you heard it here first we need GAMING INTERNET with RGB

linus: "is your Internet fast enough?" video starts to buffer me: i think i know

Him: Shows a clip of 150 ping Me: **Laughs in 1000 ping**

I have a newfound respect for my school’s IT department not blocking spotify web player. That’s a pretty chad move right there, and the sheer number of chromebooks on the network at once makes it all the more impressive that it’s not slower than molasses flowing down a mountain.

“You need 5-10 mbps to watch HD video” Me: *Cries in 500 kbps*

4Mbps between a family of 8... *It's going to get wild*

Meanwhile me with 20Mbit and 4 Streams going and some online gaming in the same household.

"if you have several isps to choose from." funniest joke of 2019

Meanwhile: me watching this video on 140p while downloading 82GB torrent that won’t finish until next week.

Thanks Linus, you've actually helped me instead of just being entertaining wich is cool aswell.

I love that Linus has such a CLEAR ARTICULATION that even if I speed up x2 I can clearly understand everything (I'm not native english)

Me: gets a decent internet connection Neighbors: allow us to introduce ourselves

Techquickie: Is Your Internet FAST Enough? Me: no EDIT: I have better internet now. (Edited 7th of February 2021)

"It's probably a waste to have a insanely fast internet connection if you live alone with one computer and a phone" I don't know man, being able to download a 60GB in 5 minutes is pretty sweet, I try not to think about the £87 a month but I hate having crappy internet

we were a family of 5 on 5mbs for the last 10 years, our isp out of the blue installed fiber optic and for the same price we now we 50 down and 20 up. couldn't be happier lol

Linus: you need 40-50 mbps for 4k Me: cries in 144p

*DATA CAPS?! Laughs in no-limit*

Always great educational stuff, love the tips, fast speed makes life so easy --

linus: you need atleast 50 mbps my family and i with 5 phones 3 laptops and 2 desktops: 5 mbps is enough

The internet here in Philippines is only fast when you’re about to pay the bill then after that, it’s slow again.

My ISP has a monopoly over my area so I don't have a choice. Alright speeds, overly priced.

I love that he said like or dislike! Giving people options and being transparent love it

Linus: *We recommend 50mbit/s* Also Linus: has like 1000mbit/s

I buffered 4 times while watching this video... *Is your internet fast enough?* Hmmmm...

LTT: Has 2Gb Internet Speed For One Device Me: 98kbs Internet For 6 Devices Help!

I still remember 10 years ago when I couldn't afford to have internet brought to my parents' home too so when I was there I would use an usb flash drive that had been given to my mother by her employer. This usb thumb drive would allow my laptop to have a stable 124 kbps (not Mbit !!) internet speed that was not enough to play any video on UKposts or anywhere else BUT it WAS enough to play world of warcraft without any latency as long as I don't go into a 25men raid or a 40 men battleground - i.e. solo and smaller groups. I used it for more than an year and it was a life savior.

I was damn surprised by the price of internet in the US and Canada, here in Nepal, we get about 500 Mbps up and down for just $6 a month

Who remembers the days when it took 20 minutes to download a 5.3mb mp3?

This video is made to explain why LTT needs 10Gbps connection

i got gigabit fiber because its was only like 10€ more expensive than 300mbs and the stability is amazing havent had a single outage and at busy time of day the speeds arent affected in a measurable way

It's always better to have faster speeds just because you can download files faster... Video games for example are quite large these days... It can be the difference between 5 mins on the high in and an 1 and a half hours on the low... Also ISP have made it such that the difference between different tiers is quite minor... Mostly around 15-20$ per tier... Specrium used to charge a one time 200 "connection fee" for gig and +50$ for the teir upgrade but faced with stiff competition from fiber those days are over...

Linus:is your internet fast enough? Me:struggles to load this video at 360p

My internet connection is SOOOO slow! But how do I get my neighbors to upgrade without them knowing I'm stealing their WiFi?

For me I would do fine with 10mbps download and 50 mbps upload since I often have big files that need to be uploaded (in the realm of 10gb)

"You're cute when you're pixalated!" xD

Linus: We recomend 50mb/s Me: Laughs in 0.02mb/s average speed

You’re Cute when you’re pixelated! Perfect 👌 🤣

When I was a kid, we had no internet until 2006 when dial up became avalible in our area. In 2010, we were able to update to DSL with speeds of 0.5 mbps. By 2017, I had moved only a few blocks away, where I upgraded to speeds of 1.5 mbps which is costing a rediculous $89.00 monthly. No progress has been made since.

Its true: Gaming doesn't need a high bandwidth, but not having a high bandwidth can become problematic if you are running servers or have other people using the same internet as you. If you bump against the bandwidth ceiling, you will introduce artificial latency and dropped packets. If you want to avoid those lag spikes and high latency that appear randomly when room mates are in the other room kicking off a large download, you need to make sure that you have plenty of bandwidth for both of you. You can play video games just fine on a 10Mbps connection, until someone tries to Facetime their grandma.

Internet is like cars, faster is always better, even if it’s not always necessary 😉

-Me watching this video -Starts buffering -yea. I need more bandwidth

Although bandwidth isn't super important when playing online games, it is important when downloading games, or anything for that matter. For activities like web browsing, video streaming, or gaming, data usage is relatively consistent. But when downloading files, your computer will try to pull data down as fast as the internet connection will allow. So higher bandwidth will always mean faster download speeds. For example, a 100mbps connection will download a 2 GB file in 1m40s, although it will generally be longer because the bandwidth will be shared between devices and you likely will experience some slowdowns. Wheras a 1gbps connection will download the same file in 16 seconds, with the same caveats.

I use 300 Mbps internet for my daily work as well as for personal usage in these pendemic times. I never have any streaming issue in my network. I use 4 devices and another 3 device(QoS services enabled). However my ISP gave us fiber dual band ONT router of some unknown vendor.

*Calls AT&T* Me: "Oh yes, I'd like to upgrade my internet" AT&T: "We're sorry, the highest we offer in your area is your current 1.5mbs" And it's been like that for 7 years now....

We recommend at least 10mbs per person. *Australians*: how about per house?

I live in rural oklahoma and our electric company set up their own fiber network and we just got it. Let me tell ya. We tested wired in and it peaked at about 980Mbps And wireless was about 600Mbps. And only $80 a month. Its fantastic

Thank you! learned a lot today.

"Is Your Internet FAST Enough?" Me:- *Yeah... My Internet is so fast I can watch this video on 240p. I usually used to watch videos on 144p.*

"how high of a cap do you need every month ?" *laughs in european ISP with unlimited cap since the 2000s*

It also depends on if you have FTTN or FTTH connection as well as node distance also.

Linus: We recomend 50mbit/s Me: I guess 1000mbit/s is enough.

LTT: Downloading 2GB for only 2 mins and 40 seconds Me: Is this some joke I'm too poor to understand?

You know your internet is slow when you buffer through this video at 144p. Welcome to 2019

I just ordered my local Electric company's Internet service called Cumberland Connect here in Tennessee... Symmetrical Speeds... 1000 up and 1000 down... And I also sometimes get a 0 ms Ping... Damn good internet. At the same time I still feel bad for Australia.

Just tested my Comcast Cable Internet in PA via Google Speed Test project stream and say's DWNLD 76mbps with an 11mbps upload. Ran it several times and it varies between 75-86mbps download speed. I'm gonna have to call Comcast and see what's exactly on my plan.

Him speaking: "I assume you must be watching this in HD or you must not be watching this video" Me watching in 144p because of my internet provider: ................

My internet be like: UKposts: **is able to run at 4k 60fps** Roblox: **100 ping**

I pay $66.00 dollars for 100 mbps download speed, 10 mbps upload. Was only getting around 50 mbps until I bought a high speed router, now I'm pushing 114 mbps download and 13 mbps upload. Have 2 TV's 4k, 2 PC's and tablets. Speed has only slowed down when 2 TV's were watching 4k movies and a PC was going too. Speed dropped to 80 mbps, other than that, it runs pretty fast.

I work in IT and since I work from home most of the time, they pay up to $75 of my internet bill, so I'm able to get 2Gig true fiber for the price of an ISP's lowest tier

Is your internet fast enough? Leave me alone..

"Is your internet fast enough?" no duh

Thank you so much this helped a lot!!!! You saved my life

i just had a thought What if there was "shipping" for digital product like for example COD warfare (the new one with warzone) is over 200GB so if you are paying for 100mbps the it will take forever. imagen if you could pay a "shipping" small fee to have the game download at 1,000mbps then when it is done your speed goes back to 100. it would be like those express shipping options you see on amazon that almost no one clicks on. not every ISP could do it but I assume some ISP just hook you up to the same internet and throttle your connection to whatever plan you are paying for so they just unthrottle it for that file.

No it is not thank you for asking.

Thank god there are no datacaps in the Netherlands (for a home connection)😂

After the electric companies sister company ran fiber, I now get 100 Mbps speed and was happy when I got it, I am still happy with them. When I had my phone companies 10 Mbps phone line internet, I didn't like it, to top it all off the junction box that controlled it all would go down mostly when it rained, most of the time the only thing affected was the phone and not internet, yet that speed was too slow cause of available gig speed in bigger towns. The electric company saw a niche that wasn't being filled and decided to take the plunge and run fiber, even though I live in a town they still consider it a rural area cause of the size and we have no stores anymore. I was considering moving up to gig speed, yet it is around $170!

i got an internet upgrade from 500kbps - 2mbps to 20 - 25 mbps. its so great to be able to download games so quickly and have a latency on 5 or less

Me: Living in Australia with 5mb/s on a good day Edit: I got nbn and am chilling on 50mb/s but damn it's not nearly as good/fast as you guys Damnn

move to Romania, 1Gbps 2ms ping for 9 USD / month and you'll pay your rent with the rest.

Considering my hometown was monopolized by dsl, which charged $60/month for 10 down 1 up, I'm more than happy to pay $50/month for 100 down 10 up. As a student who lives alone it's honestly a steal and more than fast enough for just me.

"You need 50 mbps to run gaming" Me laughing on 84 kbps

My Friends: 10Mbps Me : 10000 kbps

We recommend 10mbs for a person. Pakistaniz: what about whole town

I live an a rural area. There’s only one ISP available. They only offer one 10MB plan. I only get at maximum 2MB. On most days it’s less than 1MB. I don’t live alone either, so anytime someone wants to use the internet, we have to negotiate a time because only one person can use the wifi at a time. I pay way more for my phones data plan because it’s incredibly fast compared to my home wifi and I don’t have to worry about low bandwidth. I can barely play online games, and it’s usually only reliable during off peak hours.

"You're cute when pixelated." 😂😂😜

I need cash. Into the desk, my head goes bash. The reason being my ping is trash.

Didn't know it was so expensive on the other side of the globe :/ In Italy you can have Gigabit connection with 4G sim card on the router as backup, all unlimited for 20€/month

Short answer: no Long answer: N O

me: want to download gta5 (95GB) my internet: 5mb/s my internet on steam/epic store: 300kb/s also me: -_-

90 ping high latency Me: i wish i could get that latency bro

1:14 you got me good there Linux

Last year I upgraded my broadband connection and the average speed of the new one is more than 80mbps and it's so good now.

And then there is me with 3.3 kb/s and 900-1200 ping

I like getting acceptable use notices from spectrum when re-downloading my Steam library.

You did a great job and the presentation was enjoyable to watch. Also this was simple and helpful to me. Thank you

My internet speed isn’t even good enough to do a internet speed test. The WiFi at McDonald’s is literally 10 times better then mine

At&t: we have fiber With 250mb/sec!!! Sudden link: we have 1gb/sec without fiber. At&t: .............

Lives in Netherlands: laughs in no datacaps with every isp

"you will need somewhere between 5-10 mbps" me: "laughs and keeps paying for 50 mbps while getting 300 kbps"

Thank you 👍

2:59 PING 97 High Latency We, on the other hand, play with 500-900 PING.

"We recommend 10-15mbs for each person" Iran: I'm gonna pretend like I didn't see that

I got a question. I've been doing multiple speed tests tonight and the last one I did, my internet was lagging, it showed a different (far) location than all previous tests. Is this normal?

I used to stream sometimes when I lived with my parents, where we had really good internet. But then I started living here, tried streaming once, and the best quality was 480p at 15fps... turned out our upload for the three of us was 5 Mbps... and now let's do the covid life and everything :,)

1:14 me and my 2 Mbps internet. "Interesting"

“It’s sad that Finish before my web browser Loads up “HuB”

I like this channel because it's perfect for a lunch break 👌

i'm living in denmark and my ISP is fire cuz they dont limit. if you pay for 25mbps, they guarranty 250 but it often goes up to 600 because they put no limit.

romania: 10$ for 1Gbps connection. At least we are still good at something...

Been getting into this subject on my own this past few days. Almost perfect timing on upload. Thank you!!
