whats a decent connection speed for gta online to function properly?

[j0hn_d0e]

Never enough

 

[iheartlondon1969]

lol you gtaforums people always have the rite meme for every occasion!

[SpidersWeb]

Connection speed isn't really relevant. Anything measured in mbit's will be ample.

 

It's the ping time to the servers, and how crammed up your ISPs lines are - two things they don't advertise.

[Xyn]

If you live alone & your neighborhood isn't exactly internet-happy, 2mb will suffice, but there may be occasional lag here & there.

For optimal performance (0 lag in DM's, Races & most things) 8mb.

TL:DR
Required 2mb
Recommended: 8mb+

I'd say atleast 50mbps. But tbh, you out most anyone with sh*tty connection. I hate people playing with hamster wheel routers.

[Fail_At_GTA]

I like how my signal strength is 40% and I never lag on GTA Online.

[Shaundi.]

Wait for cloudserverslol to come in & say it's "Dickstars fault".

 

It's all about your ISP.

[GTA-Freak-Vi]

I have a 3MB internet connection and its still good so you don't need that much for it to function properly

You don't see yourself lagging, but others do.

As once my dear friend said, Even 1 mbps is enough. Even though I still use my 6mbps with wifi that too!

[aXsMatrix]

I am running a 25mbps DSL, ping is around 80-100 usually and I am lag free except for races involving 6 or more people, than I get random vehicles appearing in front of me, hit walls I am not anywhere close to and the slightest bump on another player send me flying.

 

cant wait for our 260mbps fiber line to be installed in a few months

[Shaundi.]

When I'm playing, I normally have cars drifting around corners, parked cars killing me, cars de spawning. Someone in the lobby has a sh*t internet connection.

Someone watches too much porn! lol Just kidding! btw how much do you intend to pay for that much speed?

[Stephen]

28.8 kbps make sure you set the baud rate to 115200

[Tabula Rasa]

Have you tried plugging it in?

If that doesn't work, try turning it off and on again.

Same here, only racing seems to be a bit laggy here and there but its fine for the most part.

[ChillerVapes]

During downtime due to upgrading my fibre connection to 100mbps I used my phones 3.5g connection and had no problems at all!

Gotta love living in Australia, huh? All these Americans talking about 25mbps DSL and 100-260mbps fibre and we're stuck with 8mbps ADSL2 if we're lucky.

That's probably why his K/D ratio is so high.

idk for about anyone else, but for internet usage 50mbps is sufficient. This is taking in for all the devices using the internet at once, if you don't have other devices using internet 30mbps would be fine. Also when they say "30" or "50", that just means max speed. You won't always get that number specially after work hours when people get home and start getting on their tvs and such. The best ping to have is below 50. 50-100 is ok, but still that is when the lag starts to happen. Anything above 100 is horrible. Its one reason why I stopped playing COD, the amount of broke people playing online with ping levels reaching upwards of 250 was just killing me. Specially since the game used lag compensation, I was getting ripped off half the time.

Yeah...

 

Where I am at the moment I'm right on the edge of the local exchange. A couple houses farther away and I wouldn't even be able to get ADSL 2+ at all.

[Is this The Guy?]

Lol almost ashamed to post my speed

[gorskiegangsta]

1-2Mbps is ample bandwidth even for a lobby full of tanks and jets blowing sh*t up. Latency (aka. ping), however, is a whole another matter. I, for one, have ample bandwidth (50Mbps) and fairly low latency, which ranges between 4ms and 24ms, and am still having issues (i.e. hangs/timeouts) with Online from time to time, simply because Rockstar can't get their sh*t together on the server side.

[Omnifarious]

Well, I'm running off a two bar Wi-Fi signal from a bar across the street just fine.

Cloud servers usually have terrible latency when compared to dedicated servers, especially when the cloud server is running some kind of virtualization hypervisor. That's probably the issue we're all experiencing with the Rockstar Cloud servers.

[Mr.Aaron]

Lol at the people saying at least 50MB. Anything over 1MB is fine, it's how your ISP is routed that makes the difference Ala Ping.

ISP = McDonald's.

[CarimboHanky]

well it depends a lot on your isp...

 

you may have a 20mbps connection but your isp have a terrible infrastructure that give you a ping of 200ms.

 

i know people that play with a 3mb connection.

 

i play with 10mb cable connection...

 

at the end of the day cloud servers suck!

 

dedicated servers>>>>>>>>>>>cloud servers

[saintsrow]

I don't have any actual useful information regarding the OP's question, so I will just be snarky and say you should go for a ping time of 2000 msec, so you f*ck up the session for everybody and rack up some undeserved K/D.

 

You should be able to achieve this when everyone in your neighborhood or apartment building is watching Netflix HD Movies on Demand at the same time.

[Terrato137]

20/0 K/D on dial up.

SUCK IT!

j/k

"Decent" would be w/e you don't lag at. I'm around 18mbps but sometimes i'll still lag a little, not often but it does happen.
