SatNoob Posted May 21, 2005 CID Share Posted May 21, 2005 I'm kind of concerned about something that I didn't realize would be a problem at first. I just ordered wireless internet thats 768k downloand and 768k upload. It averages 90K both ways and never dips below according to the few customers I've spoke to so far. I realize that's not as fast as most of you folks but I thought it would be a great upgrade from Satellite and my main reason to switch over to wireless was in hopes of satisfactory game play online for those twitch FPS games where you need a sub 80ms ping to compete. I've now been told by quite a few people that it won't be fast enough to play FPS online games? They were telling me I need atleast twice that fast?? I know you guys will know because theres a lot of real guru's here and I'm not sure I was informed correctly.. Atleast I sure hope not. If anyone can enlighten me on this I would really appreciate it. I know it's a very simpleton question but I really no have no idea and I'm concerned now. So thanks for your help.

xs1 Posted May 22, 2005 CID Share Posted May 22, 2005 For most online games, anything at or above a basic dsl connection will do just fine. ( Connection wise ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorne Posted May 22, 2005 CID Share Posted May 22, 2005 Most of the FPS games like Doom and BF1942 use about 10 KB/sec. RPG games usually use less about 1-4 KB/sec. You will be fine, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
