Hey guys,
Well after all the going on with AOL were looking into a new ISP. After opening up the paper i saw a great one Sky Broadband. Ive had a test done and because we live in a fairly remote area the exchange wont handle the highest 16mb that has no bandwidth cap (which i expected). The one we can get and that would suit us is the package that provides us with 8MB, but however is caped art 40gb a month. This got me thinking, would you say 40gb a month was adequate. We use the interent a fair bit for things like homework help, msn, music downloads. But the major one is gaming, i like to play Counter STRIKE: Condition Zero whenever im in the mood, id say a bout an hour a day. Would gaming take up alot of bandwidth or does it use hardly anyway. Your views would be really APPRECIATED, thanks.


ChrisGaming does not take up that much bandwidth , do you need a low latency line if you want to be able to Kill any one , In my experience Ive found Cable is the Best Then ADSL Then Dial Up then Satellite

Is the Sky a Satellite Service or by wire? if its Satellite don't even think about playing games on it.

My ADSL Suck its only one Meg and i get Mad Lag if two of use at home try to play game's. but there are reasons for this that have nother to do with the Connection, its more user Error...Heheh, yea sky are the POEPLE who broadcast their programs via satalite, but with the broadband it is via a telephone line. Also what you said about satalite there was this guy on CZ about a month AGO and he was on a PLANE and playing the game!! I thought THAT was COOL!
Are you saying the 40gb would be ok if im playing my game?!?!

ChrisYes 30 Gb amount will be fine for Gaming , if you decide to become a pirate you may fine it a bit restrictiveMeh screw it then, thanks anyway buddy thats been a GREAT help.
