Posted December 27, 200519 yr My ISP wants 14.95 to take me from 4MB Down/512kps up to 9 MB down/1MB up Is it worth the extra $15 bucks?
December 27, 200519 yr Yes I have a 20 meg down 2 meg up line for $75 Canadian funds a month. I download movies on dc++ in less than ten minutes
December 27, 200519 yr My ISP wants 14.95 to take me from 4MB Down/512kps up to 9 MB down/1MB up Is it worth the extra $15 bucks? Wow. 4MB down/512Kps up is even faster than my connection. What kind of connection do you have? (I got cable modem.)
December 27, 200519 yr For gaming? It doesn't matter that much. Bandwidth isn't too important after 2-3mb down, and more bandwidth won't change the latency you already have. It would be worth it on 2 conditions... 1) do you download often and/or need faster uploads (running some sort of server from home, sending large files to the game server/website) or 2) is your current internet connection cost low enough that adding another $15 won't "break the bank" Personally, I'd do it, especially if I could switch to one of those internet phone companies and drop the local and long distance telephone companies.. that would more than make up for the extra internet costs.
December 27, 200519 yr I don't see the worth at all. If they could Half your ping with that upgrade (impossible atm). Yes. All they are doing is increasing bandwidth. You have plenty for what you do. Unless you want the increased Upload.
