It's more then enough. Good old times when you could play CS beta 4 with just a 56K6 modem :roll: |

Ping is the thing ... as Doug and Paradigm Shifter say ... Do a ping to Google ... from what I understand of it all you really need the average to be about 37ms in order to have good online gaming ... whatever the connection speed. I have a 3MB connection but my ping is bad as my connection is wireless so online gaming is a no go for me ... the interruptions are too annoying.

Anything <100 used to be considered playable in the days of 56k modems. But <40 was considered ideal. |
