But ive had one meg almost 2yrs and gamings not much fun anymore.
You can have a 10mbit connection, but if your pings bad, forget it.
In fact an NTL employee told me last week on the phone, i would be better off on 750, he said the ping would be probably be as bad, but i would save money.
Fair comment.  |
Complete rubbish, I am a NTL'er (1.5Meg ..finally :p) and I ping 15-30 on all the CS, UT2k4, Halo, and in fact any UK server I go on, As paulyoung666, its down to personal experience, and frankly, my NTL couldnt be any more perfect for me, 100% dl speed, all of the time, stable pings, very decent browsng speed, it's all good. Of course not everyone has such luck, but not everyone has it bad either, I have the oppertunity to change in december (BT BB enable my exchange) But I dont see the need any more.
Back on topic, 750K would feel a lot faster for you MR
pop80_uk, especially for downloading, btw, if you are looking for downloads, (LEGALLY :P) look no further than Broadband Plus, either £3.99 (or £9.95 with napster, which incidentally is the same price as napsters' sub price itself), and has many downloads of games, music, as well as music videos, educational stuff, and more (No I am not an NTL salesman, But I do like a decent deal hehehe), however, it only works on 600/750k or above.
I would say, that if you are want to use the internet to download, and to get some music, or games from the web, then 750K is for you, If you only browse, then 300K is well enough, tbh £7 pm more is nothing though, couple of pints, or over 100% of your internet speed?
