How much do you really need?  I mean I'm not streaming videos while I'm gaming.


I do all the time, wife watches some HD stream on Netflix while I game and/or also watch a seperate Netflix stream and torrent things all at the same time. Hooray for 25mb upstream! But that's why I tested various long distance cities to get an idea of what to expect when playing games on Euro servers or West Coast servers.

For just strictly gaming, you don't need much at all.  I can play WoW or DCUO perfectly fine over a tethered 3G phone connection.  It's when the rest of the house starts using the same connection that having lots of bandwidth really shines.

Yeah you just need to swap out your modem for a DOCSIS 3.0 modem.  You can get them anywhere now.  And then call cox to upgrade to the Ultimate package.  You'll pay a lot but seriously, I downloaded all 3 Matrix movies in HD in 60 minutes.  So nice.

We upgraded mostly because our HTPC is downloading all of the time.  It's annoying to try and get games and stuff downloaded while that's going on.  

We'll try it out a while and see how it goes.

Oh. Okay. I already did upgrade to a DOCSIS 3.0 modem. I think I have the medium tier package, but I'm getting much better speeds than they advertise. Maybe when my money situation gets better, I'll upgrade to the Ultimate plan.

Meh, got all I need at work for the most part; don't do much at home these days. I've seen better pings than that, though. Can upgrade that to 50Mb, but I don't see the point for now. Running on cable here, so have a slight advantage on upgrade possibility.
