Why our internet in America is terrible. What really holds the FGC back

i hate lag. in shooters, its doable. for fighters, its unplayable. playing with delay/lag makes things unreactable, and inputs not come out, making the way for more random shit and lazy-er players. Fighting game players are lazy,broke, or have no time to travel to meetups or tournaments. We have online play tho? so why aren’t we all able to play together?

because we all run our internet through the same shitty copper wires from 100 years ago. FiOs is only availible to 10% of the country. if you live in a building you usually have to go through that buildings isp. which is usually one of two Time Warner or Comcast. I really feel like gamers as a whole need to make this known as an issue.

America is too docile and complacent with its crappy policies and being overcharged for bad services. I guess all we need is bread and circus to keep us happy…

anyways, this lady gives you more of the details.

@valaris ?

When making a thread about the FGC you should try putting it in the FGD forum not here.

Fuck that, FGD is not the place for shitty threads, stop throwing the garbage that you don’t want there

No no no, in 'murica, our streets are paved with gold and everyone else lives on dirt floors. The US is the advent of civilization and the policeman of the world.

Wrong forum eff ay jee

This thread is relevant to General Discussion.

This dude thinks ONLINE PLAY is holding back the FGC.

Pretty much…

America does not have bad internet.

Other countries would kill for your infrastructure, dated though it is.

Enough with the unwarranted sense of entitlement.

It is pretty bad though.

If Fiber Optic is viable, why not do it?

"Blah Blah I stuck in gaemz because of Lag…"
First off those are excuses for your salty scrubby-ness.

"we all run our internet through the same shitty copper wires from 100 years ago"
Not everyone uses dial-up pal.

"if you live in a building you usually have to go through that buildings isp"
Not true, by FCC guidelines that is now illegal


I will Admit Time Warner is the sole cable and ISP provider in New York City. And Comcast is the Devil.

"I really feel like gamers as a whole need to make this known as an issue."
Gamers? Fuck games what about education, employment, Rural town gets fucked for internet.

"America is too docile and complacent with its crappy policies"
Telecommunication is not the countries first concern.

If you want to make a point fine, do your research, do not take the word of one interview with some crack-pot book author.

You need to start with the United Sates is ranked 23 out of 211 countries when it comes to Internet.
