Ok I'm not huge on the networking/internet thing.
I'm currently on Pipex 2MB(upgraded from 512k) ADSL. I have been using the same green flat fish looking alcatel speedtouch modem in all the time I have had it (about 3 years)
I get the impression although there wouldn't be a significant improvements I might be better off buying a better modem.
I recently read the following.
"PCI ADSL Modem
The cheapest way to get online with prices below £40. Requires knowledge of how to install into your computer, and is frequently referred to as an "internal" device. PCI modems deliver the best response times (gamers take note!) but also consume CPU cycles to operate."
That was over at ADSL guide our friendly website
Now I'm a bit of a online gamer I'm sure many on here are. Do a lot of you use PCI? and would you recomend it over a router/better cable modem?
If you could make suggestions that would help a lot.
Thanks,
Majik
