I'm wondering what matters the most for you hardcore gamers out there.

How're you even surviving with some of the crappy connectivity we hit when playing some serious games!?!?

The most important is: Bufferbloat.
ISP that have Anti Bufferbloat is TIME and Viewqwest Malaysia.

Unifi to Telekom Malaysia speed test server: ~7ms
Viewqwest to Telekom Malaysia speed test server: ~5ms
[attachmentid=10536299]

Having no 0ms Bufferbloat is heaven, you can run Download or Upload all the time but latency not effected!

First time I've heard about bufferbloat.

Did a quick read up about that - and trying to understand what it is vs what you're saying.

Just reading off https://www.bufferbloat.ne seems to indicate this is device issue?

And when you mention that TIME and Viewqwest is anti bufferbloat - can i assume you're referring to the device still or some other setup within their network?

Bufferbloat is a massive big D

So silly - i figured out recently, probably due to the heavy thunderstorms late - my ONT unit was turned off for some reason, and the wifi router's connection fallback to the USB 4G dongle unit

Latest test - looks good! Check it out:

Consistent performance and no ping spike.

Good routing is a huge plus. I notice TIME have a better routing to SG Steam server than TM.

How do you see whether TIME or TM has better routing etc.?

My PSN connection quite unstable - but that maybe my poor wifi coverage towards the wifi router sad.gif cry.gif

True, Maxis and the other ISPs riding on TM Wholesale HSBB should bring this up and sue TM Wholesale for this double level capping(bufferfloat) making competitors look bad.

On the account side already capped accordingly, why must cap the ONT as well and make it exactly the same speed as the soft side? (Example cap the ONT exactly at 30M, 50M, 100M, 300M,500M..etc).

That way the customer will always made to absorb the extra TCP/IP overhead getting less.
(Example subscribe 30M only get 28M max, 100M get only 95M, etc.)

They do this on their competitors but they don't do it on their own ISP? That is DOUBLE standard!

It's time Maxis, DiGi and even Celcom who ride on the HSBB network to sue TM for this anti-competition dirty move.

I do wonder - from an end user's perspective, does it matter so much that for e.g. this overhead may be reducing the "full" speed of the network?

I'm just questioning, because, generally, under most scenarios, whether downloading, or streaming stuffs - we generally can't utilize the full speed anyways, and often times, are hampered by the server side who most often times cannot deliver such performances also?

I'm curious to know if anyone knows about "Gamers Private Network" - e.g. wtfast and if anyone is using the service.

Does it actually work? smile.gif

Just wondering if anybody's using wtfast (GPN - Gamer's Private Network)?

Does it do wonders?

Seems like ASUS uses it in their solution with their gaming routers
