wow 512kb streamyx can get 200-300 ~

in short ~ copper > fiber optic ~ great!

read a few page back if you still doubt what I say... btw you already answered you own question lol...
anyway you still have SEA korea server to fall back to as a last resort...

Introducing Global Play for Diablo® III
by Blizzard Entertainment 02 May 2012 08:20 UTC 11

Want to take on the hordes of the Burning Hells with a friend from halfway around the world? In Diablo® III, you’ll be able to play on game servers in regions outside your own, with a few restrictions, using Battle.net®’s new Global Play functionality. Here’s how it works....
Diablo III’s global game servers are grouped into three distinct game regions:
The Americas - For players in the US, Canada, Latin America, Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia.
Europe - For players in the European Union, Eastern Europe, Russia, Africa, and Middle Eastern countries such as Israel and the United Arab Emirates.
Asia - For players in South Korea and the regions of Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau.
In general, players will create characters and play in their “home” region, which is determined by where they live (specifically, the country of residence registered to their Battle.net account). Global Play gives players the ability to switch to any of the other game regions via the in-game options menu, either before or after they log in to the game.
Note that characters, items, and friends lists do not transfer across regions. Playing on a different region’s servers means you’ll be creating characters and friends lists specifically for that region, and you’ll be accessing the gold-based auction house for that region.
In addition, players will only have access to the real-money auction house (where applicable) when playing in their “home” game region. That means that, for characters outside of your home region, items cannot be bought or sold in any real-money auction house. The focus of Global Play is simply to give you the ability to play Diablo III together with your friends in any region.
For more information on Global Play in Diablo III, see the FAQ.

I'm doubt becoz copper should be slower than fiber optic ~
and my frens using unifi not always on 200-300 ~

then u said streamyx 512kb can be on 200-300

from what u have said ~ ppl can save $$$ install 512kb streamyx ~
no need unifi ~

There's always the pause button

but unifi have tons of bandwidth just not super fast latency...maybe that will change in the future who knows...

well some ppl install juz to play diablo 3 ~ or other online games ~

assuming tm terminal ping us server is 200-300 for everyone in the nation ~
the oni delay is between our router and tm server

but now u all proved tat no or same delay ~ using streamyz or unifi ~

wats the point implement unifi  since i heard copper can support up to 10mb badnwidth

Someone had posted about this giving an excellent example.
I'm just gonna re-phrase it again.

Imagine bandwidth as the capacity/width of a pipe.
Latency is the speed of water flowing in the pipe.

Unifi has a bigger "pipe" (bandwidth).
But if the source transfer the "water" latency is slow, it doesn't matter how big of a pipe you have.
Unless of coz you are doing multiple transfers at once then yes, the speed will still depend on the "transfer rate" but you have bigger "pipe/bandwidth" to let the data to be transferred.

At the same time, if you are using screamyx (imagine 1mm pipe ) and you want to have transfer rate of 5mbps? sure overflow and cannot fit in the pipe la~

hmmm I read some ppl say port forward can speed up your ping some ppl say does not make a diff...anybody can help me on this???

yeah ~ I get your point ~ juz i couldnt believe tat there is no diff using copper and fiber optic ~
same speed ~

well ~ it makes a diff if many PCs connected to the router ~ atleast for me i didnt notice any diff ~ one PC only ~

yeah ~ I get your point ~ juz i couldnt believe tat there is no diff using copper and fiber optic ~
same speed ~

using 1MB screamyx and about 30 minutes to go.

total of 18 hours download at ~100kbps

I'm doubt becoz copper should be slower than fiber optic ~
and my frens using unifi not always on 200-300 ~

then u said streamyx 512kb can be on 200-300

from what u have said ~ ppl can save $$$ install 512kb streamyx ~
no need unifi ~

The fiber optic is just within Malaysia (for Unifi).
It is not they upgrade the backbone to overseas (I may be mistaken on this)
But that's the main TM "pipe" to overseas and the latency/speed has not changed much there.
Furthermore, we are 1/2 way around the world from US, latency will be there.
It is not TM pull a direct fiber cable to D3 server

p/s you can ask them to do that.... if you are super rich. Please share ur connection with me and the rest here tho

Yeah ~ I'm actually referring o the speed from our router to tm terminal ~
if streamyx and unifi (copper vs fiber optic) no difference ~
they shouldnt implement unifi until they upgraded everything (within nation)
