✭✭✭✭I play on a T1, 1.5mbps shared down/up. No problems playing any PvE content or BGs but in huge Cyro keep fights I lag out hard.0 -
iiYuki✭✭✭✭✭<1.1MB with a average ping of 60-80."Play how you want... unless its not how we intended you to play in which case we'll nerf it".

Internet in Australia is shirt house.
A change in government lead to a change to the roll out of our National Broardband Network (NBN).
Had 6 Mbps prior to NBN, 24 Mbps on switching to the NBN, and after recent NBN upgrades I get 36 Mbps. For the privilege of this blistering internet speed I pay $90 per month.
Latency at best is in the high 200s and probably averages at around 350.
The NBN is terribly congested in the afternoon after school finishes. Eso is pretty much unplayable. Can't even watch Youtube during this time, you get the blue "experiencing interruptions" icon.
Would pay to slap people that complain about their 100-150 eso ping.Edited by Diddly_D_Potatoes on August 18, 2018 7:36PM2 -

I'm reminded of installing one in our office in the late '90s (well, 2 Mbits over here, but same thing: importantly, no latency!) which my co-worker loved taking advantage of to pwn all the kids in Quake with their awful laggy dialup.I play on a T1, 1.5mbps shared down/up.

✭✭✭✭✭15 Mbps up, 150 Mbps down according to my ISP.
Speedtest.net gives me even faster results than that.
But it doesn't matter. All that matters is ZoS servers and their own bandwidth in and out of the server buildings, and how well they handle the traffic and calculations when it gets really busy. That's a mixed bag unfortunately.0 -
UnseenCat✭✭✭✭About 90Mbps down and 18Mbps up here, but it's a "Business Class" cable line, which gives those speeds all the time, every time -- not like conventional consumer cable lines with inflated burst speed ratings that drop down to who-knows-what "best effort" mode.
ESO and online gaming in general doesn't need a ridiculously fast local connection, just reasonably low latency on your end (It helps a bit if your connection just holds steady to whatever given speed it's supposed to be running at) -- and hope for the best on ZOS' end.0 -

That's the most frequent problem I've experienced, unfortunately. Occasionally it's at my end: once or twice it was due to my DSL being glitchy, another couple of times because Steam chose that moment to download something, but the vast majority of times the problem is evidently at their end and is resolved by quitting and restarting.... and hope for the best on ZOS' end.0 -
Pink_Violinz✭✭✭✭✭My new dorm gives me a wonderfully slow 15 down. I've been playing for maybe an hour and already had to fight my console to log in.0 -
Finviuswe✭✭✭✭I have 1 GB internet, buddy's because I live in the stats. Glad I'm not Aussie!!
And that's not even fast0 -
Saluka✭✭Mine caps at 12MB/s or 100Mbps and maybe 2MB/s upload if I'm lucky. Game is still playable with a constand 246ms ping exactly each time.0

✭✭✭78MB/s down, 19MB/s up, which matters not 1 jot as the Frankfurt datacentre
appears to be connected via a wet piece of string and running a network and hardware which would have looked old in the '60s
rtt is worse than a Korean MMO server from here, and a lot worse than any single server western MMO located in the US ...“Be as a tower, that, firmly set,

✭✭✭✭✭As long as you get a few MBs upload and a decent download you should be find. Online games don’t typically send and receive large amounts of data. As others have said your location and path matter a lot more. Now if you play from really far away, or from another country, a 10mb upload speed can easily turn into a 2mb upload speed once it finally reaches ZOS servers. Where a small bandwidth limit will start to affect your gaming is when you’ve got other people using it or you’re downloading or streaming at the same time. If you’re just one person you don’t need to go crazy with internet speeds if you can’t afford it. Focus on a good modem and/or router and then purchase speeds that fit the number of people in your household and what you’re typically doing at one time. And play via Ethernet and not WiFi.Edited by Vapirko on August 19, 2018 12:51PM0 -
