But if you live in an area with a good connection things should move faster.
Sorry mate but your talking absolutely CRAP! Speed has nothing to do with online gaming it is to do with the latency/delay between you and the server. NTLââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s network has a much less delay than BT with almost 1/2 the latency.



I had ADSL with about 5 different providers and used probably one of the fastest networks in the UK for ADSL (Mistral.co.uk) with a 2mbps line and the best I got was about 30ms. With NTL cable I get a latency of around 10-15ms.
