    Default living with lag - an oculus rift experiment

    You wouldn't accept lag offline, so why do it online? ume.net, a fiber broadband provider that offers up to 1000 Mbit/s, performed an experiment. Four volunteers got to experience internet's biggest disturbance in real life - lag.

    If nature always takes the easiest route, what's easier...?
    The creation of billions of galaxies each containing trillions of stars each with their own solar systems, some with planets that have evolved civilisations with billions of different life forms. OR The creation of just your imagination?

    Funny video... and the picture too.

    Although 1000mbps Internet wouldn't fix Lag... can't control the points beyond your connection and the server. Plus you could be gaming directly on a BF4 server and still get Lag and rubber banding

    Yeah very nice commercial. But I agree with dpSparhawk the 1000 Mbit/s will not fix any online Lag maybe the offline one ;o).

    They do a thing on Radio one where they put headphones on someone but with a very tiny delay and it totally messes up the persons speech, its strange who such a small delay can cause such issues.
