Is axxess good enough for gaming

I am a heavy Gamer is axxess 10mb good enough to game all day then download a 2gb movie overnight thanks

One of the most important things to consider with gaming is whether or not you'll be playing on a shaped or unshaped account
Unshaped is better than shaped but also costs more.

2048 / 60 = 34
So at full speed, a 2gb movie will take around 34 minutes to download on a 10mb line (not overnight)

Why do you want a 10mb? Even a 1mb should be fine, judging from what you've said.

I currently have a 1mb mweb account but I get major lag I can still get kill streaks ect but it kills the mood I wanto have the ultimate experience and I mean like if I download a 7gb xbox game and 3 2gb movies in one night will they throttle the crap out of me

Unless you're playing games hosted internationally you shouldn't be getting a lot of lag. I take it you're gaming on an xbox? If you aren't playing locally hosted games, head over to the local xbox forums and add some players to join local lobbies.

Mweb's Acceptable Usage Policy is one of the best out there. Are you currently being throttled? Can you post both local and international speedtest results?

If you want the "ultimate experience" I'd suggest staying with Mweb when upgrading to 10mb. That's if you're willing to pay the exorbitant monthly fee. Although 10mb is a bit overkill imho.

Nope always play mweb or IS or vodoo servers yet still lag all the time I play on PC

Lag in online games isn't dependent on your line speed. If you're getting crappy lag on a 1meg line, you're likely going to get the exact same speeds on a 10meg line.

[psychogenik]

Still don't have much to go with here. Can you post a speedtest result?

[Graal]

Also, do a pintest while you're at it, so we can see what your latency and the jitter on your line is. Try both an international and local test.
