EvilNightHawk3 Posted September 27, 2005 CID Share Posted September 27, 2005 1.I was wondering does the distance from the C.o matter when you have a t1? 2.I have adsl right now and it isn't that great but consistent, would a t1 line be smoother and give me lower pings for hosting? 3.Has anyone here had a t1 that was crap for hosting game servers and was far from C.o and had real bad pings or was it guarenteed to be low?

peepnklown Posted September 27, 2005 CID Share Posted September 27, 2005 Can you afford $250-300 a month? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jws21 Posted September 28, 2005 CID Share Posted September 28, 2005 T1 lines are easily repeated to cover longer distances so distance isnt really an issue. Ping times will definitely be lower than your dsl. And due to the SLA and guaranteed uptime/bandwidth with a T1 you won't hear many complaints. Bottomline, if you're willing & able to spend the money I'd say go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilNightHawk3 Posted September 28, 2005 Author CID Share Posted September 28, 2005 ok, thanks for everyones input and am considering getting it if the pings are guarenteed to be lower. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6arett Posted September 28, 2005 CID Share Posted September 28, 2005 If FiOS is avalable in your area you should look into that....15/2 is only 40 somthin a month...and gets 1-20 ms on any west server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilNightHawk3 Posted September 28, 2005 Author CID Share Posted September 28, 2005 Dude i would have 3 lines of FIos if it was here lol, and i got bellsouth which is ok but the upgrade to 512 is really bad so i would have it as a back up line and t1 as main line. T1 is closest thing to fios's speeds over here and speakeasy is just to far away to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbaker397 Posted September 28, 2005 CID Share Posted September 28, 2005 T1 is closest thing to fios's speeds over here and speakeasy is just to far away to. a fractal T3 would be closer cuz a T1 is only 1.5/1.5, close on the upload but about 13 megs off on the download.

Blunted 2 Posted September 28, 2005 CID Share Posted September 28, 2005 you probably wont get much lower pings cause i have tested it but you might get 10 ms better if your lucky but not by much. check the isp's sla + tos and see what the average latency is for the T1 cause some places garrentee 110 ms round trip time and some offer 55 ms so check around before you get one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilNightHawk3 Posted September 28, 2005 Author CID Share Posted September 28, 2005 Alrighty , thanks for your input EEbobb , i saw your servers up in unreal champiuonship and didn;t know what they ran off of. Now i do!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anox195 Posted September 29, 2005 CID Share Posted September 29, 2005 t1's download speeds are way to slow, i just got this sdsl, sure the uploads ok, but i need some more download bandwidth, i miss my 3mbps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilNightHawk3 Posted September 29, 2005 Author CID Share Posted September 29, 2005 lol , sdsl isn't nearly as good as t1 bro, if you had a t1 and wanted more download or upload, then all you got to do is bond it according to what you want. 1.544/1.544 and you need extra 256 so you bond it 1790/1790 Basic T!>>>> want 512 more 2.056/2.056 ect. it is good line. Also who is your sdsl provider and what package are you on and what do you pay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunted Posted September 29, 2005 CID Share Posted September 29, 2005 yea but bonding T1's is alot of money and if you need it get another line like me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilNightHawk3 Posted September 30, 2005 Author CID Share Posted September 30, 2005 Yes but bonding a T1 is going to be the same as getting 2 separate t1's but you can bond them for same price and get all speed on 1 line instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
