playing online games, for example Tf2

does it matter how fast your internet is?? i would realy like to know thanks.playing online games, for example Tf2
Yes, but you don't need ridiculously fast internet to play most online games at their full potential. It's more about how close you are to whatever server you choose to join. Of course, if you run into a more recent game like TF2 with 56k, chances are things won't go too well for you.playing online games, for example Tf2

56k is basically what you would call dial-up. To test your internet speed, I would recommend speedtest.netSpeedtest will probably give you more reliable information on specifics of your internet speed and connection than I can.
thks ill post up my speed in a while so someone call tell me if its good.:)
56k(slow not good for games) is thru your phone line. ....broardband(fast for games) thru cable.
