Hi All
As a regular gamer on Xbox 360 I have been debating to change my ISP. I'm currently with Sky who provide me with a poor 4mb connection D/L and 0.5mb upload. I mainly play Gears of War 2 and am finding my connection to be so poor when I come up against other gamers who claim to have 30, 40, 50 mb connections etc. So my questions are.....is it really worth changing to another provider? and does a high upload speed make a significant difference when gaming? Ping etc?
If the answers are to change provider. Are BT Infinity a safe option as its mainly for gaming I will be changing for, I don't download or stream much, just gaming. Virgin Media are not in my area so that rules them out. Or would I be best to wait til Sky launch their Fibre optic Broadband? Surely BT would be a better option than Sky though.
Any thoughts/opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks in advance.
