purpleradish wrotehi all,
This is my first post on this forum, took me a while to figure out the registration question, ended using Excel to resolve it :-)
I will move to Lebanon for work in a few months' time. I am contemplating building a new PC for online gaming, as my current rig is already more than 5 years old - Xeon E3 V1230v3 + ATi R9 270
However, before I commit to building a new system, I would like to find out more about the online gaming experience in Beirut - Will it be possible to find servers with playable latencies (ping under 100ms) for games like PUBG, BF1, BF V and Overwatch? Will I have to sign up to expensive internet plans (like USD100+ a month) in order to achieve playable latencies?
Your advice will be much appreciated!
Hello and welcome to the forums,
Well I am a gamer (old PC gamer and having XboxOne for now...lool) and heavy downloader (movies, series, music, etc...)
So I got IDM Open Speed 100 GB, for 30$ (and 4$ for unlimited night traffic)
I have absolutely no problem with downloading, but the latency...here is the problem !!
not less then 90/100 ms for COD-Black Ops 4 on XboxOne, and it can reach up to 130 ms !
Called their support over millions of times and did tons of tests and blah blah...no hope,
They said that they have a gaming pool, where you can have a real IP each time your modem sync, but all of this is useless, I am still having the same high ping numbers !!
Even though my line results are perfect, the speed can reach 15 MB, and I am around 1.1 Km far from the CO (Ras Enabe3)
but it seems their connection are bad for online gaming,
Anyone here facing problems with IDM too regarding high latency ?! :(
The only reason that prevents me from switching to Ogero is the unlimited night traffic !
I heard that Ogero promised to get it soon to their customers,
Anyway, try to get Ogero HDSL (for business use) it has 2 MB up and down with real IP,
I think you will get even better pings than the usual Ogero ADSL,
Or try the VDSL one if your line can handle,
