okay it's official, your an idiot. bungie will NEVER impliment connection restriction on competitive events and bungie will probably not impliment full network connection stats ect. "Why?" you ask, because it would alienate players and cause people to lose more faith in an already dwindling game, if you want to stop people from getting into games based on ping and connection you really are an idiot. you would have people looking at players connection stats and then saying to then "no i don't want you in my game" and then kick players from fireteams, all based on connection stats not on the skill of the player. i have gone from a 100Mb line to a 3Mb line and i see no major difference in the amount of ping i usually get a ping of around 30-70 ping between here and 60 miles away, i play PvE as i REFUSE to play the lag infested PvP (and yes even when i was on the 100Mb line it was still lag infested). [b](sarcasm alert[/b]): ping is based how far you are from your internet junction and your internet provider (along with whatever lines they uses, copper wire or fibre ect what the providers severs are like) then add to that the amount of time it takes to send a packet from your computer to another and back again (ping rate also changes based on the time of day where you are and local internet trafic) [b](Sarcash ends)[/b]. at low internet speeds lets say from birmingham UK to adelaide austrailia which i just tested should be somewhere around the 300 ping mark at 3 Mb speeds, the ping should not take too much longer than at higher speeds. and there is already a recomended internet speed for the game itself of around 3Mb.
