But if I go for the capped 10Mb would my son get a lot of benefit or am I likely to be the one losing out - so basically, is a 5-fold speed increase better for on-line gaming?
If you intend doing both at the same time then you may notice alot of lag on the game. If you do them seperately then to be honest you probably won't notice any difference at all. Most on-line games pings aren't drastically altered by an increase from 2M to 10M, if the pings are less than a 100 then 2M would be better as it has [ or will do] cap.
