Games are all about ping times, the actual speed required is fairly low. My ADSL connection is only about 16Mb down 800~900kb up and we've had 2 ppl gaming while a download was running fairly successfully, without the download it's very able to handle two simultaneous online gamers without a hitch. Unthrottled torrents on the other hand can hog all the available bandwidth so if someone in the house does that gaming becomes impossible. | dugimodo (138) | ||
