Gaming Issues - Latency/Ping
Thanks for the reply Chris.
Apologies for the delay, wanted to make sure the house was empty, all devices turned off and to try the tests in the morning and afternoon. As a bit of background I ran the test 5-6 times consecutively in the morning and evening (I could only run the 'further diagnostics' test twice due to it requiring 10mins between tests)
The downloads and uploads speed was pretty consistent throughout with both the evening and morning tests showing around 16 down and 0.70 up with little variance. The ping result was slightly more erratic, with a ping as low as 38 and a high of about 84. The majority of the pings fell between 45 - 60. Is that normal and expected? The further diagnostics test all showed a line without problems.
I've turned on the ping counter in Black Ops 3 (and whilst I understand this is the ping to the server / or the host of the game) it seems very erratic jumping from 50ms to 200ms and anywhere in between constantly in a single game whilst connected to 1 host/server - would this explain the poor performance of the game?
Would you say in all honesty that my current internet is capable of offering a good performance or should I be looking at fibre?
Just as a final insight, I've had a couple of friends over who both have the game (and doing well) and both struggled immensely. It's quite frustrating!
