Re: Internet Speed question and lag
lets see,
lag has nothing to do with the download speed, but your upload speed can help a lot to get it better.
on the other hand in games ou can only avoid lag by having a good ping other than a good pc of course.
in your case 147ms is quite laggy imo
you can do folowing test:
go on ESO
in windows, run "cmd"
type netstat
press enter
now you should be able to see the ip of the ESO server you are on
memorize that ip, write "ping xx.xx.xxx.xx" i the console (replace x with teh ip you get)
then you'll see your ping on the eso server

Re: Internet Speed question and lag
The server you are testing against is 300 miles away, so your ping is showing quite slow, a closer server may give you a slightly better indication, if you get down to around 30ms or so you'll be fine. Still quite a high ping for 30 miles though......

Well chaos, a 73 ping is playable but a bit stiff, as our experience with you out there indicates.
Anyone on a wireless connection has a number of ping-reducing options, including going wired and reducing packet sizes. Dropped packets (which trigger a re-send attempt) can cause lag and artificially inflated ping.
Any chance you are running wireless Highlander? 147 is quite high, and would be high even for a dial-up connection.

Yeah, but the uni provide the connection, so I don't think there is anything I can do. Next year it should be better (hopefully)
