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.

Online poker uses little bandwidth.
You may have to cut down to having just 2 or 3 Youporn videos running while you play though.

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: http://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange_searchStick in your postcode, click on the exchange, and look down the LLU list. Have a shop around from the providers on the list. Probably worth checking with BT whether you can get Infinity or anything else quicker. Or just go with MrT's advice. |

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.

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me i didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life.

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.. |

Give the neighbour 4 tins of Fosters and ask them if you can have their WEP key to use in emergencies.
