Always at the far end of the pipe

Oh how I dream of > 2mbps! Even too far from BT cabinet for a decent Fibre install would be paying 4 x the price for still less than 10 mbps. We live in a fairly large town as well not in the sticks!

@markdiss - ouch!

So what does this all mean in relation to Elite: Dangerous? Does it mean that people like markdiss are going to get killed all the time because most other people will have better connection speeds and ping times?

Mine:
Download 6.91 Mb/s
Ping 55ms

I can imagine Elite Dangerous will be very gear based? I don't worry about ping times that much. It also depends on where the game servers will be located. I played MMO on US servers from the EU and I did ok in pvp, no problems at all in pve.

Also I assume laws of physics apply and you can't (for example) 180 degrees rotate with velocity and such. And other stuff. Like thrusters. And other stuff ;)

Just over a year ago the Infinity checker dismissed my village - it wasn't even planned - then one day I was told I could have fibre! Maybe some local businesses pressured BT into upgrading them.



I'm hopeful the mix of server- and P2P-based communication I've heard about will make the international multiplayer experience much better for both ends than the traditional client<>server<>client method.

Provided the position data is in the P2P comms of course

Speed usually doesn't matter - it's ping - response time back to the server that does as communication traffic tends to be small UDP packets. However as ED will feature some P2P links that should even things up.

A bit slower than usual this evening, normally more like 2.3Mb. Still not bad being 5Km from the exchange. Worst thing is the cabinet is FTTC but as I'm over a Km away from the cabinet they won't enable Infinity on our line (can't guarantee 8Mb).

Not sure if I added this right... :)



Yep I did. Above is the test to my ISP. Not very relevant. This one is from Australia to London. Quite relevant for me assuming the servers will be hosted in UK.

In my town (Gothenburg - Sweden), the City Council decided 6 years ago to build optic fibre to every rental apartment (70.000 ish.). I have my optic connection now and it give me:
- 100Mb internet
- 20 TV channels
- Phone
Cost me 350 SKr (9€ or 7$ or 11£) / month, more information about offers from our ISP´s (http://framtidensbredband.ituxportalen.se/tjanster), in Swedish but I think you understand.
Gaming is no problem on the net 
