Hell a guy asked me in COD4 the other day why my ping is so low. Turns out he is physically closer to server, using the same ISP and on a 4mbps line (vs my 384k) and yet his pings were substantially worse.

The main factor is the ADSL exchange (for local gaming) and the ISP (for intl gaming).

Despite all of the above 384k sucks whichever way one spins it, so if the money is there then 40/10mbps ftw.
Surely you mean 4/10mpbs
