ping ping optimizers

Hi

Is it worth installing ping optimizers such as (cfosspeed) ?

[Levent]

nope.

Nope, it's good way to get your private data skimmed and sold off though.

All those things can help ONLY if the issue is your upload-bandwidth. If the issue is literally anything else, then they're worthless.

Have to admit I have not heard of a Ping Optimizer. Sounds up there with "Double your Internet Speed for Free!!!".

Easy steps to lower your ping:

1. Don't use Wi-Fi on the client
2. Don't let unnecessary clients use the network while in session
3. Make sure your network equipment is appropriate for what you're doing and configured for such.

Extreme solutions include physically moving closer to the servers hosting the games you want to connect to.

I will add to the growing responses as well, since most any "optimizer" is bloatware, or some kind of data skimmer.

 

Cfosspeed is a traffic shaper and would only be useful if your networking hardware was struggling to keep up; as it is designed to buffer packets and release them at a more nominal rate to stop burst traffic. If your entire network backbone was Fast-Ethernet from 1995 it might help.

 

But I am doubtful that your setup meets the fringe conditions that would make it useful so it would only increase latency with no benefit.
