Hey guys,

I would like to know if anyone uses the 1MB telkom ADSL line to play online PC games? I want to play BF3 and COD MW3, but have no experience with ADSL. I am not too worried about dowload speeds, but latency in 64 player maps.

I will be purchasing the do advanced broadband bundle. I live in Northwold, Randburg.

Thanks guys
 
1MB adsl will be fine provided that you get a proper ADSL ISP with preferably a capped account. Uncapped accounts seam nice in principle but they generally provide bad gaming experiences.

I use to game forever on 384 and the only game I ever found which didn't work properly on 384kbps was Minecraft's multiplayer.
 
Just a question regarding the uncapped accounts... Do you think if you get unshaped uncapped that you will still experience bad latency?

Dont let telkom be your isp rather get data from afri host :)

I am a proud afri gamer all the way no hassles stay in Bloem also with a 1mb line Battlefield 3 ping averages 11-17
 
I wanted to go Afrihost, but was advised to rather go with Telkom as all my buddies here have had issues with Afrihost before :(
 
You probably will not see significant latency on any adsl product if you are playing on a server hosted localy in ZA...even on a 384kb account. There is one caveat which some ISP's dont peer with Telkom which means that the rouer to servers from some account will be very roundabout. I think the main one (I stand to be corrected) is MWEB not peering with Telkom (coz Telkom are gits).
 
Thanks guys, I will provide feedback as soon as the line is up. Next week Tuesday :)
