Title: Need some tips on which internet plan to get..
Post by: Marked_One on May 04, 2011, 10:35:18 am

So right now I'm getting rid of my sprint broadband connection after using it for quite sometime with decent results.... So this two services are currently the best ones on where i live And I can't decide on which one to get :mrgreen:.. Which one do you guys think offer the best value for your buck??


ISP A: cheapest price they offered me is 37bucks for a 8megs connection.. No contracts.. 100gigs bandwith limit..

ISP B: almost same price as ISP A on a 7megs connection... No bandwitdh limit.. But you gotta stick with them for a year :(.. Also a DSL connection :(?!?!

So how much bandwidth you guys eat up by playing online games alone each month??? I'm leaning towards ISP B since I don't like contracts.. If its a DSl connection, its a no go for me since our home phone is heavily used :mrgreen:

hehe any tips are greatly appreciated...

There are still ISPs that use bandwidth limits?  :shock:
Must be 6-7 years since we got rid of those here..

Download speed hardly matters in gaming. (Depends on what... games you play I guess?)
All you need is a good ping and unlimited bandwidth, cRPG takes up a lot of that.

Those both seem like horrible plans. But it depends on your situation. Will you be there for another year? Can you pay for it for another year? I'd rather have unlimited bandwidth.
