Re: Speeds & Latency required for Xbox
Don't use speedtest.net to judge your ping. It's never right when using EVDO for some reason.
Open up a command prompt and type: ping wwww.google.com
or some other website, and that will give you a more accurate listing of your ping stats compared to the speedtest.net site.
For example I just did a speed test at st.net and it shows up as 474ms. I directly ping www.carolinanet.net (same one speedtest used), and it shows an average ping of 166ms.
I play on live just fine with most games, and some games don't work very well. Madden 08 is virtually unplayable.
Gears of war works, iffy, but playable most of the time. Forza 2, Call of Duty 4, Halo 2, Halo 3, and GHIII, all work near perfect for me.
I use my Nintendo DS Lite with my EVDO, as well as my PSP too.
I hope that gives you an idea of what you can expect with a decent signal. |
