I play with 128k and is more than good almost anytime, but if you have your connection shared (xbox & PC) then you'll get lag if you use it at the same time, lag is the loss of data packages thru the web, maybe you have an excellent latency, but remember, the wider your connection is, the lowest package loss.
Latency is the time a package of data is sent from your computer (or xbox) to another computer, and back to you. An optimal latency value is >100ms (miliseconds), but the latency can be affected by several causes, like data traffic, location between computers, kinda connection (satelite internet has elevated latency), server saturation, etc... So you won't get an excellent connection all the time, if you want to check your latency, ping, and upload/download speeds, go here, or if you just want to make a ping test (ping is the measurement of latency), go to Start/Execute/cmd*
Then write: ping[space][IP adrees or URL]*
*Means enter.
When Halo 3 is released, I will be enjoying a 1.5Mb internet speed, and will be able to throw the granade when I press LT, not a half second later.
