Hi guys, saGus here. Some of you might be aware of my internet problem concerning a housemate who doesn't understand p2p torrent rapes bandwidth, so I'm considering a desperate move to buy wireless broadband dedicated to only sc2.
U guys have any experience on playing with wireless broadband? maxis, digi?lag issue? quota issue? Coz I have monitored the speed when playing, 1k-10kbps only, but i dunno what happens if there is patch update. Pls help guys. I miss SC2!  |

QUOTE(xgrayfox90x @ Feb 2 2013, 12:22 AM) hi bro..=) i usually use Dongle 4G for my broadban connection...pretty good, i must say..=) Thx man. Yeah, got myself a dongle 3 weeks back based on ur advice. still hav a .4 or .5 sec lag but still better than nothing. I'd say its a good temporary solution.  but thk god I got my streamyx 4mbps already. huhuQUOTE(EnTaroAdun23 @ Feb 18 2013, 05:53 PM) I've just recently moved to another condo which unfortunately does not have DSL/Fiber coverage. So I'm now stuck with using Maxis wireless broadband. wow, 300KBps, shuld be more than enuff. no lag at all? i always use my overlord to test lag, try to see how fast it change direction.I use my Galaxy S2 phone as a HSDPA+ modem and access point. I live on the 10th floor so I guess I could rate my broadband experience as so-so. If I get HSDPA+ signal, I could download up to 300KBps. However, there are times that I could only get an EDGE signal, which drops speed to an unfortunate 10KBps. If I get HSDPA+ consistently, playing on Bnet is ok. I've played a few custom games, but I wouldn't wanna risk playing on ladder though. |

QUOTE(ongweiping @ Mar 3 2013, 08:38 PM) Erm.. .guys, return to play SC2 for practise... vs AI. But found laggy in custom game... using streamyx 1mbps in Genting Highland btw. Is it only me? intermittent lag... Adui, hard to enjoy like that. zzz should be okay man. I was fine with 1mbps for a long time when playing (until my stupid housemate opened torrent). sc2 only use around 1-10kbps anyways during gameplay, so I'm guessing there must something else using ur bandwidth. maybe some background programs? |

QUOTE(mules @ Mar 4 2013, 12:26 PM) wireless YES, maxis etc mobile provider is not really an option. You might get good latency test but when in actual game with latency on, u will notice the ping jump up and down. So sometimes u will be amazing on your micro and suddenly your banshee flies like Malaysia airforce. Yup, thats one downside. Inconsistent signals. Even 1mbps is enuff as long its landline.I am in singapore now, same problem, only landline is reliable. |
