    Interesting video! I have an important question I'd like to ask which I have been curious to know for some time. Does a pure fibre connection sort out multiplayer latency with faraway countries? For example playing a game like FIFA UK or US vs Australia is associated with serious latency delay where after you press the button the ball is passed 2-5 seconds later. This is extremely frustrating to the point where I have to avoid being matched up with people from Australia, New Zealand, India, etc as the online gameplay experience is totally unplayable.
    Now the question is if I had a pure Fibre to the premises connection and the opponent from Australia/New Zealand also had a pure Fibre connection, will this solve or improve the latency/lag issue online with these players so the online gameplay experience was smooth as if you were playing in the same continent? Or is the technology still not advanced enough to face such players online from faraway countries? If fibre broadband does not solve the latency issue in multiplayer online then I would have less regrets about not having it yet!

    • @JohnGlasscock
      @JohnGlasscock  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Matchmaking is determined by the game server algorithm not the type if internet you have. The servers usually look at your geographical location based on your IP when matchmaking. If both you and your friend had pure fiber it's possible the latency would be lower but there would definitly still be higher than desired latency

    100% with you on the gateway thing. Although I'm sure the ISP provided equipment can supply the speeds on the contract. At least you can put your own router in DMZ if you can't set the gateway to bridged mode and have to deal with double NAT.

    The thing i found is some providers might have the same speeds as others but the ping might be worse , the ping is vital that its the best it can be for online gaming as the actual data that is transferred between games is not that much at all so a relatively cheap dsl package that has decent ping is all you need of course that's where you need to do your homework and know what your provider is actually providing.

    I have AT&T Internet, fiber optic and it’s a really good experience. The last time I had Internet in my name before 2020 was with Frontier from 2016-2018 and that was 5 Mbps. I could barely play any games a lot of times on my PS4, then for a couple of years when there was someone’s house I was living at that one was 40 Mbps through U-Verse, good but not great. The 1000 Mbps has made such a huge difference for me especially since I have multiple devices connected to it although most of it not simultaneously. My phone, tablet, PS4, PS5, and security cameras all work well within the system just fine. Of course it helps that I live by myself too but still, fiber Internet is definitely the way to go if you can afford it.

    I dont know man, but from my experience everytime I've upgraded speed wise my ping has gone down. Maybe it's because they upgraded the equipment at the same time. My isp sends fiber to the node and then copper from the node to house. They call it a hybrid internet. It has been very reliable, not much to complain about. Soon though another company will be installing fiber in my area so I'm very anxious to try it out. Also it seems that my overall performance in multiplayer games have gotten significantly better with each increase in internet speed. With that being said I live out in the sticks far away from any servers so if I can get an internet speed that shortens the time it takes to send information to those servers then sign me up. In my opinion faster is always better as long as quality is there to.

    I used to have Comcast too until I discovered, after upgrading some network equipment, that their connection was bottlenecking my network...
    I was getting some terrible bufferbloat and I didn’t have a good QOS in place. Which, you don’t actually need on a gigabit fiber since it’s highly unlikely you will be saturating that connection so you aren’t really losing anything much. I find QOS to hurt my throughput more often then it helps. I get consistent 900-950Mbps upstream and down with it off but will dip into the 800’s with it on.
    Also, I advise against using upnp, it’s convenient but at the cost of network security... Port forwarding would or even triggering would be a better choice. Still not secure, but less vulnerable than upnp... The best way, if you can afford it, would be to invest in an extra router and switch and isolate them on separate VLAN from any important devices.
    As for the “required” gateway issue, that one was pretty trivial to sort out... I’ll send you a message about that one if you’d still like to use your own router... 😏

    To me ping and packet loss are much more important than bandwidth. 100 mbps is honestly enough for anything, most servers won't even let you transfer 1 gigabit nor would it make a difference if they did. But 0% packet loss and a tiny ping make things feel so much faster and snappier... and that is why fiber is best.

    I live in a mountain town and am straight up convinced that the path up the canyon is badly made, because pinging Denver which is about 40 miles is 22-25ms. I imagine there's some packet loss that adds to the issues as it goes beyond that too.
    I hope that living in Longmont with fiber internet will cut ping by roughly 30ms for most servers. Or I guess if I had gigabit fiber I could run a server if I was willing to pay $10 a month in electricity.

    I live in a rural area, surprisingly enough there is a buissness about a half mile down the road that (I beleive) has fiber internet, right now im using a hotspot through Verizon to play xbox, I'm lucky to see 7mbps download on a good day.
    My question to you, would it be worth me paying to have the provider run the fiber to me .5 miles down the road? I have no idea what this would cost but living with basically no internet has killed me. I beleive they could tie into the fiber leading to this buissness?
    Also, is the speed of fiber that high, as mentioned in the video, no matter the location? Basically if I spend all the money I think i'm going to spend getting the internet here, will the speed be good for gaming still?
    Kinda my last option besides moving... and I love where I live.

    Internet speed doesn’t matter for gaming. ISPs say that just to make the sale. Gaming hardly uses any data so as long as you have at least a consistent 10+mbps you won’t notice much of an improvement. You will want more bandwidth if you have other people doing other things on the internet at the same time as you. Ping is your best friend for gaming and you can’t pay for a better ping. Ping varies based on location, ISP, equipment used, etc. nothing really in your control.
    Internet speeds of 1Gbps is good for downloading or uploading large files very fast. It can download a game fast, but if the game is already installed on your computer you aren’t going to get any different of an experience. It’s also good if you want 200 people on your network to be able to stream Netflix at the same time. I can’t see any reason to have 1Gbps in a home unless you are really impatient and need to download a 4GB file in 4 minutes instead of 30 minutes everyone now and then.

      Sir Taz I do play games competitively. I am also an IT professional. Ping is has the greater effect on your gaming experience. Download/Upload speed has a minimal effect on gaming. Yes you will want a slightly faster speed than you need for a consistency cushion to leave enough bandwidth available to whatever other people or devices are using your network, but that doesn’t mean you will need 1Gbps. 50-100Mbps is a good cushion range for most families. If you live alone and just use a LAN cable 20Mbps is the most you will need for consistency in gaming assuming you don’t have a bunch of IoT devices on your network and aren’t trying to stream video at the same time . There are many variables and every household is different, but if you lived alone and your PC was the only thing using internet you could actually game just fine with a consistent 5-10Mbps. The only reason you need higher speeds is to allow background internet using processes on your PC and/or people and IoT devices on your network to do what they need to without taking away from the bandwidth you need.
      Most people I know that have internet issues this is their main problem. Every ISP I’ve had they have had consistent speeds almost exact to what I am paying for. The router/modems they provide have terrible WiFi though and that is what most people overlook. I have friends who have paid for 20-100Mbps internet and only use the ISP provided router and complain they only get 2-5Mbps. It is because they are using the crappy built-in single-band WiFi on the router and a family of 4-6 people are all trying to use it at the same time at different edges of the house. However when I plugged my laptop into their router’s Ethernet port I always got the exact speed they were paying for. I know Ethernet cables don’t work for everyone based on router location and computer location, but you can still get a fast wireless network working with a decent tri-band router.
      I have a family of 4 and we currently have 60Mbps. I can game with 19ms ping on Overwatch with zero interruptions while my wife is watching TH-cam on her phone and my son is watching shows on Netflix on our TV. I could probably live with 40Mbps for my family’s usage, but 60Mbps is the lowest option my ISP has. 1Gbps is a huge cushion that most households will never need unless you have 100 kids watching HD cat videos at the same time.

    I am one of 285.000 people living in my city who have pay an insane amount of money for 4G internet in order to get better speeds than crappy cable speeds, and trust me, it is really frustrating. For some reason even newer buildings like the one I live in which was built in 2009 there is no chance to get fiber internet. If you want faster internet than your DSL, VDSL line offers than your only option is 4G, if you're lucky you're one of the very few people who live in a part of town where there's LTE-Advanced, in addition to that, 4G speeds heavily depend on which floor you live in. I for example live in the middle floor which is basically the worst, I have to place my router right next to the window in order to get full 4G signal strenght even though according to my provider there's 4G+ all over the place I've only seen the router switch to that once and that was when I had it on my balcony. But hey 4G speeds aren't bad, you can get up to 150Mbit in theory, at least that's why I pay 45€ (50USD) per month. Can you guess how fast the internet really is (my PC is directly gonnected with the 1gigabit ethernet port of the router)? Exactly, I have never ever seen it reach 150mbit download per second. I sometimes test the speed when I'm bored and here's what I can report: During the day, I only get about 50 Mbit average. That's a third of what I'm paying for. The fastest I've ever seen it reach in the afternoon was when I used a MIMO 2X 4G Antenna basically line of sight to the next 4G station and I only reached 100Mbit, but after using it for several days I noticed that the average speed was about 80, basically half of what I'm paying for. Without the external antenna, using only the 4G routers internal antennas I once reached 65Mbit and that was because it was 4am where basically nobody uses 4G. You might ask yourself now: "dude why doesn't he talk to the provider about it?". No chance, the provider doesn't give a shit because somewhere in the contract they say that the speed you're paying for is the ideal speed and it can be different depending on your location. Yeah thanks, I live 400m from the next 4G sending station away. According to the contract the speed can drop down to something like 30Mbit, which is a fith of the speed I'm paying for and it would still be accaptable according to them. Somethign else I love about the 4G internet story in my country is that we're in the middle of europe, not at the edge of the world. Oh and they force us to buy a overpriced locked router when signing the contract, a contract which lasts for 24 months, with a 4G router which is decent, but you would save about 200 bucks if you had the chance to say no to a device. I would happily chose a better router instead of being forced to buying one. Well that's my internet story, can't wait for 5G, it will probably take ages until we get it, since I lost hope in the country providing fiber internet. For now I have 12 months left until I can get out of my 50 dollar 150mbit contract which only provides me with a third, maybe two fith if I'm lucky of the speed.

    In my opinion there is a bit of an advantage with fiber compared to cable. It’s a bit subtle and I’m not confident it’s not a placebo thing but I’m pretty sure the shot s registration feels more smooth and consistent. I especially notice it with csgo other games not really so much. I had an internet a cable internet provider called NewWave, KT was 200 up and like 30 down and only had like 2 or 3 days in 4 years without service so I was very satisfied with their service. I’d still prefer fiber just because of ping advantage.

And now with this Data cap of 1TB I am weary of getting internet lol I have never had a ISP with data caps. All i do is game and watch netflix and youtube at night. Has anyone really gone over that 1Tb limit??? would love to hear from people.

    John Glasscock Hey man! So, my family uses Verizon as a internet provider and all throughout my life, downloading games on my Xbox took FOREVER to the point where I just got used to it (around 2-4 mbs download speed). We tried switching over to FiOS, but apparently there “weren’t any towers in my area” for that kind of service. At home, my parents are always using the computer for work and multiple devices are using the WiFi at a time in my house (including my Xbox One). Do you know of any internet providers that I can check out? I’m really sick of waiting DAYS for games to finish downloading and me constantly lagging. Thanks!

      You could try upgrading speeds but ISP availability just depends on where you live really

    Speed has nothing to do with online gaming❗ Latency / ping count in online gaming❗

      Well you're right and you're wrong. Latency is the most important thing in gaming but if you have really weak Upload/Download, and other people are connected to Wi-Fi using the bandwidth(watching Netflix/TH-cam) then that will ultimately affect your ping... making it spike very high.
      Conclusion. Low download/upload = high ping when others are using bandwidth, but higher upload/download won't necessarily increase your ping, just make it more stable when others are using internet cos more bandwidth.

    • @aaronmotta7028
      @aaronmotta7028 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      your ping is partially based on how fast your internet can upload information to the gaming server.... so yes, it has a lot to do with gaming.

      Do i really need 1gps for gaming?? I see many fortnite pro streamer complain about their ping. And alots of them says 0 ping makes its easier to build wall faster?? Does higher ping means better gaming??

    Can't you put that ISP ONT/Router in bridge mode and use your own router?

    The happiest day of my life was when my son was born, the 2nd happiest day will be when the fiber company knocks my apt to install. Hopefully in the upcoming months. Even that i've switched internet companies (both coaxial) from time to time i have packet loss, latency issues, internet drops, i have to at least once a week disconnect, and connect the power of the modem etc etc.

    The gateway that's needed - do they charge you an additional rental fee each month for it? Or is it included with the $80 per month?
    If they do charge extra, how much is it?

  • @Ultrakicks
    @Ultrakicks 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Here in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I pay $75 per month for 1 Gig up/down. We do not need a gateway either.

  • @DimitrisDr3am
    @DimitrisDr3am 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    you can probably make that gateway thing just pass the internet signal through to your other router. it would be in the settings somewhere.. No idea what it is called but I did it years ago on a cable modem/router

    Hey John, this comment may not be seen but my question is finer internet that’s hooked up to a ARRIS SB8200 with a Netgear Nighthawk R7800 (soon to be upgraded to a XR500) or fiber internet with AT&T? Your thoughts?

    • @JohnGlasscock
      @JohnGlasscock  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      For me the upgrade was worth it so I would pick at&t fiber

  • @machavez00

    With CenturyLink in Phoenix, you can using any wifi router the that can VLAN tag the WAN port, has PPoE, AND has the hardware to handle it. I came from a 20Mbs/896Kbs ADSL2 connection.

  • @JamesAutoDude
    @JamesAutoDude 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    You can change that gateway into passthrough mode where it'll allow you to plug in your own router and use your own router instead... Not too hard to do either

  • @bogdantureac4662
    @bogdantureac4662 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    can the number of wifi internet users affect the connection of the wired (ethernet) one ? aka more prople slower connection ?

    Interesting, i had ATT Fiber installed Dec 2019. My ONT is installed inside of the house. We have that black gateway as well but the tech that installed the service patched my router into the gateway. So i still get to use my router. You may be able to use your router now.

    • @Floof_Factory
      @Floof_Factory 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      But you are still using the gateway right? Don't you have to set up your router so that it connects to the gateway? How did the installer do it?

    • @codygregg1629
      @codygregg1629 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Grand Master Mawile yeah I’m still using the gateway. He just patched my router into one of the ports 1-4 on the gateway. The router grabbed a DHCP address and just worked from there.

  • @matt697845
    @matt697845 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    You can use your own router. Tell them you want to swap out to the Arris BGW210 gateway. It has an IP passthru feature, which can be set to the MAC of your own routers WAN port. If your routers LAN IP is 192.168.1.1 you will need to change it to 192.168.2.1 to avoid conflicts. Disable the 2.4g and 5g WiFi radios on the BGW. From there your routers WAN port will get handed your Internet IP address and it works just like the Ethernet port on a cable modem, UPnP, incoming traffic, etc all work just like the ATT gateway device isn't even there.
