Will it make a difference on what speed you ADSL connection is when using 2 machines playing at the same time.

ie: Will the lag be less on a1024K line than on a 512K line.

Does line speed make a difference? I see some people playing with a ping of 20 or less on local servers while I never get close to that. I am using a 512K line at the moment with cables connecting the 2 machines to the ADSL modem/router.
 
When I had a 4mg line my lag in CS was ~20ms, with a 384 kb line my lag is ~50ms.

So there is a difference. But not always though, especially with international.
 
you are going to have lag,the game needs to connect to an international server first before going to the local one (atleast the stats)
 
I m running 2 Pc's on a 512 line from past 1 years and not even faced a single problem .
