Hello, as I have been unable to find people I know with 50mb or google similar questions, I request some infomation if at all possible on the following please:
1) As 20Mb is DOCSIS2.0 Network and 50Mb is on 3.0, does this mean they have different traffic loads and share different bandwidth?
2) Would you expect a difference at all in terms of latency stability to various servers?
3) Is there any difference in latency in general?
4) Would you expect an overall improvement for ping/latency spiking under peak stressed traffic hours i.e. say 8PM?
As for why, I may or may not upgrade for 50mb next month. I am a heavy traffic user but also a absolute addicted online twitch gamer (QuakeLive, CoD's, UT) and also deal alot with streaming. During summers and xmas period in particular, the 20Mb service has alot of stability issues and is often double it's overall ping to any server with consistent spiking and dipping being more of a concern as that causes alot of glitches.
If 50mb is just the same, I may upgrade. If it's worse, I will not upgrade. If it's better, I will upgrade for sure.
Thank you for answering!
