| Re: DSL is Latency Solution Yah thats just a big pile of bs. I had a cable connection and my pings were 50-80ms better on cable that I have ever got on DSL. The DSL connection has problems staying connected and is SLOW. I'm going back to cable as soon as they lay the lines in my new subdivision. | |

Latency on DSL was horrible compared to my cable connection. Now with FIOS, it is excellent!

| Re: DSL is Latency Solution my comments are based on comparisons I do with other game players and their connections. there will of course be many exceptions to every rule, yet the majority of best lag game opponents seem more often to be on DSL than Cable. of course, FIOS is a whole different story altogether. | |

united state | Re: DSL is Latency Solution My latency is always lower than Roadrunner's latency here. I wouldn't say that, as service can very by area. | |

Latency to servers is effected by many things, namely number of hops, distance to said server. That being said I have seen some DSL lines with very low latency and very responsive gaming despite being a lot "Slower" then the cable company's tiers.

No connection is better than another at the consumer level IMHO.. It all depends on the peer connection and network maintenance the ISP does.
