I was wondering if I can expect the connection to be slow while running two 360's with online games, and perhaps one of the two computers always on. I am considering upgrading to 5mbps or even perhaps 10mbps. . .but I dont know anyone that has done this and I am not sure how much of an increase it actually is. Any input is greatly appreciated!!!

If you are using a cable modem with a router, there is no use upgrading, because a cable modem limits speeds per download or upload...in theory...you should be able to have 8 or more computers all downloading at 3 Mb at the same time...so unless you need to be at the 5 or 10 Mb levels, don't pay any more than you are now

first of all if your talking online gaming through the internet you can only go as fast as your internet provider find out there specs and go from there, now if your talking gaming between machines on an internal network than go with 100mbps as a min. or do like I did and spend 90 bucks on a linksys 1gbps switch and the cards for your systems are 30 bucks or under for each one, and wow that is speed talk about moving info across a network for very little money that is the ticket. one gigabit per second rules
