This is me. I'm using xfinity and paying for the 150 mega package and the tests come back decent, but the lag spikes are unbearable. I'm only moderately savvy with networking however. Can I lock down a certain IP address and use only that? I use a patch cable and never use the wifi for gaming.

[quote]Hi everyone, I'm looking to compare notes with some of you guys that actually have good internet. Here is my issue. I have a cable connection from a well-known ISP. Let's just say the name of my ISP rhymes with Cumcast. I have insane upload and download speeds that have been fantastic for over a decade. I have never, ever had the lag issues I see in Destiny. I know about p2p and why it's BS and has been since about 1994. My issue is this: WHEN I RED BAR! Like wtf? I don't experience lag in other games, I stream movies on multiple devices, I download large files and all kinds of crap. I never have problems anywhere but Destiny. I've had technicians come to my residence numerous times, replaced my ISP provided hardware with my own, and so on. If you can think of a problem, I've probably thought of it and addressed it twice at least. I even turn off ALL devices on my connection and sometimes have a red bar. I'm not throttled it seems and it's almost as if my good connection HURTS me in Destiny. So I'm wondering, how many of you have BEAST connections only to still be a f'n red bar warrior at times? I'd like to hear from some others with knowledge and experience in gaming and internet similar to my own. TL;DR Do you have an awesome internet connection and still become an occasional red bar in Destiny? Thanks for reading!!😎 EDIT: I am well versed in port forwarding and other far more advanced networking concepts. I was CISCO certified for two years, but it was about 8 years ago. Yes, I forgot how to subnet and have almost forgotten everything about the OSI 7 Layer model. Suffice it to say, I know what I'm doing with simple residential/mass market routers, switches, and modems.[/quote] Get a better modem and stop renting from comcast. If you were truly cisco certified at any point in time you would not have made this post.

It's not your internet at fault , it's a result of SBMM and peer to peer networking , and latency derived from the amount of HOPS it takes to reach the p2p host. Say you are connecting with folks from all around the world in match , you will be dealing with slow/maxed out backbone network routers, undersea cables , players who's Isp maybe be throttling traffic. It's like bringing your Porsche into a race where everyone's driving skodas, and the pace car is a winabaygo. The red bar is the ping time to a crappy host in a jungle camp somewhere

Set the mtu under connectiom settings to 1475 and open ports for the ps4 there should be losts of posts on the net i followed them im on comcast and i never red bar but i i also use powerline apadters to hard wire my ps4

and for you fan boys dont meage me harassment so go -blam!- yourself

This is for the ones who think it's always the fault of the player. http://gamingbolt.com/ten-reasons-online-gaming-will-continue-to-suck

Pretty sure it's not your isp...we have slime warner and clock 200 mbps down on our laptops. Costs a few bucks but it's worth it. Take a look at some of the articles on the web regarding PS4 Ethernet speeds. Looks like the best we'll see is 42 mbps down even under the best conditions, could be a lot better but Sony throttles it down for "network stability". Add P2P networking to the mix and everybody is going to lag from time to time. One thing I haven't seen mentioned on the forums; isn't gameplay on Sony's servers, not Bungie's?

Impossible, damage referee fixed this.

Honestly, I'm starting to think the game's netcode is just garbage.

Console do have speed cap right? So basically you don't really need crazy up/download speed! 20-30 should be more than enough! You should be fine, as long as you are wired and not sharing your network while you play.
