Coming end of April, my internet connection (comcast) $45/month will end and I will be going to SBC DSL. I do not know which connection to choose. If I am planning on just using the internet to view videos on youtube, watch movies online, email, and instant message what package should I purchase?
Basic DSL $19.95/month Downstream Speed: Up to 768 Kbps
Upstream Speed: Up to 384 Kbps
Express DSL $25/month Downstream Speed: Up to 1.5 Mbps
Upstream Speed: Up to 384 Kbps
Pro DSL $30/month Downstream Speed: Up to 3.0 Mbps
Upstream Speed: Up to 512 Kbps
Elite DSL $35/month Downstream Speed: Up to 6.0 Mbps
Upstream Speed: Up to 768 Kbps
Now if i including gaming such as wow, bf2142, tf2, l4d cs:s games like those need what type of a connection?
Comcast here in the Bay Area of CA has been very slow, I believe for the $45/month is advertised as up to 15Mb/s <- during off peak times I get about 5-8Mb/s and during peak times when everyone comes home, the internet can get so slow I will need to refresh the page to load it and sometimes requires me to power cycle to modem and router.....
Unfortunatly, internet is one of the things we are cutting back on and with dsl I will not be sharing my connection with anyone except other people in the house. Does this mean the advertised 6mbps elite DSL connection will be around the 5-6mbps 24/7?
