    Hello I have a basic internet connection, 320 Kbps DL/ 240 Kbps UP and I want to upgrade it. I have 6 other systems in my house and I don't know which connection speed to choose here is my list I got from my ISP and I don't want to host any major gaming servers just be able to play my game while someone that is surfing the web don't bog down my game play (LAG). :D

    1 Mbps DL/ 320 Kbps UP.
    3 Mbps DL/ 512 Kbps UP.

    lol... i live in Montana, but i'm sure you could probably get cheaper prices if you had comcast, bresnan, or any other Cable/High-Speed internet combo. I also thought $49.99 was expensive for internet, i stand corrected.
