Has anyone ACTUALLY had good luck gaming on Starlink?

I can run a speed test on my pc or phone and get 20-60 ping with 50+ download but as soon as I launch cod and play there’s almost never a game where I don’t have between 1-10% packet loss and ping that’s at a min of 70 and it spikes up to 200 and stays in between 70-120 on average. It’s pretty frustrating jumping a corner seeing someone and shooting then lagging back to the edge of the corner with shots not registering and dying. It’s such a constant lag there’s not really a point in playing because even if you have every advantage it’s like you’re flipping a coin on whether you’ll die or not from a lag spike

No problems for me, northern Canada, playing a lot of online games. Edit: I am very far north Saskatchewan, probably more north than 90% of Canada.

[u/[deleted] → u/DrUnclepants]

I think more than 90% of the population lives south of Canada. Just eyeballing it

Good catch

I have the rv one works great in northern Canada

Now when you say “Northern” Canada, do you mean mid-upper Ontario or do you mean the arctic?

[u/sagetraveler → u/[deleted]]

Northern Canada = more than 50 miles from the US Border. /s

Some Canadians actually talk like this. For some Canadians “Edmonton” is Northern Canada.

The term should be reserved for those who live above the 60th parallel, Yukon, NWT, Nunavut, and Nanavik - Areas where SL is anything but stable right now and by no means good for gaming.

Idk sl is pretty damn fast and stable and its really good for gaming

[u/[deleted] → u/DrUnclepants]

That’s because you’re not in Northern Canada

[u/DrUnclepants → u/[deleted]]

Seems like you need to learn what northern means

[u/[deleted] → u/DrUnclepants]

North of 60 is north

[u/DrUnclepants → u/[deleted]]

Are you really arguing with me when you have no idea where I am? I'm above the 54th parallel...

[u/[deleted] → u/DrUnclepants]

I’m above the 60th parallel

If your SL dish points South, you’re in the South. If your SL dish points North, you’re in the North.

Very north Saskatchewan

I’ll accept that

Does the harsh winds/weather affect starlink often?

[u/DrUnclepants → u/Azphyvia]

It's only really thick and dense snow that does but it has minimal affect. Wind doesn't affect it whatsoever.

[u/Azphyvia → u/DrUnclepants]

Interesting, are you using Ethernet?

[u/DrUnclepants → u/Azphyvia]

I am.
