Your upstream bandwith isn't your latency. It's how fat your upload is. Swapping 15/1 to 10/5 isn't going to do anything for your latency UNLESS you're already maxing out your upstream.
- DiabloD3 11y agoThat's the problem, I'm on ADSL2. The more upstream bandwidth you use, the worse your latency gets. Let's say I want to stream a multiplayer game. This is now an impossible situation because I barely have enough bandwidth to do a 360p stream as it is. Even if I very carefully keep my upstream bandwidth under 80% utilization, my latency is through the roof. Or let's say an automated off-site sync happens for backups. There goes my latency again. Or I take a photo and upload it. Or I upload music I purchased to Google Music. Or I video chat with someone. So, yes, when you have that little upstream, anything relevant maxes it out and your latency turns to shit.
- dalore 11y agoYou my friend need to to apply some QoS on that ADSL link and have it prioritize the ACK packets to go upstream which is what is killing your latency.
- DiabloD3 11y agoI already use QoS. It does not fix it unless I hard limit upstream to half of my already useless 1mbit. That is not a fix.
