You might want to aim a little higher if you%26#39;re having 3 computers at once, but for a LAN that doesn%26#39;t play against internet opponents it%26#39;ll be fine so long as you have a good router. It depends on what games, though.[URL=http://www.speedtest.net][IMG]http://www.speedtest.net/result/125440167.png[/IMG][/URL]Internet speeds for online gaming
but are the upload speeds heaps important for games on the net?
[QUOTE=''Cozzie_92''] but are the upload speeds heaps important for games on the net?[/QUOTE]It depends on the game, but in general the answer would be yes.
Previously I had a DSL modem with 1000 or so DL and 100 or so UL. This was enough to play online games with little to no lag (depending on the server and game). I upgraded to cable with 6000DL and 400UL and now it%26#39;s better than ever and I can host games. Note, I couldn%26#39;t host games with 100UL; everyone would lag.
