Re: I have some questions.

20 meg is absolutely fine for gaming. I use mine all the time. You would only benefit from 50 meg if there are multiple users in your household sharing at the same time as you are playing. Or if you like to self host and want to try a multiple slot server.

However, with cable, although you should get very close to the stated speed, contention of services does seem to be a consistent issue in some areas of the country, and that affects available capacity and speed. Gamers who complain of speed issues are inevitably suffering from contention due to network capacity in their area. You'd probably need to state which part of the country you are in to get a more definitive opinion.
