according to my information there will never be packet prioritization on a dial-up connection like vdsl/ftth. i can say that for germany. Also it is not possible to turn off error correction or DLM/Assia.
it is probably only possible with a leased line or dedicated lines.
It is impossible to maintain quality standards or SLA's on a shared line. Everything is shared no matter if vdsl, ftth or cable internet. From my point of view the error correction is the culprit. Maybe the own line runs well and has few errors but on the main cable to the PoP are hundreds of other customers with lots of traffic etc.
I am trying a leased line with 4 mbit, direct connection to the backbone with packet prioritization from the 20th of july. If that doesn't work then i'm out
i think unfortunately until starlink works extensively it will still take. my feeling tells me but that it will not be optimal for gaming but i like to be convinced of the opposite.
Well i'm very curious to get your review of the leased line ! How much does it cost per month ? (which country ?)
Starlink is still not optimal from what i heard coz there is not enough satelite for the moment maybe 2000 when they plan on 45000... so for now the stability might not be great
it's in germany. One-time setup fee is about 950 dollars (800 euros) + monthly it costs 276 dollars (233 euros) for 4 mbit, which would be enough for gaming.
The price is really high, unfortunately, generally mobile and Internet is expensive compared to other countries.
It is also sick that we live in a world with such technical progress and book a leased line to play, but I want to try the last option after all the testing and research.
Technically there is nothing better and unfortunately I have no alternative here. 2 mbit would also be possible but I'm not 100% sure if that's enough for gaming. Of course 10, 20, 50 or 1.000, 10.000 mbit would be possible but I can't and don't want to pay that for a hobbie.
2 mbit would cost around 140 dollars (120 euros). If I consider that I pay 77 dollars per month for VDSL 250 mbit and only double that for the best possible quality, then that is acceptable. But I still need a 50, 100 or 250 mbit connection in parallel for netflix, downloads, etc..
All a lot of money and no certainty that it works. For me personally it would be fine if you work a lot and then in the free time to pursue a hobby without handicap.
I don't want to give up either and it's not in my nature and the frustration of playing with 0.5 sec delay and bad highreg is also pointless.
You spend so much money on the best hardware which is useless in my view in relation to a perfect internet connection. I would rather have a perfect internet line and a garbage pc with 60 hz and 50 fps than a top pc and a junk line.
