![]() I strongly suggest that instead of me calling myself to check on my own connection, you instead investigate really what is latency and what can affect it. Fair queueing is handled as transparently as possible. Still, I can tell you that at least 3/4 of the biggest ISPs here in Portugal do not prioritize "business class" traffic over regular customer traffic. If, and this is just an hypothetical situation, you had the ADSL connected to the backbone through the same style of hops and CMTSs as a fiber connection, and the routing was handled the same way, you'd get very similar latency values. The bandwidth has next to zero impact on your latency, saturation will not affect just lag, those are simply popular misconceptions on how these technologies work. The difference is minimal anyway and is not based on overcrowding (which will affect not only latency but actual bandwidth too) but really on the routing. Maybe you are comparing ADSL to FTTH, I'm on a HFC style connection. ![]() Not all companies have the same policies and not all technologies work the same way. I like to do a lot of bandwidth intensive tasks outside of wow and couldn't really imagine running with anything slower than what I have or with something with a bandwidth cap.I _work_ for my ISP, and unlike you can tell you that what might be true over there certainly isn't true everywhere. It really depends on what you use your internet for outside of wow for on how much download speed you want. If you're just raiding and doing basic tasks with your connection, you'd be fine with the basic Cable Internet/DSL package. If you were having more latency on a 120 MBPS fiber line, you probably want to contact your ISP and see if there was a problem with the setup. A 120 mbps fiber line would be considered a business class line and be less crowded, and have less latency issues than a adsl line. ADSL lines tend to be more crowded since ISPs like to load as many people on them as they can, especially if you bought a lower connection speed. I like to do a lot of bandwidth intensive tasks outside of wow and couldn't really imagine running with anything slower than what I have or with something with a bandwidth cap. It's the routing, the number of hops, etc that counts.I'm going to call you out on this. Your bandwidth isn't that important for your latency. Now I have more lag with a 120 mbps optic fiber link. ![]() Write down the speeds and in less than 10 minutes you can stop eating Tylenol, and enjoy hearing your kids yell at someone else online rather than each other.My best latency ever was back when I had 512 kbps ADSL. And you will stop having to listen to kids yelling at each other about lag, long load times. parents just get this app, find the hot and cold spots for signal strength. So finding the optimal spot in the house to place the router for strong WiFi speeds for everyone was. I have two kids with xboxes, iPhones, tablets ect. As for the app: it is a very good tool to find hot/cold WiFi spots in your home (or business) check ping, upload/download speeds and monitor the overall use of bandwidth. ![]() I can respect that from a consumer standpoint. Obviously the developers know they have a strong and useful app, and rather than make you pay to remove ads they know that having a product that works as it should will prove the worth of purchasing other products from them. They DONT force you to pay to remove ads. ![]()
