My Internet speed is great for gaming, always at astounding speeds.



Mine is rated for 10mbps max, but it can't maintain a steady 5mbps to watch live streaming video.
Downloads from steam are usually between 2 and 4mbps. (I'm glad I bought the boxed copy of the Witcher 2, downloading 2 9gb patches on top of a 14gb game, no thanks)
Upload speed is crap, upto 512kbps, it takes forever to upload a hd video to you tube and Skype is always complaining that my connection is too slow.

Yet I never have any problem with gaming. Only lbp 1 had issues now and then.

25D/7U is my speed, it handles pretty much everything assuming I don't do something like keep utorrent on full settings and try to play games. Typically 10D/5U will be great for gaming. However you need to look at ping more importantly.

That's a lot, I went back to AT&T website, it has 18 mb for around 40 and 24 mb for 50 dollars.

I thought we Canadians just had it horrible, but American rates are pretty bad it would seem. 



 



It does for me, never have any problems playing Xbox Live and net at same time



 

i am running at 54 mbps with verizon dsl. comcast can get up to 100 mbps. anywhere from 10 mbps and up should be sufficient for most games.
