More Bandwidth?

I'm wondering if I upgrade my broadband service from 1Mbps to 6Mbps download & 126kbps to 512kbps upload if it will make a noticable difference. I tried this on my old rig with less demanding games, but didn't notice a difference to justify the extra $10 a month.

Not sure, but man after seeing that other companies charge for that kind of upgrade, makes me glad I have Comcast. Think they've upgraded theirs to better than 4mbs and did it for free.

I'm only paying $28 a month for service now, if I upgrade it will only be $38 a month without the "Jack Your Price" game.

I'd doubt it'll make much difference. They'll only send so much information to down your pipe anyway.

Agreed. Vanguard is technically able to be played over a modem connection which means they cant possibly be sending enough data or requesting enough data from your machine that your existing broadband connection becomes saturated.

The only way it will make a difference is if you regularly have things downloading in the background while you play that Vanguard has to contend with.
