Patch, can I have it?

Also these extreme speeds are pretty useless for most of us. Our data gets bottlenecked by our providers anyway.

Exactly. Most people don't need such high download speeds anyway unless they live with a family that all share the same connection. If you got a lot of people all using the same internet, then you would need more bandwidth to play with or everything chokes. For the results I posted earlier, my family and I pay for those kinds of speeds because we are always online (PC, phone, tablet, game consoles, etc) and multiple devices can eat up a lot of data. If you live alone or don't have people who hog your net, you can easily get away with a lower speed and there'd be little difference in downloads.

i think mines broken, because I get lag everyday at prime time and why is my upload so high @_@

you lag because of latency/packet loss issues, not your bandwidth. Two exclusively different measurements of your "speed" on the internet that work together to determine your actual throughput during a given download--one term is misinformation from the ISP's to the point everyone uses it to represent their speed, while the other is the more appropriate metric to use. The game typically uses less than 1.2Mbit/sec bandwidth on average--it's far more dependent on you having consistently low latency than an absurdly wide bandwidth.

I have super-noob basic internet and can count on 1-hand the times I've lagged in game.

Because unfortunately, your down and up speed is completely unrelated to ping/latency, and it is the ping to the GAME servers (not the speedtest server) that causes the lag. Your internet connection is probably dropping packets somewhere between your house and the game servers.

I won't even post the results, mine's horrible.

I still want to download early though ^^.

my Comcast speeds are great 1100 miles away.

Do I win?

So many people with seemingly low connection speeds, it seems weird these days.

It's the nature of this country which has substandard infrastructure and won't spend a penny to upgrade it because "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
We only have a single ISP that services this area and they charge $87 a month for a download speed of 3Mbs (also includes phone). That's the fastest and ONLY speed they offer. They get away with it because they have a monopoly over the entire area, so there is no competition to drive their costs down (or their quality up). There is no competition due to a shady backdoor deal they made with Comcast 11 years ago that neither one would move into eachother's regions so they could jack up prices as much as possible without competing. They literally set up a dividing line in the county. If you live south of the line, you only get Comcast. If you live north of the line, you only get Windstream. Both ISPs are making a killing off of it. Verizon can't even get a foothold because the mountains block 90% of cell service (so only a handful of the population even has cell phones). To build a new network, it could cost them millions and they wouldn't get a return for it, so they don't bother.

For much of the U.S., decent internet is restricted to metropolitan areas and the surrounding suburbs. If you don't live in either of these, you're only option is internet access that was oudated back in '95 because no one wants to, or simply can't, update the lines.

This is mine and I seem to do fine on my PS4 with a wireless connection.
