Good day. My school has 2 seperate DSL Internet connections. One for the teachers and one for the students. The students line is always slow cause i mean many computers are hooked up to that line where many students use it on different levels of the building. I would like to know if game multiplaying between students who use computers on the same network takes away internet connection from a person who is trying to use the web? Basically can game multiplaying affect internet connection over a network? Thanks. Laterz

yes it does slow it down...and i would recomend that if a school is going to have a wireless network that more than 10 people connect on to have a T3 internet connection or faster.
T3 = 10 MBs
DSL= 0.50 MBs

If the game sends out packets OVER the connection, then Yes. If this becomes a problem talk to the network admin about QoS (Quality of Service) or possibly blocking the ports that the game requires though some type of firewalling software.
