I will do ANYTHING to make my internet better, but WHAT?!

GetOwnedGaming · Oct 3, 2014

I live in Atascadero, California, and my internet SUCKS! I can't play minecraft Multiplayer if ANYBODY else is doing anything, email, minecraft, netflix, youtube ANYTHING! I am on wifi and when I rigged a CAT6 into my computer it just got worse!

Modem:Arris TM822 (Sent to me from Charter)

Router: Cisco Linksys EA6300

Here are the speed test results:

Ping: 15
Upload: 4.35
Download: 37.38

I know I am getting good speeds and all but I just cant do anything on minecraft! What type if internet is best for gaming? ex. DSL, cable ect.

I will do ANYTHING PLEASE HELP!

I am going to be doing a youtube channel soon and I want to be able to stream and upload VERY fast! I am just SICK of bad internet and it seems i can NEVER get good internet. Is there some way I will be sure to get good internet, or does where I live just SUCK? Please tell me what I have to do to get good internet. Like all of the youtubers when they are moving they're like "Yeah my new house can get REALLY good internet!" How can I get that too?! I am just done with bad internet and I just HATE it! Sorry if I just dont make any sense at all. If you need me to re-phrase what I said please ask me a specific question so i can answer that.

What kind of computer do you have? that might be the problem rather than your internet

kenghtt · Oct 3, 2014

BTW I use Charter, and i have the exact same speeds that you are using. I dont lag in any game. If you could post up your specs, that would help

My internet is bad on all computers tho. I have a Mac and the ping is REALLY good on that but I always "Time out" in games.

speedtest.net results of 37 down/3 up does not suck.
You have other issues.

Specs of what?

GetOwnedGaming · Oct 3, 2014

USAFRet :

Okay what could my issues be? I need good internet to stream well. How do I get it?

kenghtt · Oct 3, 2014

I meant to say specs of your computer. It could just be your Laptop. You definetly do not have a gaming laptop. It's on the lower end of laptops so I would assume that may be the reason why your laptop does not perform well when playing minecraft.
But for email, youtube, netflex, there shouldnt be any reason. Have you done a clean up on it lately? Also have you used a virus cleaner lately?

GetOwnedGaming :

What are the specs of your PC?
How well is it maintained? Defragged lately?

kenghtt :

Im a big noob. I just got the laptop a month ago. How would a gaming laptop have better internet? Also, Like I said I have a apple laptop too and It does have bad ping it just times out A LOT!

USAFRet :

I don't know the specs I did link the amazon page I got it from. I have not dropped it or anything I restart it EVERY day. I do not know what or how defragging is.

USAFRet · Oct 3, 2014

GetOwnedGaming :

OK....from your link, that is about the lowest, slowest laptop you can actually buy new. Seriously.
You cannot play and stream on that thing. No way, no how.

Your internet connection of 37down/4up is fine.
Your laptop is not fine.

Were you expecting some other answer?

GetOwnedGaming · Oct 3, 2014

Sorry if I am not clear on my questions. Please feel free to ask any more questions. I am about to go eat dinner but I will check back in an hour or less.

USAFRet :

Sorry, Didn't say that right. I am NOT going to be streaming on this thing HAHAHA that would be a laugh! I am saving for a gaming PC with a GTX 980 and a 4690k.... I just want to make sure I dont have this DUMB problem when I get that computer. Like I said the internet was worse with a CAT6 cable running into my laptop... So I thought it may be my internet because when I run the cable to the mac it works GREAT! Sorry I didn't phrase that right XD

I think that if you have someone that can lend a better pc or laptop to you for you to test out, that would be much better.

kenghtt :

Are we talking like an HP pavilion laptop or what?

kenghtt · Oct 4, 2014

Any laptop that uses Windows works, so the HP pavilion should work too. Try using one, and just browse the web. If it is still slow, then it is Charter, and you should have them take a look at your internet connection. But if it runs well, then it probably is just your laptop that is at fault.

GetOwnedGaming · Oct 4, 2014

Web pages work fine. Gaming multiplayer. Not fine.

kenghtt · Oct 4, 2014

Then I would have to assume it is your Laptop that is the problem. Not alot of $200-$300 these days can handle games anymore. Even Minecraft might be too performance intensive for your laptop to handle.
