May 21, 20251 yr Mods! Please don't kill this topic as it had zero attention in the specific forum!!! Comcast has become hugely expensive here in the US, so I'm thinking about dropping the cable completely and try 5G Home Internet from T-Mobile. MSFS2020 and MSFS2024 are my primary concerns here, so you have MSFS experience with this service , I would really appreciate your opinion.

May 21, 20251 yr Get Starlink Internet. I did a broadband speed test and got a latency time of 0.23ms and a download speed of 320Mbps. Two years of trouble free service. At the moment you get all the hardware for free!

May 21, 20251 yr The speeds would be fine but the latency would probably be too high. Can you run latency test using a phone from your house? 9950X3D, PNY 5090, 64GB DDR5 6000, MSI X870-P, GIGABYTE AORUS Gen5 2TB NVMe, 3440x1440 AW3423DW gsync ultimate.

I just ran Speedtest on my AT&T phone here in Northern Virginia (heavy overcast today) and ping is 37ms. Separate icon on Speetest says that it's red (i.e. bad) for online gaming. I don't know if T-Mobile Internet would be any better. They may give you equipment for 15 days for testing. I think I'd stick with this offer and then we'll see. 9950X3D, X870E ROG CROSSHAIR HERO, Corsair Dominator Titanium 64GB DDR5-6000 PC5-48000, ASUS RTX 5070Ti 16GB, 9100 PRO 4TB Samsung ,990 PRO 4TB Samsung, AX1600i 1600 Watt 80 Plus Titanium ATX, ASUS 360 ARGB EXTREME 360mm Liquid CPU Cooling Kit.
May 21, 20251 yr Author It sucks, as Comcast cheapest plan with reasonable speed in this area is about $180 per month. And since it's a package, you cannot get rid of TV and ground line. 9950X3D, X870E ROG CROSSHAIR HERO, Corsair Dominator Titanium 64GB DDR5-6000 PC5-48000, ASUS RTX 5070Ti 16GB, 9100 PRO 4TB Samsung ,990 PRO 4TB Samsung, AX1600i 1600 Watt 80 Plus Titanium ATX, ASUS 360 ARGB EXTREME 360mm Liquid CPU Cooling Kit.

May 21, 20251 yr In Ireland, fibre broadband is €40/month, mobile data is €20 for sim-only plans. T-Mobile is horrenderously priced in U.S. Not sure why this is the case.
