Living alone, and I’m looking for a relatively cheap ISP/Router so I can have something to play PlayStation. I’m not sure about the exact size, but I live in a two room apartment and alone, no additional floor to worry about.
I have an Ethernet cable, but I’m looking for something consistent and reliable, while also being cheap.
First time ever doing this as I’m 18 and don’t know what questions to ask beside what seems obvious to me, but i’m trying to plan a decent budget. Obviously other things like food, water, and of course rent are a priority. Though I’m trying to plan things out.
Single, two bedroom, at 18??? Sweet! Firstly, sweet! Hopefully that PS5 will get less and less use as your badass setup occupies your social time more and more.
I digress.
If you’re not concerned with waiting a little extra time to download a new game, 50Mbps and 500Mbps are the same experience for you. Give a list of all your local ISPs and their offers. Then do NOT get upsold to a speed you don’t need
Prioritize a fiber optic provider if you have a choice. I recently switched from cable and my ping/lag/latency on fiber is reliably 3ms. On Coax/modem it was more like 15ms. Still, first world lag, but it is noticable (and I don’t game anymore, just surfing use more responsive)
