If you guys at least have 768k down and 384 up, you're doing OK in my opinion.

Don't any of those ISP's over there give you any decent upload? Upload is more important than download if you game online.

PS. 19 down is great though.

Not if some of you guys are pulling in 19 mb download speeds. THats plenty fast and up with most of what you can get in the US. Thats faster than my fiber line right now. Of course, I have the option of cranking up to 25 down / 15 up without breaking the bank, but still, 19 is not that far off that number.

True.....the u/l bit, and to add insult to injury they cap you if you d/l too much.....ask kratos

In their Terms and Conditions they state there is no limit to how much you can d/l...subject to fair usage.

Just try and get a definitive answer to what is the fair usage amount.

Blast the crafty guys who write out those rather ambiguous fair usage policies.
