ISPs for gaming

Understand These Terms

• Ping Latency measured in milliseconds
• Ping is the time taken by the data packet to
  leave your device, reach the server and return to
  your device.
• Latency is the time taken by the data packet to
  reach the server.

• Estimated Internet Requirements For Online Gaming
• Minimum Data 50-100GB
• Minimum Speed 1-2mbps
• Maximum Ping 75-100ms

• As far as gaming is concerned both ping and
  latency is the most important as real time
  communication is involved in online gaming. So a
  low latency is preferred for a good gaming
  experience than a larger bandwidth

• GAMEPLAY CONSIDERATIONS

• The Gameplay is affected by
• Bandwidth
• Network Quality
• Distant Host

Bandwidth The bandwidth requirements for any
gameplay is minimal. The data movement that
occurs during online game is similar to the data
required to post a message in Facebook.
Distant Host This is basically the distance to
other players. All you can do here is try to
connect to a server that is locally online if the
option is available in the game. However it has
only minor effects on the gameplay.
Network Quality The quality of the network can be
optimized by altering the router and many other
ways.

Bandwidth requirements may be low as far as
Gameplay is concerned, but if the game involves
streaming then bandwidth and ping plays an
important role.

• STREAMING AND COMMUNICATION

• How to Stream Smoothly
• What you need to do is find a good balance
  between the streaming quality and the connection
  speed and consistency

Upload Download Speeds The stream quality
depends on your upload bandwidth. Usually the
upload speed is less than the download speed. So
if your internet plan says 40gbps, then the
upload speed maybe as low as 1gbps

Gaming does not use much Data while playing.
However If you are involved in downloading your
game file via internet this is not the case.

• DOWNLOADING GAMES

• Select The Data Plan Wisely
• Downloading a single game file will have sizes
  Upto 50gb. If you are using the internet to
  download such games then you will need higher
  bandwidth. So pick out the data plans depending
  on how often a game file will be downloaded.

Using high quality gaming routers will make it
easier to enjoy an uninterrupted gaming
experience.

• GAMING ROUTERS

• Gigabit Ethernet Ports
• Compared to Wi-fi, Ethernet connections are much
  faster and reduces latency. However if the
  Ethernet ports are outdated or cannot handle the
  bandwidth ,then it is of no use. In this regard a
  gigabit port is better and delivers better
  performance

Qos/Network Prioritization This can make a big
difference for the gamers. A QoS basically
identifies which device to be given priority. So
even if you have only a single person using the
internet, several other devices may bring down
the bandwidth. A QoS prevents that and gives your
device priority.
