What Connection Type and Modems.Routers do you have ?

Alright guys list your speeds connection types, modems,routers,

i have just preordered my PIPEX Xtreme ADSL 1MEG DOWN 256k UP Unlimited Bandwith! Connection for the 25th or November thats when our EXCHANGE gets Turned on

the Modem Im Getting is FREE FROM PIPEX including 2 MICRO Filters.
IP is Dynamic but the connection is always ON only when you dissconect and reconnect within seconds does the IP change

Speed is is HIGH : 25 Meg in less than a Minute

http://www.solo.pipex.net/

Here is the Modem im getting i dont know if its a good one someone will have to tell me.



The SpeedTouch 330 ADSL modem At A Glance
Up to 2 Mbps downstream, 1 Mbps upstream (depending on the DSL service you've chosen)
Supports Windows 98, 98 SE, 2000, ME and XP; Mac OS 8.6, 9.0 and X (excluding versions 10.2 and 10.3); Linux

================================================

can anyone also tell me if this is a good provider and also if 256k Upload is fast enough for flawless ONLINE gameing ? or does online gameing use the DOwnload Bandwith as that would be ample enough shurely ?

ok guys its you turn post your info`s

I think 256k upload is good for online gaming, since games usually depend more on your download speeds...

I used to have DSL with 256kbps uploads, and it ran all my games perfecty online! (one of them was the Final Fantasy XI online beta)

Good lucK- some USB modems don't like some chipsets - bog-standard VIA chipset (USB 1.1) being about the most problematic.

Cable, 300k down, 128k up, to PCI Ethernet card direct from the set top box that does TV and broadband (try to use interactive as well, and it crashes - NTL, if you hadn't already guessed)
