You sure as hell made it sound like thatDolan wrote:@aaryngend
Where did I say that there's no difference (for gaming) between an Ethernet and wifi connection? You're addressing an argument I never made.
And you're bringing arguments I never disputed. You're talking about the limits of materials in transmitting data. Where the heck did I ever talk about or imply that Wifi could carry the same amount of data/information as a wired connection? This is just your strawman.
Why do you come up with 15kb/s now ? That would be even slow for 56k modem days Fact is, the bandwidth you use per second in online gaming is so little it isn't worth mentioning at all. Hence the argument that bandwidth (almost) doesn't matter. What matters most is how well the packets travel. Plenty of peeps with 50mbit but still having trouble in online gaming. A bad line for me is a line where you almost or never get your subscribed internet speed.
You misunderstood me then. I didn't say wifi is using electricity, i was talking about the line from your ISP to your home.Jerom wrote:Yes I study physics, which is why I for one dont claim that wifi has much to do with electricity like you do. And besides, my points about travel time are exactly consistent with measurements and based on facts.
The fact of the matter is that its perfectly possible to have a stable wifi connection.
Read up on it, a true fiber connection doesn't let electricity travel through its pipelines. I read it on the german wiki: "Außerdem ist das übertragene Signal unempfindlich gegenüber elektrischen und magnetischen Störfeldern und bietet eine ziemlich hohe Abhörsicherheit."
What you consider stable is everyone's own definition. For someone who used to lag like hell all day, even a mediocre wifi gaming environment is like a godsend to them. For someone with ethernet, the lag spikes which happen due to the wifi are a no-go.
