. You do know that not everyone has the same cable or phone providers and some are not able in certain states. So please get off your high horse TC.

Also I was able to use onlive with a 1.5 mp connection.

If you can't run OnLive...wait...why are you trying to run OnLive?

You rich snobs :(

Virgin 50mb

Soon get a "free" (£2.85 extra monthly cost from april) to 100mb ;)

meh, it does the job.

I just got Batman for a dollar

Do I pass ur snob test TC?

moistsandwich

EDIT: I see that you're 550mi away from the test server, so that's actually very good. ^_^

Here is mine mighty connection

My internet is 25mb, so I'm good.

I pay 60$ a month for 1.5 mbps

Am I good?

Ping is what matters. I can't game with a wireless mouse because of input lag, how do you think i could manage sending my controls to a server hundreds of miles away and back?

HAHAHAH im gangsta i know

Mine isn't below average, but I don't choose to run OnLive. :lol:

Not going to lie, your internet connection isn't even that great, pretty similar to mine and I know mine isn't that great. It's ass to download stuff on PS3 still, though.

Pretty good connection for me todayGxgear

Might aswell join in the GS internet census.
