Horrible rubberbanding in MP games after upgrading internet

[Toxicwire†]

I recently upgraded my internet from 10Mbps to 60Mbps and now my games rubberband real bad when moving just a few feet, it happens in all MP games as I've tried several now. My computer is up to par with all the games I play and FPS isn't an issue. I've tried with Wifi and ethernet cable, both lag real bad.

My games didn't lag at all when I was just rocking 10Mbps.

How long is recently? Your ISP should have told you already that when you upgrade a connection it can take a week or more for the optimum speed to be found so expect your speeds to go up and down if it's been done very recently.

About 2 days ago is when I changed internet speeds. My download and upload speeds are were they should be now with the new internet, it's just I'm lagging bad in MP games (I'm not internet savy at all).

Yes it's normal by the sounds of it, I had it when I upgraded too but my ISP told me beforehand, so should yours.

Try here to check your speed:

Run it at different times of the day to get an average, if it doesn't improve contact your ISP and ask them to look into it.

I'm on the 60mbps plan, my download is 63.50mbps. But why are my download speeds great and I can't play any MP games because the teleporting is so bad. Ping is low, high FPS and good computer and still lag in game.

If you have low ping and are still rubber banding it's safe to say the issues are server side.

You might want to check what sort of pings you're getting, make sure it's stable when you're playing, if it is try resetting your router and see if it improves.

Already reset my router and even called my ISP to have them reset it on their end. I've joined servers from a range of 20 ping to 140 ping and all the servers I've tried has lagged.

If it's every server and every game then it could be a router setting, the only time I've seen rubberbanding with a low ping is when it affects the other players on the server as well and that's a server issue. Check the forums for that particular game and see if the servers have any issues at the moment.

I've tried Red Orchestra 2, Conan Exiles, Battlefield 1 & Rising Storm Vietnam; all those games have lagged the same way.

MP games are dependent on latency not maximum bandwidth

You an have a 1gbps but get 'rubber banding' due to the fact that your latency to the server is 100ms

You can have 128kbps connection but have great MP experince because your latency is only 1ms

Functionally you'll have to look at your latency to the servers, usually what happens is that your router NAT table is getting full or your router might be just be underpowered especially if its doing any kind of traffic filtering/monitoring too. the increased speed means it needs to do more work, which the paltry asic on consumer routers can't keep up with

Router upgrade? I always thought ISPs gave one to you as soon as you increase speed if the old router is too slow for that speed. I got an upgrade when I increased speed as my old router was too slow.

I mean kinda depends on the ISP. Myself I actively bypass the ISP based routers since they're generally garbage

If the OP is only upgrading from 10-60mps id think a cable modem/router upgrade wouldnt be needed. its probalby just a flip of a bit somewhere and you get 60mps. ITs only when you start crosisng specific thresholds like DOCSIS 3.0 -> 3.1 or such where there might be a theoretical bandwidth cap to get to the next level. But a 10-60mps jump wouldnt require that

Thank you for the knowledge. And yeah, the modem/router combo I'm rocking is the N600-C3700, had it going on 2 or 3 years now, works great and is rated for 300mbps.

That should be sufficiet its a docsis3.0 modem

I might give it a reboot as a first step

Otherwise try hard resetting it

Already rebooted it on my end and the ISP's end. Would hard resetting mess it up even more possibly? Like I said, I'm not good with internet/networking.

A hard reset sets it back to the factory settings, if you haven't changed many options on the router, which judging by your comment you haven't, then a hard reset might work.

Would a hard reset mess with it working with my ISP?

No, you will have to enter any details you were given by the ISP when you first got the router.

Yeah, they've never given me any details; they'll love coming out here and charging extra fees for messing with my modem, lol.

Well it's your choice, it's not working now so you can't really break it.

Well I can actually download and do everything else a person can do with internet, just very laggy in MP games is my only problem.

Enable net graph in counter strike source. To look for packet loss and ping.

I reinstalled Windows 10 and wiped all of my storage devices. I am no longer rubberbanding.
