Re: Gamer/Multi-User Question reg Comcast HSI vs DSL If it makes you feel any better, I have had 2 instances of utorrent active while gaming/downloading and I don't have any problems. The 1 thing that it DOES affect is searching for servers on the games I play. Modern Warfare is the worst, but there are a few times that it takes some time for steam (CS:S TF2) to pull up servers. If I shut down 1 instance of Utorrent it clears up the problem. This is on the 16/2 tier, but when I had 8/2 I had the same results.
Anyway, I wish you the best of luck with whichever ISP you decide to go with. BTW, this is all with no QoS. I just set a max limit to connections on Utorrent and limit the speeds to say 80Kb/s for each torrent instance, and game with the remaining 90Kb/s. Pings stay consistently lower then 60 unless I am playing on an east coast server. |

Audubon, NJ | Don't completely saturate your connection especially upload with one instance and you'll be fine. If you saturate your connection no matter what type it is, everything will go to crap. |
