Hey Guys and Gals,

Im not a computer genius like allot of you guys and gals are. Right now I have a DSL line in my office. This is where I play from mostly. My current download speed is around 3.0 mbps. And my upload speed is about 430 kbps. My new provider Im looking to start with is offering me a T1 where my download and upload speed will be about 1.544 mbps. Im losing on the download, but gaining on the upload. Do you guys think that this will improve or take away from my gaming experience?

LOL, Im very close to Chicago. Im like 20 miles from Chicago. I think my ping was currently around the 40's. I did however from time to time get some lag spikes. Hopefully with the T1, I will not see much lag anymore.

I am set to get this T1 set up next week Wednesday. Cant wait to try it out for the first time!

Thanks for you input on it Overheated.

To add to the point, the speeds listed for either type up or down are well above COD's ceiling for bandwidth usage. Generally, games use AT MOST roughly 100-120 up and down.

Considering your ping before, I don't think there is going to be much upside, but I could be wrong. There will be no downside for gaming, but maybe for big downloads.
