Title: Internet speed requirements... Post by: mondatoo on July 03, 2012, 02:29:14 PM I'm moving house next Saturday and the place I'm moving to isn't great for internet speeds. I can get 5.4 Mbps - 10.6 Mbps with Virgin with an average speed of 6.5 Mbps, bt is slightly slower. Will this be suffice for me to 24 table with alongside running tableninja and Holdem Manager ? Or is it possible this could cause problems ?
Thanks. Title: Re: Internet speed requirements... Post by: AndrewT on July 03, 2012, 02:51:52 PM Online poker uses little bandwidth.
You may have to cut down to having just 2 or 3 Youporn videos running while you play though. Title: Re: Internet speed requirements... Post by: mondatoo on July 03, 2012, 03:01:37 PM Thought it would be ok, cheers.

What is the best dongle deal for me to take out just to act as backup incase internet goes down ? Title: Re: Internet speed requirements... Post by: rex008 on July 03, 2012, 03:04:24 PM If Virgin are offering you speeds like that, it can't be a cabled area, and they'll be effectively reselling a BT line. It might be worth going around other providers. Best bet is to go here:

Probably worth checking with BT whether you can get Infinity or anything else quicker. Or just go with MrT's advice. Title: Re: Internet speed requirements... Post by: hector62 on July 03, 2012, 04:16:35 PM If you want dongle just as a back up then you want one that you pay for an amount of data e.g. 9GB and it is active for a period of time rather than one that you pay for monthly. I think 3 maybe the only supplier that do this kind of deal. Avoid Vodafone like the plague though.

Title: Re: Internet speed requirements... Post by: mondatoo on July 03, 2012, 04:34:40 PM A PAYG one with 3 is £100 for 12 months, I'd be better off just having a monthly one right ?

PAYG broadband sim is approx. £75 for 12GB data for 12 months. With the monthly deals the data expires after a shorter period of time if you dont use it.. Title: Re: Internet speed requirements...
