DSL users please help!!!

[Dragon]

OK first the web site and now I am getting it to something else that I know very little about....DSL. This is what I need your help with. I would like to know what is a good conection speed for gaming. These are my options.

Inbound Speed 608
Outbound Speed 128

Inbound Speed 144
Outbound Speed 144

Inbound Speed 384
Outbound Speed 128

OK so I know that Faster is better but with IS 608 and OS 128 will games play online well and what about serving a game? Does anybody have this speed and if so what is your ping when you play online. Thanks for your help. /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif,

Sadly

None of those options are ideal for a server. And from what i can tell, you must be out of distance for standard DSL (ie, more than 4 or 5 miles from the CO). So, if you wanted to run a server i would just get the 608 / 128, because 14kps extra isnt really worth it when you can have such a download.

If i was you, i would look into getting cable. Though not at all as stable or reliable as DSL(no serving on standard cable /infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif ). It is better by price, speed of up to 1.544 mbps d/l (T1 Speed), and 196 kps upstream. Of course the 196 up kinda bites, but it shouldnt effect you since you can't run a decent server on it anyway.
