Upstream and online gaming

Jun 21, 2006 1 Replies

I have a cable ISP, and my upstream is capped at 122.62kbps. I was wondering what the ideal upstream is for online gaming? I play namely, Quake 3, Battlefield 2, Jedi Outcast, and most Steam Games. How much bandwidth do those actually require on the upstream side?



A more important question is what kind of latency is there between you and the server. If the latency is too high, it doesn't matter how much bandwidth you have.
