Good connection speed for gaming.

I'm with Be with fastpath/'gaming mode' enabled and it's brilliant - sync at about 14meg down and 1 up.

Tend to play on european servers as QuakeWorld is mostly northern europe based and here are some tracerts!

Virgin won't install you with cable because it's a new build, it's rare that a developer will arrange for ducting etc to be put in so it's BT/LLU only. I've just jumped ship from Virgin 50mbit to Sky LLU, so far they've been reasonable, it's obviously not going to win in a speed test but as a combined package free movies for 2 months, £100 M&S voucher and £135 cash back and only £10 to install the lot has made it worth while.

Thats what I have gone with.

Hopefully I wont have any issues with it but I can always change it in 2 years time...

Thanks for the feedback.
