Hello! I recently went to pro pacakage on att/sbc. I have noticed my ping has been wayy low. Liking it so far. Reccomend it for folks out there, but if you have the chance to go with T1 then do it.

Is it a question ? you should change your graphic card and your ram .... it's better than a new connection

Yeah, that's not really true. I had one of the fastest connections out of everyone in my guild and I still loaded last. Added more RAM and boom. First to load.

You have a dedicated T1 built to your home?

Well, obviously, with an online game, if you get a faster connection your ping will decrease (how drastically depends on the increase of speed and your system)

In this day and age Internet connection speed has litterly no affect on the quality of ping/latency or routing, that all has to do with the ISP itself. Usually when purchasing higher speed packages from ISP's results in better latency/routing because well you are paying up the ass for it, although as said above, it isn't always the case.

maybe if u got from dialup to broadband u will notice some difference
but otherwise i realy doubt it, unless ur ISP was junk

i myself have a 100mbit connection, and i know my guildies load faster then me
because they have faster rigs then me
i guess that if u are like me, down/uploading stuff while ur playing i guess it can help ur ping if u got alot of bandwith
but otherwise not realy

T1 is nice but impractical for most
