Out of curiosity, does anybody know the actual size of the data necessary for these services? For example, over the course of one hour while playing at 1440p @ 60fps, how many megabytes would you download?
In my area of michigan, if you get less than 40ms, its a fricking miracle, even on high speed cable.
Are you in a rural area? Be thankful you even have access to broadband, my aunt, for example, who lives in Rural New Hampshire ONLY has access to DSL which has a top THEORETICAL speed of 1.5Mbps (1500 Kbps), basically only one person in the house can watch YouTube at a time and don't even begin to think you're watching at 1080p. Meanwhile, only about 45 minutes away, I get 1.2Gbps (1200Mbps) for $65/month (with a 1Gbps wired LAN connection you get 985Mbps, with the 10GBase-T connection on my PC, I get approximately 1100-1175Mbps)... It's crazy, and there are literally areas in states like Idaho where there is ZERO broadband access of any type except terrible Hughesnet satellite... Hopefully Starlink will change this AND get land-line broadband providers to stop being so stingy.
What's cool is that my Aunt's town is doing what Chattanooga, TN did, crate a municipal fiber broadband service that will offer symmetrical Gigabit at a better price than any private!/for profit ISP... The only question is whether ISPs and corrupt politicians will collaborate to pass laws that prohbite municipal broadband AND waste huge amounts of taxpayer money on "subsidies" to private ISPs to basically beg them to expand coverage. It's funny how we're told we have a "free market" economy, but as soon as a publicly owned, municipal/state funded service wants to enter the market, instead of competing in a free market and improving their services, Telecoms just bribe politicians on the take to maintain the status quo and stifle any sense of free market competition.... If anyone doesn't know the story of Chattanooga, TN, their municipal broadband, and how Telecoms basically bribed politicians to hinder its expansions and other towns/cities from adopting the same model, I suggest you look it up. It really shows why American broadband is so bad compared to the rest of the industrialized world and what could potentially be available to consumers if public/non-profit municipal broadband was allowed to enter the market... If about 10 years ago municipal broadband was encouraged/allowed, I bet by now we'd have 5-10Gbps symmetrical fiber available in almost every town for under $100/month.
I'm not into competitive gaming at all, well cribbage, maybe some cut throat pinochle.
