  2. Speed Needed For Gaming

Which device are you gaming with? Depending on which device you use for gaming and the type of game you’d like to play, FiOS symmetrical upload and download speeds are ideal because while you play, your device is constantly sending and receiving information. Download speed is how fast your device pulls data from the server. The download speed requirement for Nintendo Switch is higher than for the Wii, so the upload speed and ping rate recommended for Nintendo Switch should also be more than enough to handle online gaming on the Wii. I have been gaming on 2 Mbps for years with no problems (Now I have 24Mbps just for the quicker download speeds). Wired connection is highly recommended tho. Alexaras1991, Nov 8, 2015. May 28, 2014  Question How does upload speed affect gameplay? It's still good to have both decent upload and download speeds, but again I'd say ping is what you look for. There IS an indirect correlation to faster speeds and better gaming experiences. Fiber can be ideal for gaming because fiber infrastructure is relatively new to older. Download Speeds: 50+ Mbps Most users aren't currently blazing along the Internet at this speed, but if the FCC gets its way, these speeds will be coming to homes near you sooner rather than later.

I have a roommate who loves to download (streaming, direct downloads) everyday while I play online games. My current connection is 7Mbps/1up and I get lag. What would be a good connection to support downloading while gaming online?
My ISP is Teksavvy and I am on DSL with a FTTN service. My connection is made with 2 access points in bridged mode (directly to the router) so I should get pretty damn good consistency.
I'm hesitant on upgrading to a plan with 10Mbps upload speed because it requires me to buy a $120 modem. So the preferred option would be to just increase download speed (unless I really have to upgrade upload speed).

Whenever I hear people bring up connection, Upload speed is becoming more prevalent in what is discussed. Obviously upload speed would be sending the packets themselves, but people have always said D/U never mattered more than ping.

My speeds are around 6 down, .5-.6 up, and 12 ping to a town 25-30 miles away.

I am honestly wondering this because playing with my friend (where my ping to him is 100) I start missing easy kills because bullets don't connect even though my ping is fine. Android multiplayer games wifi.

Same for hosing lobbies. My internet turns shit when I host lobbies.

Is this a byproduct of low upload and should I talk to my ISP? They pretty much scammed me out of my upload when they gave us our 'given speeds'.
