    The only reason i want Broadband is for playing games online with Live and the PC, so If i went for a Service which has a cap such as Eircom, IOL BB or UTV Would i go way over the cap limit? I dont play Online to much a day maybe 5-6 Hours Max. I tend to play BF1942 and Mohaa, maybe Wolf

    Thats a fair amount ;)

    As Dustaz said you shouldn't really reach the cap limit (32v32 bf1942 takes a fair whack tho if u set it to dsl rate). Only way you would is if u played a huge amount of bf1942 and dlaoded a few large patches. I wouldn't wory about it tho.

    I know im just to lazy to search the all the pages i gave up on page 7 :( . But yea i can imagine BF1942 on 64 people can take up alota MB. But the chances on finding a low ping 64 people server is slim and none. i find 20 VS 20 is all you need really, 5-6 hours on the weekend that is, on weekdays im to busy and usually get only an hour in. Oh yea and one off the topic Question Will a GFX 5200 128MB be ok for HL2? I dont got the money for a GFX Ultra 5900 256MB.

    Thnx,
    Storm.

    Depends on what cpu/ram you got in the machine if that would be suffecient. I do believ however that the card you said is the MX version and thereforce cack.
    Not sure what to reccomend as ive kinda lost touc with gfx cards over last couple months. Lots of threads on gfx cards tho.

    The important question is not how much BF1942 and Mohaa will use up. It's a 12 month contract. 8 monthes from now, you'll most likely be playing HL2 and Doom 3. You don't know yet how much bandwidth they're going to use up.

    The 5900 Ultra is the only decent card in the FX line imho. If you can't afford it, get a Radeon.

    The only reason im sceptical about netsource is that the past problems it has had, i dont know about the Netsource pings either are they like Eircoms or IOLBB?
