This Guy Has the Fastest Home Internet in the United States

[KevinBo]

This is what i call an internet connection, although unless your moving x-rays and CAT scans around with it, i'm not sure why it would be useful for residential use. It definitely has a "wow" factor to it though.

What does the guy with the fastest internet in the United States use his jealousy-inducing bandwidth for? Analyzing X-rays… and gaining an advantage in Call of Duty, of course.

Startup and community-run internet service providers have grabbed headlines over the last two years as they’ve begun rolling out the first 10 gigabit-per-second residential internet connections in the United States. As far as I can tell, though, only one person in the entire country has actually bought one of these connections, which are still incredibly expensive because the technology is so cutting edge.

hmm... Did I read this before?

Good 4 Him

The thing is there is already a company in the netherlands called tweak that offers 10gpbs for consumers in a few areas.

Funny enough, it's not available for businesses

Also the price is suprisingly reasonable, 95 euros.

It does cost you 275 euros to get everything connected and going, tbh not bad

 

Maybe first in the US, but not first in the world

what's the cap?

/s?

Ha, "gaining an advantage in Call of Duty".

 

Ping is responsible there, not bandwidth. 

 

And in all honesty, it's the high ping people that gain the advantage. Laggy people are hard as heck to hit in any online game.

Probably the story on PCGamer that one of their editors had 2 GB home connection. Claiming he had the fastest in the country, but this guy just shits all over it.

 

I can run into bandwidth issues with my internet just by streaming 4k content on 2 PC's. Normally though, I don't have any issues, because I normally only ever have 1 PC actively using the internet at a time. 

 

I'm content with my 150/15 connection I have. It's enough for what I do.

Here I'm sitting at 62/19mbps annoyed how I lost 2MB/s (or 16mbps) of down speed as I used to sit at 75-76Mbps down ;-; 

 

At least I can now download games, watch videos and steam music all at the same time without affecting my ping while gaming so...it's not that bad I guess

It's a joke, he already posted this before, about 15 mins ago.

You guys are nuts. 
 

I'm perfectly happy with my 30 mbps down and 2 mbps up at home.

When you're hosting a drop-box like server+ a website off a connection, every little bit of bandwidth counts  

 

I'm surprised my ISP hasn't kicked me off yet

pfff, 256kB/s, get on lvl scrubs

Sorry to be pedantic but it's latency, not ping as your reliant on the packets returning before the client can update.

That's due to bad motion tracking and interpolation algorithms btw, which is a real shame considering the formulae for doing it cheaply exist in many high-performance math libraries used in particle physics simulation and motion mapping.

No you aren't. Many updates are completely decoupled from packet responses, and with good reason. Frames are never delayed based on lack of response.

ಠ_ಠ meanwhile in Canada people pay $100+ for sub 1mbps in my area. 

[Orangeator]

Wait, so you are saying that this guy gets 1GB/sec download speeds!? What the heck? That is just insane. While I sit here paying $50 a month for 30/4...

When your talking about games yes you are, I mean how is your client and the enemies client supposed to stay in sync if you're not reliant on receiving packets back from the server? 

 

Frames might not be delayed but updates certainly are meaning you just see recycled frames (hence rubber banding) or if it's a server update rate issue then everyone will see choke. 

 

I spent 5 years managing a dedicated box with 4 source engine servers and 18 months managing a second box with BF3 servers on it {we had a max of 256 slots on the box which we could divide how we wanted) so I learnt pretty much everything about gaming servers, update rates, tick rates & interpolation during that time. 

 

Fyi the way Source uses lerp to try and fill in missing frames is pretty broken , clients can override the client update rate to remove the lerp buffer and get a few frame advantage over other players. This wreaks havok with the servers and causes the server to choke really badly. Gldsrc had a client override cvar which valve removed on Source.

In Singapore we got residential 10Gbps lines...

About USD $136 after conversion, as of time of writing.

No throttling or bandwidth cap btw.

I cannot imagine anyone needing such a fast service.

 

While i concur that a 10Gbps is overkill except for a very small minotiry of consumers.

 

i think at that price i'd personally get it for "just cause". Though that would depend entirely on what their prices are on "slower" internet packages.  

 

My ISP is supposed to have 1gig connections available in my area by the end of the year for $99. I am really hoping they come through with that. 

[Misanthrope]

Bro - "Dude I have the best internet on the country, 10gbs!"

Dude - "That's awesome bro, can you like stream in some 4K netflix and shit?"

Bro - "Can't dude, I already went over my 300gb data cap this month"

They don't. They are completely asynchronous. You only update your knowledge of your foes when you get it. If that wasn't the case everyone would be running at the frame rate of the person with the worst GPU. The resolution of who shoots who is entirely handled by the server. You just receive the outcome.

 

No, no you didn't, because I've implemented it. You've only managed it.

[BuckGup]

I was thinking of doing this until I realized it costs millions upon millions
