Hello, I would like to say that I am extremely concerned on Roblox's outrageous bandwidth usage. When you join a game, the client sends and receives an innumerate amount of heavy traffic data, this makes the game laggy, and unfortunate for those who have a confined web traffic.
My internet speed is actually 1mbps (1000kbps), which should be the average to decently play a multiplayer game. However, it seems that this is not enough to play Roblox. I have done a test in my neighbor's house, and the required connection speed to play Roblox on it's max potential, you need a godly 4.5 mbps connection, that is, 4500kbps.

Has anyone else experienced these problems?
If the Roblox developer team is reading this, please take this post into consideration.

I have the same problem. I run at 1.5 Mpbs, along with a lot of jitter... Don't get AT&T.

I have 1 mbps and I don't have a problem.

ROBLOX seems to rely on the CPU for me.

If you can, try an Intel 2.3 Ghz Core 2 Duo with 5 GB of RAM (For Mac OS X or 2 GB of RAM for Windows XP) I haven't tested Windows Vista or 7.

Why do you have 1 MBPS? That's realy low. Switch to another service provider. I get 20 MBPS and it's decently cheap.

For some reason, mate, I seriously doubt that. That's 1024 MBPS.

I know right. It just checks your computer speed. :P
-------------------------------------
I rather get Zone Alarm, or Spybot to track down your systems viruses. I would recumend you to pick both, just incase one is down. This will speed up your computer a little bit.

Uhh.... I'm able to run ROBLOX with only about 2.5 and it runs perfect. It would be because of the amount of loading your computer is having to do with the amount of items in the game you're trying to play. Like let's say there's a place with over 3000 bricks and it destroys your computer run time. That's because the bricks aren't grouped together causing more loading for the game and destroying your banwith.

Task manager's networking tab only tells you the high speed of the ethernet cable your using -_-. On my friends house were she only has a 1.00 Mpbs connections and a really good ethernet cable it says she's getting 1000Mpbs speed. Well she's not!

Your level of comprehension is so low.
You are not able to tell the difference of Bandwidth and Computer Specifications. Neither you are able to tell the difference between Internet Speed and LAN Speed.

You completely dodged my point.

What I am saying is, Roblox uses an outrageous amount of unnecessary data, this makes the use of your internet extremely extensive, and will dynamically increase as you play the game.

You also seem to be enclosed in a world that you call United States.
Did you know that there are other continents and countries?
