I sometimes play at work with just a regular T1 line (1.44 Mbps). No problems even during a ship raid.

Guess again. Due to my distance from the switching point, the best DSL offered to me is 768Kbps and I only get a fraction of that in practice. CoH works fine. If you were on DIAL-UP, you'd have to avoid some types of content. Once you get past maybe 150Kbps or so, you're fine.

I play just fine on a DSL connection that runs about .7 Mbs.
For that matter I stream movies just fine on it too.
Where the increased speed would benefit you is downloading large games or movies regularly.
And really the game itself will run fine on dialup. Ie 56K. Its the patching and downloading where the speed of your connection really benefits you. The ads about how fast such and such an internet service is are pretty much deceptive because very little besides downloading actual files needs very high speeds.

Cool beans. Just goes to show how much I know about internet speeds. :P Thanks a bunch guys, you saved me $40. I can't really download stuff anyway in the dorms, and since streaming will work just fine on the lowest, that is what I will go with. Thanks!

I played on dial-up for a year and a half. Father_Xmas still plays on dial-up, as far as I know. You're limited on some content (I can't imagine trying to BAF on dial-up) and patching is atrocious, but otherwise is generally OK.
So yeah, keep that $40. lol

(Side note: not sure if this belongs in this forum, but it is a question I need answered to play)
I am moving up to college again in a week, and they changed their possible internet plans from one single plan to a tiered service. Problem is, I don't know much about what I would need to stay away from a terrible connection.
-Option 1: 1Mbs (I assume this just will not work)
-Option 2: 10Mbps
-Option 3: 15Mbps
I was going to go with option 2, will I have a problem with speeds while on CoH?
