Basically higher is better. My internet is 29 Mbps and I never lag in anything. But anything about 10 is good. I think 7 Mbps would be a minimum.

i have verizon, and i think 7mbps is what i have with dsl

i have no issues playing online unless someone is surfing the net at the same time, then it lags

That's why I said 7 Mbps is a minimum. It works, just not as well. We have like 9 computers and everyone is constantly online. Hence paying ridiculous amounts for 29 Mbps.
 
You can play games with a half meg connection with a ping of around 200ms, 1 meg would be the minimum I would go for now and on games like counterstrike source you get a ping of around 40-100ms depending on the time of day on a 1 meg line. I had to put up with half meg internet for about 8 months when I moved a couple of years ago and it done the job but was far from perfect.
Satellite will always give you a high ping because the signal has to be bounced around and be processed more before anything happens on your screen, a hardline cuts this delay out.
A lower end hardline will probably be better than satellite.

i wasn't trying to argue, just stating a fact. i know the higher the better

thank you for understanding how the internet works.

The ping/lag is directly related on the hardware latency.


ping/lag is like a shipping company
mbps is like the size of trucks they have.



If your shipping company takes for ever to put in the order...it doesn't really matter how fast they can drive those trucks its still going to be up to them to send them out.

same for the other way, if the company only has 1/2 tonn trucks its going to take a pretty long time to get all the resources you want.



also you should actually check your real speed www.speedtest.net

they also tell you your latency.

ok so this is what i got now. where is my problem

download 1.11 mb/s
upload .24mb/s
pink 1000ms
 
definitely your ping.

download speed only matters when you have a constant connection like playing a youtube video or downloading a big file.


the best way to get fast connection is by fiber optics, because light is faster then electrons.

Most isp's have a fiber back bone to each other... (T1 connection)

then they'll have a (t3 connection) to distribution centers.

some of those will send out lines to homes that will give you DSL.

(that is the fastest)

distributors also can do microwave internet

(this is a little slower but great for lots of close wireless users)

distributors also can do 3G (4G, wifimax, etc[normally for cellphones])

(this is very fast, BUT because of the way its engineered it has a bucket load of lag)

distributers also can do satellite internet...which beams the signal up to a satellite, then beams it down to your house...

(this is very laggy and buggy because of the shear distance between the connections...weather etc and because of the hardware on the satellites most of the time you'll get a fairly slow speed)
 
ping on a T1 line is about 10ms to 0. (its actually limited on the computer side)
ping on a T3 line is near 20-50ms
ping on a DSL line is near 200ms-500ms depending on server load
ping on microwave (unknown to myself)
ping on 3G 500- +5,000ms depending on server load
ping on a satellite is 500- +5,000ms depending on weather, server load
