My ping was fine in that test bouncing off a server in Boston. In a shitty Peer-to-Peer connection where the host player is God knows where? It's all over the place, sometimes good and sometimes bad. Plus, that test didn't show packet loss and jitter. If they had launched pingtest.net at the time I recorded this then I could have run that it it would have shown a major difference.

@MistaX8

what are u trying to say? that dsl ping is worse than cable? lol..i have a friend that pays 10 bucks a month for a old school 512k at&t connection they dont offer anymore and he still out pings my timewarner roadrunner 20mb+ connection which sits around 50ms ( im not yanking your pp)....im just letting you know that if you have the right hardware (stock at&t modems are shit) your ping will be fine and your online experiance will not suffer

I'm trying to say that my ping wasn't always good. I know there are people out there with better DSL experiences than I have had. Mine was a terrible one. Plus, Verizon likes to lock all their shit down so that you have to use their shitty modem. The one they give you for their Fios service works 600 times better thankfully. The ones they give you for DSL work great for a few months and then all of a sudden you are stuck powering them on and off all the time just to make it work.

Looks like you are comparing slow speed DSL ( I pay 9.99/month) with FIOS. You are comparing Apples to Oranges.

BTW whe I got into going online we were doing a whoping 1500BPS once in a while you would find a BBS that only supported 750.

@richlaue

That's the point. I was trying to show what a massive difference it is to have fiber over DSL.

And I'm not sure exactly how much it was but we were getting bilked for more than 9.99 for that slow as shit DSL.

Does 'Call of Duty: World at War' ring any bells?

I could have got DSL 4X faster at $34.99, very cheap for today. My 9.99 was a special never go up intro fee. I use it mostly for text off-line media. note: I grew up with 56K not 700+M connection.

DSL has limited distance, FIOS initial cost is expensive, unlimited distance and once in cheap to add customers. Tel-cos hate DSL, no money in it.

With FIOS and DSL you have your own pipe to the ISP, cable you share the pipe with all your neighbors.

ie: no cable speed on Christmas.
