AT&T DSL for gaming?

[appalachian_fox]

As far as cost goes, I don't know about your area but I can't get anything resembling a decent price, plus I pay for installation and a modem, if I don't sign on for a year with DSL. I do get a month to say I don't like it and cancel no-questions-asked if the modem is returned (though I think you eat the installation, I'm not sure). However, with cable here I'm not locked in and can cancel any time.

Currently, my DSL bill is $17/MO for 3Mbps down/416kbps up.

Where's g33k? GEEK! You can afford this!

 

WOW Is that good for gaming?!

 

426 upload is not good at all!

 

Right now I am sitting at 1.1 down, and 850 up.

That sounds like a satellite connection to me!

I play CS:S on 10mbps/256kbps and it's no problem.

Before I moved out of the boonies and back to cleveland, I played CS:S on a 512k/128k dsl connection just fine. Regular ping of 30 on project mayhem and recrud (they were alive at the time ) and generally was stable.

 

It all depends on the companies at your location, so feedback from friends/neighbors would be alot more helpful than someone who uses the same company 100+ miles away

TEH OOB3R LIVES!!!! We missed you!

 

I come out of the shadows to lurk sometimes. I even played UT2K4 for a couple of hours last week. There just hasn't been time for video games with a girlfriend and a job lately.
