I think we should have Jav host the LMP battle and maybe Flyin or Gatrs do the GT battle. Is this a possibility? It might be the way to meet the least resistance to the dreaded black screen.

Jeez Gatrs. That's the worst test I've ever seen. Low down/up speeds with a moderately high ping. I feel sorry for your ISP man. Sorry.

This is mine. You would want to have a lower ping right?

Gatrs lives near Granby, MA

This would probably be my best pick for the best possible internet experience, though your ping is a bit higher

This would be my second pick. His speeds may be slightly slower, but he's got a better ping rating.

As for me, I did several tests before and got on average 1.5 MB/s Download and around 600 KB/s Upload and less than 50 ms PING. My ISP is supposed to be at 2.5 MB/s Down and over 800 KB/s Up. I have DSL from Verizon because it's the only service Verizon has around here, but I am changing as soon as I can because my ISP's service is starting to deteriorate fast. Comcast has Xfinity available here, and I really had no problem with them in the past. So I'm thinking of switching to Comcast. I have had issues with Verizon in past before, too, cell phone wise.

With these tests, you want the best down/up speed, with the lowest PING value as possible. You also want to run several tests and average them out.

ping is basically just the distance/speed you are from the "server" or whatever device you're connecting to. if i ping something here in atlanta i get a 15ms speed, but if i ping something in california it will be around 100ms or more. since we dont all live in the same state, its inevitable that some of us are going to have higher pings than others (see pipi).

i think we're nit picking here to be honest, although having a host with a fast connection and in a central US location would be ideal

True, but what if the glitch keeps happening? Are we just going to postpone the series indefinitely?

I much prefer the dual-traffic, since that's what multi-class racing is all about, but if it's going to ruin the race, I say we could at least give it a try.

No wonder we have issues lol.
FH is hosting, OK?

I'll withhold further judgement until we give it a try with Flyin.

Yes, PING is affected by distance travelled. However, it shouldn't be affected by a huge margin. Gatrs ping is about average for around cross country travel. It uses the ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) protocol (very different than UDP or TCP) mainly used for diagnostics. But now we're getting off topic here.

I've also run some tests here:

EDIT: Just ran some tests of my own.

Local Testing (from source to Boston Server Comcast).

International Testing 3 (from source to Tokyo Server World's Fastest Indian)

The Average of 5 tests:

Download: 1.88 MB/s
Upload: 684 KB/s
PING: 131.2 ms

This is actually decent for DSL. The host should typically have a good internet speed, but it really doesn't matter as all networks should synchronise with each other (speed wise). Location really shouldn't be a problem either, as may recall we have people here from over seas as well!

That looks good, except you upload looks a little on the slow side in my honest opinion (I don't do AOL talk by the way).
 
Unfortunately upload speeds are often neglected by broadband companies. Off upload speeds where as good as download speeds there would never be any lag...
 
I just finished the IndyCar series' 12 man Bashfest Indy 200.

Went like 30 minutes longer due to cautions. I'm eating, showering quick, will come

Less talky more FH setting up roomy :D

Also, do I have time for a quick shower (15 min)?

Shut the hell up! :dopey: But seriously, practice does sound good. Gives me time to test out more cars. :D We can try to set up a room with Flyin as the host, but I don't think it matters as to who is the host. If we are talking about the infamous bug here, it matters little as to who is the host and what ISP or internet speeds you have. Personally, I think it's related to the hardware on the PS3.

EDIT: Nice vid Jav. to bad Porsche can't be in GT5. Thanks a lot EA.

Well, you may want to retry the speed test on a PC instead, although it shouldn't make a difference. Sorry, just saw this reply now. Just use the share results feature on the site to post the results.
 
I don't think I'm going to try tonight. There's some things going on right now, I can't spend too much time playing right now. So yeah, don't wait for me. Good luck everyone!
