Title: Powerline Internet (What type of adapter to get)
Post by: Cerezoss on September 11, 2009, 11:56:29 am

No clue if anyone here has a clue of what I'm talking about, but here goes.
I've got the choice from 14, 85 and 200 Mbit, but to be honest, I don't know
how that will affect my internet.
In terms of realism, I'd propably never download something over 14 mb per seconds, but then again,
I also play games, but I don't know how tall the transfer speed is.

I'd just like a hint on what I should take, and please motivate your advice.

get the 200, chanes are it will be way slower then you think.  if it was to powerful they wouldn't offer it.  unless it say for buisiness? still get it!

We are talking about he link sys adapter right?

Get the 200 or whatever, you limit by your ISP anyways ( unless transferring from comp to comp)

Well, I'm never transfering from comp to comp (I have folder sharing turned off) and my ISP gives
me like, what, 25mb per seconds?

Well, I talked to multiple people (about 12 non gamers) about this, and many other gamers who use it -many as in 5 out of 7 who use
the Adapter say that an 85 Mbit adapter is all I would ever need.
The other 2 used 200 Mbit ones and never faced problems just like the 85Mbit users, so I guess I'll opt for the
cheaper ones.

Also, I'm going for BlackBase, and I'm going to see how much fail it will give me,
although I read some review about it (possibly fake, though) it seems like a decent product.
