Reduce ping?

Actually, it's a common misconception that signals in a cable travel at the speed of light.

The term velocity of propagation measures how fast a signal travels in a cable as compared to the same signal in a vacuum, which would be the speed of light.

In a cat 5 cable or twisted pair, this can be as low as 40% of the speed of light (which is still pretty fast).  In coaxial cable and fiber the averages are about double that depending on a number of factors.

This is for a game. :S
so the only solution would be to buy a wired connection?

Or move on top of the router

If you don't have any cat 5 or 6 cables laying around to try, check with your friends.  A lot of people have spares that they are not using.

Try it and see what happens.

Part of your problem is your upload speed. Generally you want a somewhat higher number than that. Since that updates you in your gaming enviroment

[nomputer coob]

so what can i do to change my upload speed?

Ask your ISP for a better package.

[nomputer coob]

this is their best package. lolz
anyways seems theres no other way than going wired.
thanks for all the replies.

I don think ISPs offer better package, exclusively to cater the 'Upload' speeds!

Fiber-to-Home is the only answer to maintain a SYNC. b/w upload & download rates.

No... You could get the upload speed match your download speed, but I dunno in other countries but here you can max get 1mb upload, due to piracy thing.

So if you want 2mb download you need a other ISP, right now I have 2 different ISP and I can get 2mb up and 500mb down, and they both go trough my phone line, also note that I live 10 miles from the town.

Hello Frejoh!

Are you serious? You live at around 17Km from the Local exchange & you get 500Mbps as a 'Download' rate?

Nah...it must be 50Mbps, Copper lines do support above that rate via VDSL.

Post the speedtest.net result ASAP, with screenshots.

You must be joking!

[Frejoh466]

No, it should bee 500Mb/s down and 1Mb/s  up, but the limit on the upload is only because I don't live in a city, if I was in a city I would get so much the deal with my ISP is.

Screen btw, (tho I could not get a reading from speedtest.net, I had to use bredbandskollen.se) The distance is  ~ 100 miles



The speed wasn't 500 but I guess it was some load on it... And yea, the phone line was laid 2008, and it's not fiber.

Yea, the one on the top is Upload etc.

Where does Sweden rank in fastest broadband speed list? I can't imagine what I would do with that speed. I'm not even getting 1 mbps most days.

A people capable of making something as delicious as swedish berries deserve the fastest speed possible.
