20mb D/ld but the upload is poor compared to others , I think the upload is higher on Virgin Media's 50mb service and should be higher still when they bring out there 100mb service soon.

Looks like I have better upload then I thought

I usually download with 10 mega, and upload with 2 mega, because our ISP changed its provider.

Oh wait - so Ubisoft can say see most people won't need to worry, cool idea.

Even though I meet Ubisoft's requirement for a constant high-speed connection, I ***WILL NOT*** put up with their DRM/OSP shenanigans. I protest their need for a constant connection for a single player game. I will not be purchasing it.

So that's the point

I have or had good cable. This year they are bringing in a major bypass about 3 miles from me. A large neighborhood went up down the road and they had our entire road for miles dug up forcing all us to go on city sewer. During this time my cable seems to have been out more than in as they cut and rework cable lines
.
I cuss and holler. Obvious, it's not the full fought of my provider. I've been offered no money back, rebates, ect...I even got so mad I dropped my internet and went to basic cable during this. I use a cheap broadband card. It's be another 6 months until they get done and I tire of the excuses.

Just think, I could've bought the game and seldom played it...I may buy it later in a bargain bin, but even when my cable gets worked out I wouldn't as a matter of principle.
