Is there a minimum or recommended latency requirement for Stadia to work well at 1080p or 4k resolutions? Latency on 4G is around 30-50ms (in the UK), would that be enough for stable/fluid gameplay?
I have a 50mbps VDSL connection and the latency is pretty low (8-10ms), connected via Wi-fi at close range. What I'm wondering is, should I upgrade to a possible speed of 90-100mbps with a 4G router, or stick with a fixed line 50mbps connection?
I suppose another factor here is how close the nearest Google data centre is to where I live. Is there a way to find the location of this?
EDIT - there is one in London, according to this:

@cbdeakin There isn't any specifics on latency on the Stadia help center but it does specify "a reliable internet connection (10 Mbps or greater is recommended)". You already know lower latency is better so wouldn't recommend playing on a cellular connection but your mileage may vary I guess.
My opinion is your ping is going to be more important to your experience than raw speed here.
Stadia over 4G router ( Three UK) on Chromecast Ultra or Galaxy S10 is not working for me...
.
Is lagging with degraded visual quality every 10-20 seconds. Even on 1080!
Download 50 Mbps/ Upload 30Mbs/ Ping 40-50 ![]()
I've tried all the suggestions from Stadia help with no luck.
So...
Is anyone playing over 4G router? I
s the ping to big for Stadia?
Any suggestions welcome!
Tks
It’s pretty lame. I have Three 4g broadband and 2.4ghz or even 5ghz makes no difference despite speed tests on a ton of apps showing that the speed is decent, even on the stadia tool it shows it’s fine. Yet, games play choppy, pixelated unresponsive. I’ve even tried Ethernet still no good. Tried to prioritise the traffic to but nope. Really great concept but the broadband infrastructure needs to improve greatly to accommodate reliable gameplay. If only BT didn’t stand around laughing at Videotron/Cable and wireless/NTL/Virgin when theywere laying F.O back in the 90s there’d have been decent infrastructure
