Help please

[Jamaw]

Ok I seriously need someone who knows a lot about this stuff.

 

Ok I have dish net satellite Internet through frontier

 

I know satellite internet can have problems with gaming on xbox and ps3 due to latency and ping issues but I need to get that fixed

 

Earlier today I tried playing madden 13 on my ps3 and it always says my Internet connection has timed out, so I was wondering how do I fix this or am I just stuck with it.

 

I'm also thinking about buying a Xbox 360 slim I'm thinking this might speed it up

 

And when I try to go and play mw2 on my ps3 it says something like 0/52 potential games found then it says joint lobby but it only puts me in the lobby

 

It's probably because no one plays mw2 on ps3 anymore but I don't know

 

So please help me out

 

Should I get an Xbox

Should I just wait for better Internet which will be about another year

 

And help give me any tips you can thanks

 

I know this doesn't pertain to gta v but please admins maybe you could help me to

 

And when I'm playing madden it always says your Internet connection has timed out and the lagging is just horrible it's awful

Satellite Internet just has a horrible ping, ergo all online games will be completely horrible, you will just lag the games and other players will not want to play with you, you'll probably end up being kicked all the time anyways.

 

You have to remember that your connection is established via a satellite in the geostationary orbit, which is at around 35000km. Twice the distance makes 70000km for the signal to go back and forth. That alone already has a delay of nearly a 1/4 second (240ms at closest distance). Now your connection is going through servers and all that and add another delay, so in the end you will have a ping of around 300-1000ms (those are all values I've heard from satellite users).

For most online games you need at least a ping of under 150ms, for shooters even a ping of under 50ms to have a good result.

 

But I guess you can always do a speedtest @ www.speedtest.net , you'll see that the resulting ping will not be any good, sorry.
