how.. the hell America why is your net speeds so damned high, no seriously in the uk finer optic you'd be lucky seeing 15mb/s and your in the hundreds o..o

I live in america and my net speed is not even half that guys qq...mine is grade B and only like 33 mb download, 6 upload and like 10 ping....Comcast lies when they say they are the fastest internet ><'

If you're truly getting 10ms ping to Montreal... than they actually may be telling the truth. You just have a narrow pipe that is restricting your overall throughput, but a 10ms response time is wicked fast--that's a measure of the round trip time for a single packet to get delivered and acknowledged at the other end, which is a more appropriate way to reference your speed for online gaming...your network's response time.

Mediacom offers up to 150mb down and 20mb up over coax. Fastest I could find in my area. I wish I had dat google fiber though >=)

America has this odd internet situation. In large metropolitan city areas (think downtown Seattle of NYC) the competition for wealthy business is high, so internet companies are constantly upgrading infrastructure. Plus everything's closer together. Incidentally, these places are usually expensive as hell to live. The surrounding areas tend to have it decent but nowhere near the blistering speeds of 100 Mb/s+ as the number of service providers thins out, and competition starts to slow.

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

I just wanted to say... The US player in my static has ten times more often lags than we EU players do. It's hilarious really that you have such great speeds but routing sucks.

EDIT: Spelling. Staying up for patch and patch notes not such a good idea.. I should go to bed <_<

Yeah, it's almost as if the resources being used to build those 120 mb/s connections are being wasted because data is still being moved over routes that haven't been updated since 1995 or something. :^)

Here's some tests to the area from the same system. There can be a lot of jitter on the way, depending on the path taken.

Fibernoire (70ms):


TELUS (86ms):


ElectronicBox(51ms):


Openface Internet(51ms):


cronomagic(46ms):



And here's a ping/jitter test (no Montreal link, ON is the closest one to QC):

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.
