350 KB/s is quick? On this connection it takes upwards of 6+ hours to download about 8 GB while on a 2MB+ connection it takes less than an hour and half. Assuming I have I have issues with steam (which I most likely will) I don't want to wait 6+ hours to redownload a game to see if something was fixed or not. But than Texas will be stuck in the stone age (56K+ speeds) for decades [/opinion]

What of using ethernet cable (cat6?). Here's a irony (to me) this current computer gets about 350 KB/s through wifi. Yet a laptop I have that does support up to 1000mbps can get up to a meg on our wifi. As for the personal router I'd just buy a router and set it up? I will be downloading a lot of digtal games (from steam) - upwards of or more than 250 GB - on the current speed I get that'd take about 2 weeks - I'd like it (if possible) to take less time than that - though I'd think that'd be impossible short of Texas getting decent speeds throughout the entire state.

I will sometime in the next few months (I hope) to get a computer - that will have this motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128549&Tpk=N82E16813128549 The interesting thing of the board is that it has dual LAN ports (Dual 10/100/1000Mbps) along with: WiFi IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n. We at the moment have a ISP router - AT&T that only supports B/G, while the wifi of my next computer will support N. I REALLY doubt it but could I get my own small private (?) router that does support Wireless N that I myself could use for the few devices that could really (I'd think) use the speed? note to mods: The first topic I posted, ignore

If I'm nost mistaken Windows 8 will be able to tell you how much bandwidth your using.
