yup it should be decent for yah. A few friends of mine have a 1.5 mbs connection and they havnt had any problems. I myself have a 5mbs connection
upgrade your package to at least 3 meg with your service provider ( If you can ) Bell Canada had a sweet promotion for an upgrade from 3 meg to 5 meg that I took and don't regret it at all, I am paying $ 25.99 per month* ( CDN ) solid connection and I honestly cannot remember having any down time.... *promotion in conjunction between Bell Canada and the company I work for
I'm getting ripped off, $45 a month for 3 meg that they say has been increased. Good thing i'm switching to a 10+ meg connection next week and at the same price.
i tryed it again and i got 2.6 and 2.5 megabits per second. Its weird how now its better if its true. I pay 55 a month for it.
When I had DSL 1.5Mbps it sucked. I've had Comcast highspeed for about 2 years now and I'm getting 7Mbps and it blazes. If you have DSL I'd suggest changing over to cable.
thats your download so it should be fine but if ur hosting a game i dunno what your upload is it might lag if u host games if ur upload isn't high. i got 6megs down and 800k upload works beatifully so dunno what will be a good upload speed.
Down 8105 / Up 3866 Kinda slow today, there is a camp in my building.... [edit]Yes that is in kilobits/sec, and it is a T-1, normally shared with 200-400 students. Fortunately, by the time school starts we will have gigabit fiber installed [/edit]
just went from a so called 3 meg service (dsl) to cable net yesterday (just came in the area) i get 6 megs from them..hopped on live and its like i got live for the first time..cant believe the diff in speed..i was paying 39 for dsl and now i'm still paying 39 for cable..well worth the change!!
I have DSL 3.0 Mbps and I will update to 6.0 Mbps when it is available here. Some areas have this mbps, so I am waiting on mine. I was not impressed with cable because it causes online gaming lag and too much latency unless I get Comcast or Roadrunner. It would be different, but I don't have that.
I have adelphia I believe it is the 1.5mbps. Those of you who have played against sseagle here know how it can be. My roommate is a cheap punk who doesn't like spending money on a faster connection. It sucks.
I have a 6 Mbps down connection through Comcast that I got a hell of a deal on.....I'm only paying $19.99 a month for the first 6 months, then $42.95 thereafter.
I'm interested what could cause only a 1.6 mbs download speed because I got a 5 megabit cable modem. Not seen much lag but it still pisses me off that its that low.
Re: 1.6 Mbs Download ....your Upload speed is just as important as the download speed, what is your upload, cause if it's slow, it will cause lag
