I think I still have my LAN adapter which I used to use for my Wii. I should probably look for it later on. Though later on would probably mean a couple of months.
Ah, good to know. Wasn't sure since Smash for 3DS seems like it will be asking for a bit more in bandwidth.

Our internet sucks in MS. Tested my work and it was 5 mbps. Think my home is around the same. I really want to move to somewhere that has Fiber Optic and not Cable.

awwww yissss
The fuck
You should be able to get much faster than that, even with cable... but that'd all depend on your ISP.
Just finished beating Classic Mode with every character. That took care of a nice chunk of custom moves (I now have all customs for Ganondorf, DK, Wii Fit Trainer, and Duck Hunt) as well as brought me up to 480 trophies. Debating if I wanna try to clear all-star with everybody, try to clear the checklists, or try to unlock all customs next.
Also, to throw it out there, Pingtest is better for measuring your connection for gaming than Speedtest. It specifically measures the quality if your connection, ping, and jitter.
"Some online games may not perform optimally"
Same :/
Edit: I'm actually surprised it went all the way to Monterrey when Mexico City has way better host/servers.

The other Canada was in MB, not Mb. 1 MB is 8 MbSeems that the 80% stat is off.
That's, uh... slightly better.
EDIT: That's not mine BTW, it's an online friend's work connection.

Thought I was going crazy cause I knew about that site, but couldn't remember the name.
Here's mine
Works for me!

why is my rating barely higher than yours despite the much lower ping
You could offer to pay for an upgrade if you are the one who wants it.
Mine's the worst one here.
Home connection. Absolute balls and the homeowner refuses to upgrade it.
My mobile 4G is 53ms Ping, 9.6Mbp/s Download, 9.77Mbp/s Upload.
If I must, will use 4G for Smash.

Ohok
Some online game may not perform optimally. They've been working well enough so far so I'm not worried lol.
I've learnt to play the waiting game.
Surprisingly it has worked ok with games with good netcode (even some fighting games like BlazBlue/P4A was ok/good to play a lot of times) but its not always... not always :/
Will be changing countries soon but I hope Smash 3DS doesn't lag too much for me in the meantime.
And I believe it!

Might be because of the packet loss test. Halfway considering installing Java to see if that would improve mine since the MOS scale says <50 ping with no packet loss should get an A.

Even with my F+ grade connection, I can play online games just fine. I wouldn't worry too much.

Pretty good
Okay let's not do anything irrational here man.
Yeah, same here. I usually play at night (really late lol) so my entire bandwidth is basically console exclusive

I never can trust SpeedTest due to how unstable it is with my connection (goes from 12mb/s to 75+mb/s to 16mb/s) and how the server quality varies greatly. I don't imagine PingTest being much better in this regard, but I feel like it will probably give a more accurate picture.
I live in Toronto.
EDIT: Wait, I'm so dumb. It is cause we don't have packet loss tracking enabled.

Cause it takes distance into account.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH. Thank you for actually catching that. Hahaha, we are so silly guys.
Anyways, here's my Ping Test:
Yep. B*, 20ms ping, 3ms jitter.

Pretty much. 30 upload and 10 download is a pretty ideal connection.
That being said, I can play Mario Kart 8 flawless most of the time. If Smash 3DS has issues online, it is because of coding issues. Much the same way Mario Kart Wii ran fine for me and Brawl had slideshow matches.

Ping my man, that's what matters. That's why I suggested people use Pingtest to check their connections instead of Speedtest, more relevant results for online gaming (packet loss, ping, jitter).

I actually like that this thread has whittled down to "muh internet speed" conversations. It's interesting, lol.
awwww yissss
Jesus Fuck.
Lol for some reason, I get decent ping to a server in Atlanta, but ~80-100 ping to servers in my state.
Ehh, I don't know. Fighting games online is a pretty bad experience for me and I have an "F+ connection" (6 Mb down/0.75 Mb up).

Should be OK, right?
I got 28ms ping, how's that? Lol

As in "Heathcliff"
What? Why would they not selling it anymore after advertising it in Smash Direct?
28ms ping, is that good?

How far away is the server?
Welp, Nintendo has forced my hand. I don't own a 3DS, and my original intent was to grab an XL in time for Smash's launch...but with the New 3DS on the horizon, spending $200 on a handheld when its pseudo-successor is on the way seemed a tad silly. However, my desire to play this was too great to wait an additional 4-6 months before I could play it...so I ended up grabbing a 2DS for pretty cheap ($60). That's low enough that I won't hate myself for buying the New 3DS next year.
It did the one in Atlanta
Behold! The perils of Australian internet!
Holy shit at some of these speeds though.
I'll see your Australia and raise you one shitty mountain town connection.
