Guys with Unifi 5mbps.

you got problems playing dota 2 ?

i mean everything is smooth but when my gf started loading videos in fb or youtube via iphone i get like 400-500 ms ping.

is it just me or everyone else ?

using wired connection btw

Your unifi port is 5mbps, when no people is consuming bandwidth, meaning you are the only one who using internet, it won't cause problem, but if a person joins the connection and starts loading videos/downloading stuffs, your 5mbps bandwidth is being distributed to your gf's iphone and causing internet congestion, thus increasing latency of your connection, in order to avoid this from happening, set QoS in your router so your dota can preserve certain amount of bandwidth which prevents latency from increasing when someone is using your connection.

Hope it helps.

+1 to this. but i also tested unifi 5MBPS, torrent on another laptop - 12GB download

Played dota 2 on my laptop no lag / spike.

I think the problem starts when streaming. ( Youtube, Stream movie, Tv series )

I am just using 1mb streamyx, can play lag free.

Roughly 50kb/s used during game.

how do you set QoS ?

I got no problem with sharing my network connection but sometimes it just lags me like crazy.

Most of the time is because of loading videos or loading bunch of photos in fb.

QoS is quality of service and it is readily available in your router, go to your router setup page, mostly 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 depending on your router setup, then find QoS setting and apply the ip and port, for more info you can try to find in lowyat network section. I believe someone had asked before in network section.

nvr faced that kind of prob before. almost everyday my sis youtubing while i was playing d2, still smooth like my ex's skin.

Even with VIP20 I experience this... Lagness and spike..

Back in Msia with Unifi (the 90bucks one), I get 10-20ms. Missed those times

faced the same problem before

even my hometown 512kbps smoother than unifi vip5. not sure why, the ping is more stable and wont fluctuate much.

lol i using 52kBps internet no lag at all, how about your 625 kBps (5mbps) unifi also lag?

Anyone facing severe spike while playing D2 with VIP5 recently? Only connected to my laptop via UTP but when I load youtube in the background I can't move at all. = =

smooth no issue ^^

my dota is unplayable when someone is streaming...

Use TP Link routers and cap the bandwidth on other devices.
