NO I CAN NOT GET A PROVIDER LIKE XFINITY, DISH, DIRECT-TV
So I am going to describe my current situation to start this off, and make everything as smooth going as possible.
- Currently I am using a phone hotspot through Verizon (Have been for over 5 years)
- I can only get one provider where I live (HughesNet)
- Current ping avg: 300-400
- Current download avg: 1.2 - 3.6 mbps
- Current upload avg: 0.06 - 0.09 mbps
^^
These tests were executed at 11PM (Better speed at night when family is asleep)
When it comes to gaming on Minecraft. Its playable sometimes, there is always some form of delay whether its half a second, or 2 minutes.
When I attempt to play a more fast paced game such as CS:GO I rubber band like a b**ch. To anyone who isn't used to it. They'd probably want to throw their computer. Kinda just annoys me anymore, at this point I've learned to deal with it.
So the reason I went into detail as I did above was because I know satellite internet (HughesNet's) has downfalls as well. I know that there is multiple signals sent back and forth to get the internet connection to your router. So with hughesnet what I've noticed from other peoples reviews was that they average 600-900 ping. But it was stable, what I mean by stable is that they didn't rubber band nearly as much as I do. They also had muchhhh faster download speed and upload speeds than I do.
So you guys tell me.. Should I stick to Verizon hotspots.. Or should I go to satellite. (Hughesnet Gen 5)
If you have any questions to ask me, ask away! And to all of those who want to be a-holes, from the MC community, please leave this thread.
