manjoobalobe Posted February 1, 2005 CID Share Posted February 1, 2005 My brother insists that the internet will be really laggy if we get a wireless modems and both go on at the same time. We have 1.1mb broadband (supposedly ) Would it be too slow to be ale to play games on both computers? Or even game on one and surf on the other...

just- Posted February 1, 2005 CID Share Posted February 1, 2005 now the more complicated answer is depends what u do in each computers if u say u are playing a game and in the other just surfing ( normal site not flash or anything like that) it should be fine for games the ping is quiet important but i dont think that is going to be a problem the truth is i have not tested it my self or seen anything about it just talking from general kowldge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanBuren Posted February 1, 2005 CID Share Posted February 1, 2005 i would install Netlimiter on the pc that your surfing with, and limit the transfer rate during the time when you know your bro playing a game. www.netlimiter.com VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA3LE Posted February 3, 2005 CID Share Posted February 3, 2005 i would install Netlimiter on the pc that your surfing with, and limit the transfer rate during the time when you know your bro playing a game. www.netlimiter.com VanBuren Nice that program is just what I need to test my sites accuracy. I installed that and limited it to see what slower connections show... every time. right on the money for instnace... 56K fakie :::.. Download Stats ..::: Connection is:: 56 Kbps about 0.1 Mbps (tested with 97 KB) Download Speed is:: 7 KB/s Tested From:: http://www.testmy.net/ Test Time:: Wed Feb 02 2005 21:33:29 GMT-0700 (US Mountain Standard Time) Bottom Line:: 1X faster than 56K 1MB download in 146.29 sec Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/id-MRV02KG8Z upload test to mimic the upload of 56K @ only 5 KB/s :::.. Upload Stats ..::: Connection is:: 40 Kbps about 0 Mbps (tested with 97 KB) Upload Speed is:: 5 KB/s Tested From:: http://www.testmy.net/ Test Time:: Wed Feb 02 2005 21:40:54 GMT-0700 (US Mountain Standard Time) Bottom Line:: 1X faster than 56K 1MB upload in 204.8 sec Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/id-QXARFVKO9 I also did 128K 256K 512K 768K 1024K 2048K 3000K 4000K and 5000K -- the higher ones started to be off by a little bit, but is was because the speed was higher and there is more things to consider... nice tool, helps me out alot. Basically lets me know what my site is going to look and behave like to someone on a connection that is slower than my own, hard thing to do when you have a 5Mbps+ line.

VanBuren Posted February 3, 2005 CID Share Posted February 3, 2005 yea its great, i also use it on p2p programs like DC++ i limit my upload speed to 90% then my download speed is not affected if somone uploading from me if i have 5 ppl uploading from me and using all my bandwidth i cant send acknowledge packets in time and that cuts down my download speed aswell.

CA3LE Posted February 3, 2005 CID Share Posted February 3, 2005 nice... I wish I had as much bandwidth at home to deal with as you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanBuren Posted February 3, 2005 CID Share Posted February 3, 2005 nice... I wish I had as much bandwidth at home to deal with as you... I suggest all ppl do this, set your upload cap in Netlimiter to 90% of your real cap, then your download will speedup aswell VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanBuren Posted February 3, 2005 CID Share Posted February 3, 2005 lets say i have a 5000/768 Kbps Cable connection and use a fileshare program that dosent limit the transfer rate then if eg 5 ppl downloading from me, they will use all 768 Kbps and ping will increase cos modem peaking out. if i then start to download from somone else i will get crappy downloadspeed, cos its hard to send acknowledge packets to the sender "the one i download from" if 5 other ppl using all the upload bandwidth and increase my ping.
