Is Fiber Internet Really Better for Gaming?

Gamers are passionate about their internet - I should know since I am one. Gamers say a fiber connection is the best, but is that really true?

----------
The Basics:
- DSL
-Been around the longest
-Runs along your phone line
-Basic internet users
-Primary weakness is distance.
-Cable
-Much faster than DSL
-Runs through your coax connection
-Doesn't rely on proximity for signal strength
-Weakness is the shared connection and subsequent reliability.
-Fiber
-Glass/Plastic wiring (means its REALLY fast!)
-Generally symmetrical (matching upload & download speeds)
-Attractive to gamers & twitch streamers.
But speed isn't the most important thing! Here's what is:
-Latency (ping)
-The time it takes for data to make a round trip between you and
your ISP
-LOWER IS BETTER
-This is why Satellite Internet isn't great for gaming
-Packet Loss
-Data bundles being sent back and forth between you and your
ISP
-Don't want these getting lost or corrupted
-The closer to ZERO the better
-Jitter
-The change in latency over time
So... Does speed matter for gaming? You bet, but not as much as you might think. Gaming actually doesn't require lightning speeds!
What matters more is how reliable your connection is when it comes to Latency, Packet Loss, and Jitter. Any internet connection type (DSL, Cable, Fiber) can deliver great results in those categories.
So is Fiber the best? It's newer, more reliable, and tends to deliver the best speeds, as well as Latency, Packet Loss, and Jitter. The only problem is it's REALLY expensive and not available everywhere.

Thanks Dude

[@mlzz805]

Fiber internet is really reliable. I've had FIOS for 10 years and internet has only went down like 3 times tops. When I had Time Warner Cable before that, internet went down randomly every month.

[@dennisp8520]

fiber internet in and of itself isn't more reliable it is still prone to the same shortcomings that other internet technologies are prone to. For example, if there is an issue with the headend that the fiber internet gets routed to you will suffer a outtage, also in the case of residential fiber it is still shared bandwidth from a node. Believe it or not cable companies like Comcast, TIme Warner, etc actually have more Fiber deployed than a smaller provider like FIOs it is just that last mile in the home that is serviced by coxael at this point. Plus DOCIS 3.1 can support 10Gig download and 2Gb upload speed so the limitation falls back to again the headend and the node you are connecting to in terms of bandwidth. All in all the obvious choice is Fiber to the home because it has infinite potential as far as speed and the lowest possible latency will come from fiber but the real-world results in terms of performance are not really noticeable at this point because your internet connection will only be as good as the weakest link in the infrastructure

If you plan to get TV service I say go with a cable provider because they bundle much faster internet speeds with their TV offers.

For those out in the boonies and getting fed up with DSL; if you have a co op electic company, look into having them be your ISP. Ours is currently running fiber to 14 counties of rural customers and we're going from DSL, wireless, and satellite straight to fiber. The project is slated to take 4 years to complete but we're getting service that many don't have access to. It's not impossible, there just has to be a demand and good cost-benefit analysis. Ours won in the favor of implementation. To say I'm excited to go from paying $75 a month for ATTs table scraps of internet via 25/2 DSL to gigabit fiber is an gross understatement.

[@skabii204]

Yes it is. Fiber Optic Internet always has far lower latency and higher speeds. I've had fiber to the home(FTTH) since at least 2014, and for online gaming, it has always been far better than cable and especially DSL. It's very reliable as long as you have good access point to support, which the newer models from Comtrend certainly do. I consistently have the lowest the ping in my lobby, and only lag if playing with a bad host. If I'm host, it never lags.

Well in the UK you can do two things, one of them is called a Community Fiber partnership which is where you sign up for a Community Fiber partnership account from Openreach, and get as many people in your neighborhood as possible to sign and help fund for Fiber installs. Or you can do what is called FTTPoD, which is where you get a quote from a provider like Cerberus Networks which usually cost about £250+VAT so they can check out your street, the nearest node, your home so that then they can give you the pricing for the installation which is usually about £5,000 to £39,000, you don't have to pay it, but you can if you want to and you can then get Gigabit Fiber that way.

Residential fiber is often PON which just like cable is shared. However unlike cable, fiber is immune to interference and you can increase the capacity just by changing the devices at each end.

Everything is shared at various points in the network. For PON vs cable it's the split ratios typically being much lower at 32 : 1 vs 80 - 100 : 1.

The main problem is I live in the sticks. So only satellite or LTE hotspot is available. So it took me literally years of testing and trying different configurations to find out how to stop packet loss for cloud gaming. So it is not the connection LTE issue? If I can use this trick I found and it fixes it right? I'm still a little lost as why I can do this trick and fix the packet loss. It's like a bypassing technique I have figured out and it evidently does give me more throughput and fixed my packet loss and frame drops.

The problem with cable internet like Xfinity is because it runs off 1 shared line throughout the neighborhood. Not a dedicated line to your home. The cables that are wired within your neighborhood causes down times when many people are using the internet like between 5 pm and 9 pm.. you will experience down times. Thats how they get you.. they advertize 1000-3000 gbps but people dont read “up to”. Their speeds are not dedicated. If you want dedicated.. get fiber.

[@Itsoperated]

Download speed has very little to do with gaming. Latency is what affects gaming massively. That being said I work with Fiber, Coax Cable ,and Fixed Wireless. Fiber is definitely more reliable vs Coax. But that being said all of them are to the point where you can pass tons of bandwidth. All can push over 1Gbps if the provider wanted to. Fiber latency is very low but also is fixed wireless with LOS. Getting around sub 10ms ping for both if it’s setup correctly. Personally is pointless to have 1Gbps speeds cool you can download a game faster but for 95 percent of the time you will never utilize more than 20Mbps unless your doing a download.

[@TurboSpeedWiFi]

Finally someone who understands. I wish internet servicer providers would stop marketing their faster plans as being better for gaming. Increasing the bandwidth on your cable subscription will not reduce your latency in most cases.

Boutta get fibre optic w/ bell and 4 mini pods 💪 💪

[@redman2751]

I have att fiber and have been EXTREMELY mad with my service. My internet is absolutely great as long as the sites I’m going to att likes. Att doesn’t like KZbin so now KZbin and basically all google services are just about unusable. I have to use a VPN to “trick” att to not knowing what site I’m looking at and then I can get useable KZbin. Still not full speed though because the vpns take a hit on speed. So I’m paying full price for full speed but can’t get full speed.

[@Daygomadebrian]

I got att fiber to... what mbps do u have I got 100mbps , I had cox paid $110’for gigablast now paying $60 for 100mbps with att fiber... it’s confusing lol...

[@davinadavina1331]

i just got 1GB frontier fiberlnthey install next week i hope they can run it to my network cabinet

[@onthemoverealestatephotogr9655]

I have never come close to having the same upload speed as download speed on fiber. Maybe I’m doing something wrong.

[@0bsmith0]

Either the ISP cheeped out and went with non-symmetrical optics so it would be expected or there is something very wrong.

[@griff3n69]

If you have cable like an older install should you replace the inside cables? Are they the same cable as before or updated versions available?

[@ibonk9673]

amazing video

[@sheralync5854]

wouldn't fiber optic have a vulnerability to extreme cold weather or water seeping into the casing and freezing? I'm in MN and it gets cold here.

[@StormZ6603]

Same we might get it

[@mazz85-]

My apartment has 1000mbps fiber available, is this vdsl2 or just the basic vdsl ? I can only find vdsl2 modems nowdays, i hope they are compatible with this building connection. Kinda like usb ports, new port can take older sticks. Old ports can detect new stick but they only give you lower speeds ?

[@JJFlores197]

You're confusing fiber internet with DSL. VDSL is a variant of DSL. Fiber internet is a totally different technology. You cannot use a DSL modem with fiber internet. Fiber optic internet uses a light to transmit data whereas DSL uses copper wiring and electrical pulses. Does your internet provider no provide you with a gateway?

[@mazz85-]

@@JJFlores197 There are modems that have both acces ADSL/VDSL, so no, i am not confusing these connections. Some apartment buildings sadly have contracts to use only one operator, is why single customer cant choose their favor operator, the building managers always choose the cheapest shiet, and chiepest shiet is not a gamer choise, therefore i am always stuck with frikkin 4g. Needs to be your own house, then you can choose your favor operator. The bigger operator the shittier it is, all they care is profits and not on quality product.

[@JJFlores197]

@@mazz85- Not sure what you mean then. You say your apartment has fiber internet available then you start talking about DSL modems. So what is it? Do you not want to use fiber internet and want to use DSL internet? Or what am I missing? I would gladly get on board with fiber internet over the archaic DSL internet service.

[@danielonn2002]

ATT is adding fiber to our neighborhood. Can't wait!

[@jimmygibbs993]

I just moved out and trying to find the best internet service for gaming. My parents internet was completely garbage

[@ignassungaila5781]

How much does fiber cost in the us? In Lithuania you can get 1 Gb/s for 25 euro a month and around 40% of Lithuanians use fiber

[@lxnkyfn420]

I have fibre internet but the latency is 40-70 ping

[@petecoventry6858]

One thing it's allowed me to do is to move all my gaming to the cloud - and it works much better than any PC I've ever had and I don't need one I can game on my old laptop and kick ass still

[@d1redman]

You failed to mention the fiber only goes to the outside of your house and the in a lot of cases they you coax to the modem. Yes sometimes the can run a ethernet cable from the fiber box to the computer but most times they do not

[@kabiskzor]

Recently got upgraded to fibre here at my house and for my connection at least the fibre connects to a service box outside and then they run fibre inside the house to a Network Termination Device "a box inside the house" and from there I run an Ethernet cable from that to my Router and then Ethernet to my PC. So apart from my home network its all Fibre. I could also just connect my PC straight to the NTD if i wanted to via Ethernet.

[@samaraplayz5585]

So true just got fiber and so fast I went on the road and it's only 2 bars love fiber

[@ironkobe]

Do this have a data cap

[@shadycamaro]

Is Fios Frontier 50/50 plan enough for 1 person?? I just game & stream 4k movies tv shows etc.

[@danman9847]

Yea its around 25 for most 4k streams but 35 is what i recommend.

[@RooTs1100]

Getting fibre in 5 weeks. Finally being installed in my area after asking everyone around to sign on line for wanting it in the area. Been waiting for 2.5 years and they’re finally doing it so will be getting up to 940mbps ⬆️ & ⬇️ 👍🏻👍🏻

[@hoodiegamer9256]

yo thats dope man. Wish you the best in your gaming sessions. Im planning to move out myself fiber might not be coming to my area for at least a couple of years if starlink wont be good ill have to stick to mobile hotspot for gaming with lag.

[@exosisyphus]

What about latency?

[@SMSV621]

Does anyone know if Starry is good for gaming? I cannot find much data on it, so I’m afraid to cancel my Century Link

[@arthurgrajeda]

I can get AT&T Dedicated Fiber anywhere in the US but it’s not cheap

[@mbraty039barato9]

Its expensive but if u live in cheap country itsnot i got my fiber ftth just for 30$ but its not as fast as other guys said i got only 200mb/s and its really good for gaming my ping in server which its in country is 2 but in germany(iam from iran) its like 60 to 80

[@oscardabeast]

If I have Fiber on IPv4... is that good? Or is Cable on IPv6 faster?

[@retr0nus]

They won't be faster on either protocol, it's just sent in a different form. It also depends on what plan you get, like 1000 Mbps Down / 54 Mbps Up on Cable or 900 Mbps Down / 900 Mbps Up on Fiber which in this example, the Fiber broadband would win on the upload, but the Cable broadband would win on the download.

[@ilyserch]

I have Spectrum and we have the best plan they offer. My latency goes from 33-200 every match when I play COD...

[@josephmoran2006]

Same. I have the 400mbps with Spectrum and I'm wired into the router....I always have a bunch of packet loss with Rocket league and Modern warfare.

[@1729NINJA]

Serchum i do too, just ordered the att fiber this afternoon. Coming to install next saturday

[@SupremeDuckSupremeDucky]

Fabricio Williams is your latency down with the fiber?

[@TurboSpeedWiFi]

Spectrum is not that great for low latency. Their routing is not very direct and it increases latency significantly.

[@ACWaveform]

I’m getting fiber tomorrow. :’)

[@chryosolite9397]

What os the best fibre internet in bristol

[@kamildouglas]

short answer yes it is

[@jimbigner5902]

I find with AT&T fiber it slows down below 100 mbs when everyone gets home from work.

[@madcyborg]

Hopefully Google resumed laying cable in Your area.. If South Salt Lake can get it.. SLC proper by all means should have it 3 years after this vid was published. It nice having 800+ down, 950 Up :)

[@xYouthAttackx]

I have spectrum and it sucks especially since everyone streams everything nowadays. I ordered fiber optic and in 2 weeks I'll be rocking and rolling.

[@eltacobandito]

How is it going?

[@icksTeevee]

My ISP offers a 1Gbit network connection but only 50 Mbps upload speed(advertised!) though. I feel ripped off (again) :( Seems like eventhough fiber can support the speed both ways, it's not a given.

[@0bsmith0]

Some ISPs cheap out and go with non-symmetrical optics. Most are not that stupid.

[@tempexzvortexz2786]

I moved into a house 2 years ago all most and still haven't got fiber

[@HA05GER]

I've got fibre had it a couple months and couldn't go back. I have symmetrical 600mbps it's more than enough.

[@exotickiller644]

I get fiber where I live and it’s amazing when gaming

[@ZiulCoeto]

How much ping would att fiber give you in fn

[@mtndanville9300]

I live on a island in Southern Ontario. The island i live on only has 1 wifi provider and that is eastlinl and man they're shit. We don't even have any other option. So we are forced to stick with eastlink. My parents don't even wanna move off this island. My parents told me we are getting Fiber-optic internet in spring 2021. So i hope i can get into live streaming with this wifi.

[@HardHeadMilitary]

My isp advertises 1gig for $65 a month…. Ive never seen more than 550mbps down and 50mbps up… my ping in game is typically 20-25mbps There is a new fiber company here, gig up and gig down, but they charge $90 a month unlimited. Is it worth the price differential to performance

[@gilbertesparza4]

Can someone tell me if it’s worth to get at&t fiber at 75mbps for two people living in a house who game and stream movies.

[@patrickschwarzl8618]

@Mymm2gameplayisthis you know that speed doesn't have anything to do with his ping when he games right?

[@robertpeters1497]

does fibre work through the telephone lines like dsl

[@TurboSpeedWiFi]

No. Fiber requires special cables.

[@kubeanie18]

fiber from tds telecom in rural Wisconsin 1 gb down and up for under 100 bucks.... i have 300 down and up(60 bucks). feel like its easier to get then most ppl think

[@BlongTreyLo]

Entire comments underappreciated with the internet they have. I'm here struggling with $90 wireless hotspot 50gig plan that runs average 7-12mbps. Patches can be 1-3gigs for my games and run 100-300mb per hour gaming. Ping is average 80 plays fine in the country side with no cable here, honestly plays all game fine under 100 ping, unless you're playing shooting games then that's a difference. While everyone complain that they're lagging cus they see a 60-90 ping as high to them... Smh. I would love cable or fiber internet just to get them cheap plans with high data and lower latency :/

[@kelvindahri2981]

I feel you brother I have fibre internet being built on my road finally I’ve had wireless for 8 years now and I cannot online game simply I have 4 siblings who all game so we lag immensely

[@semi-px7hj]

I am running with fiber on console and it def does make a big difference having cable for internet is trash now I have 1,000 up and down I am never going back
