| I am switching to FIOS today.
I am hesitating between their regular internet speed (Download up to 15 Mbps / Upload up to 5 Mbps) and their faster service (Download up to 25 Mbps / Upload up to 25 Mbps) for $10 more a month - their fastest 50Mbps service is out of my reaCH.
Does this make a difference for gaming?
Thanks in advance for trhe input. | |

| No difference to play bf2.
I am using 2mb download and 256k upload.
Big download speeds are needed if you normally download big files or share your internet connection. | |

| Yes ONLY if your computor is faster than the conection....sort of.
The conetion is the base of fast it goes,but if your computors netcard is slow it wont get faster than the weekest link.
Hop my explanation works .....im not good at that. LOL |

| Just remember that your latency and ping is what counts in games vs speeds.
FIOS should be good for even their basic package. I think you will be happy. | |

| I have 10mb cable. My ping is anywhere between 80-90ms, because I am in AL and the server is on the West Coast. The lower your latency, the better. The more bandwidth you have the faster your downloads will be. Your location to the server will affect it more than your connection speed. | |
