For all the people who have lag on brawl server

I have a question. How does this help with lag. This was very interesting but I just wanted to know? c;

 

Speediest shows you you'r download speed and upload speed and ping. So it shows u if the server will be slow or fast if u use ur brain.

 

Oh I read it as this is how you can fix that "lag" that you have on brawl C:

 

I want you to realise that the Speedtest.net doesn't tell you your own download speeds. It tells you your ISP's download speeds. It will normally select a server you live within driving distance of and it tests the speed of the line, rather than from your own connection. Speedtest.net isn't in any way accurate to find your internet speeds, especially if the server is overseas.
When I do a Speedtest it will normally say around 54mb/s DL and 12mb/s UP mb/s = megabits a second
54mbits = 6.75 Megabytes a second.
12mbits = 1.50 Megabytes a second
The highest DL I've seen on my connection get to is 2.30 Megabytes and that is with an Ethernet cable plugged directly from my modem to my PC. My upload is also only like .50 Megabytes a second.

To find out why the server is lagging for you, you would have to take in 5 different factors.
-The location
-The Server's quality
-The Player Count
-The Specific map/location
-Your own connection

Me personally, I get much better connections to servers in places like America/Canada. For instance, a factions server I play on, which is somewhere in the west coast of the US or something. I get around 70-100 ms and it's perfectly playable, no obvious delaying or anything, I don't feel overpowered in PVP and it just feels normal.
On Brawl, no matter what map I'm playing. I will have 120+ms to the server. There's major delays on everything, eating, bowing, souping, potting, you name it. The combat isn't bad. But if the player has speed or is a ninja, I just get dominated no matter what nub it is, they will just smack me around and I can't get a single hit in.
Basically. The lag is no fault of ours. It's something on brawl's end. Either they are paying for a low quality server or perhaps it's just the location. I still feel like them moving it to the east coast would solve any European's connection problems and anyone in the US it wouldn't impact at all.

 

Interesting most of the time its code/server side lag though o; Its usually fixed shortly after.

 

It's not brawl ._.

 

I'm in Finland.

 

It could also benefit you in the way that you can tell whether the lag is from your side or a server related issue. This way you can tell if you need to call your internet provider about a lack of speed (etc.).

 

I can tell you from my experience that it is brawl. Minecraft and cmd tell me I get ~120 ms but it is not 120 ms. It might say that but the game is more like a slightly playable 300ms. There's 2/3 second delays on everything I do. Today I was just trying to pvp as chemist and my health pots where being tossed 2/3 seconds later in a the place I was when i threw it so im not getting the heal at all. I am just getting smacked around by some american engineer kid and hes not even in my range to hit.

Then I go onto a server hosted in US west I believe and I have ~120 ms. Normally higher numbers than brawl and it's fine, no delaying, normal pvp, as long as I'm not pvping some kid with a broken arm after the fight sweating his ass off jitterclicking.

I'm pretty sure this problem could be fixed by them updating their server or even finding one in the same price range in a better suited location for EU players.
In my thread I've tried complaining about it, but without as much people on board as possible. The admins, or whoever deals with stuff like this won't realise what it's like for the majority of the EU players. https://www.brawl.com/threads/44738/#post-577176

 

I have a 33.28 Mbps download speed, 12.2 Mbps upload speed, and 8 ping. Is that good?

 

divide the DL and upload by 8 and you get the right numbers. It's good ping but im pretty sure the DL/UL arent too good

 

I didn't use speedtest, I used a more reliable source that actually had the nearest connection. So the results are accurate.

 

yes but mbps is megaBITS per second. the one you're looking for is megaBYTES per second. there's 1 megaBYTE in every 8 megaBITS

 

Yeah I know I calculated it in megaBITS. My internet is very fast (105mbps).

 

I live in England and have really low download and upload speeds but my Ping is great I very rarely lag on brawl as I get around 90 ping (Obviously it'd be nice to be on an EU server and get 20 but hey.

 

Yeah I'm hearing of people in the UK still getting better connections than us but even the cheapest Internet in the UK is on par with the best, most expensive internet in Ireland.. We're getting a new ISP because it's heavily needed considering the amount of people on at once(That isn't what makes me lag on brawl) I suppose I'm going to see what kind of connection I'm getting once that comes in
