Hello
In a few months, I'm moving to a new house.
I was wondering if I should keep my cable connection or switch over to a cheaper ADSL connection. Would the download speed matter to the quality of gaming?
Here are the details:

Cable
42 €/month
max D/L: 4 Mbps
max upload: 128 Kbps

ADSL
35€/month
max D/L: 750 Kbps
max upload: 128 kbs

Thx

ADSL will be fine for the X-Box but I think I would miss the extra speed on the PC if thats where your using it on now. And for 7€, I personally would go with cable if I could.

Go with the cable modem. For that little of a price difference and that HUGE of a difference in download speeds it would be worth the extra 7 pounds a month. As mentioned in the previous post if nothing else it would be well worth it for your PC (especially if you download movies).
