Your router is Air Traffic Control (ATC.) Information arriving at your PC is download speed. Information departing from your PC is upload speed. Every time you jump, shoot, grab a bounty, complete a bounty, etc., your PC has to “inform” Bungie’s servers that your account is requesting to perform an action… then it has to wait on the server to respond. Think about it like this - every single thing you do in Destiny 2 (and I do mean damn near everything) has to be relayed to servers Bungie has in place for whatever specific action you’re performing. I have absolutely no idea why I wrote all that just to tell you that your upload speed could actually be a problem… but, yes, it could actually be the problem. (Don’t even get me started on the jitter and/or latency differences…) This is not even comparable to a newly-ran Fiber-to-the-Home connection, utilizing new software & hardware to meet new standards and offer usually more than 1Gbps (1,000 Mbps) download and 1Gbps upload. The first two are operating on older hardware & standards delivering speeds “up to” 940Mbps down and 35Mbps up. For example, Comcast Xfinity and Charter Spectrum both love to advertise their “1Gbps” connection in comparison to Google Fiber, AT&T Fiber and/or Verizon FIOS as if they’re even remotely similar - much less competitive. For example, ISPs could easily offer you better upload speed using the same exact (existing) hardware all the way from their node to your modem - but if they collaboratively only advertise download speeds then the general population assumes your upload must not be (as) important.ġ5-20 years ago, sure, the general population wasn’t sharing nearly as much multimedia as we do today but, while download speeds have scaled up with our usage, upload speeds haven’t increased at even a fraction of the rate customers should expect & demand. It’s common to assume your upload speed isn’t as relevant as your download speed - and that’s by design.
