Is 12mbps a good connection?

How fast is your internet?

What is a great speed for gaming?

gaming depends on ping, not how much bandwidth you have since there is more than enough bandwidth for any game these days. I have 25/25 and I stream my game play in 720p personally.

I have 10mbps and I do handsomely... SuperSFIV knows of no lag (I'm in Israel, most of the people I play are at least 2000km away) and I can stream 1080p videos... sounds good enough? ;)

I currently have '10mbps' but because it is ADSL it fluctuates between 5-8mbps. I am however soon to upgrade to 100mbps fibre-optic which means very stable connection.

As for gaming it is generally usable but a bit laggy due to my big often being as high as 100.
