This thread is quite pointless. Games usually only consume less than 300kbps of bandwidth. It's only the stability of the connection will affect the quality.

yup they will be other factors which could affect the gameplay or connection stabilty.

Also, at least can learn something from your post. If i dont get you wrongly, consume less than 300 kbps means streamyx lowest package (384 kbps) is good enough.

It may seem pointless but I believe its not completely pointless.
eg. if playing with dial up can support, a lot of people can easily join.
if only suitable at 20 mb, its gonna be an obstacle for a lot of people

Folks need to learn bandwidth has very little to do with how smooth gaming will be.

Latency is not the same as speed.

As moonflow said, stability (do you get disconnected all the time?), quality (how much signal loss you have? How many packet lost?) and architecture (how many hops to destination?) are what is important.

Does streamyx even have 20Mbs for non-business line?

ic!
streamyx haf something called unifi which have 5,10,20 mbps at selected locations. And at those selected locations, some locations are only for business only
