Is 25mbps good enough for gaming

Going to have to go with Comcast and was wondering if that's fast enough. My condo has free wifi so I'll use that for my phone and tablet but it's way to slow for streaming and gaming. Wanted to get the bundle with HBO and 39.99 sounded like a good deal.

This is the speed I have for ATT Uverse and I've never had issues with gaming/streaming. Though I try to have a direct connection to the devices I'm gaming with (i.e., to my PC and PS4).

Yeah I have no choice though. Also it's no contract so that's a plus.
Also definitely doing direct connection. It's going right by my entertainment center so I can go wired, might need a router or something for my multiple consoles though.

Unless I want dsl, Comcast is the only cable Internet provider here.

Gaming really uses very little bandwidth.
Downloading and streaming are what eats bandwidth

Comcast is all we have here as well. They suck as a company.

So is that good enough for Netflix? I don't have cable so I stream a ton of shite, and ESPN on the Xbone.

It's plenty. Just don't steam Netflix in HD if you have a data cap

Heck yeah, I remember doing Quake and HL over dial-up with gamespy. It worked

Ew. Gaming on dial up fricks it up for everyone else.

I would shoot myself if ever had to listen to this again to connect to the internet.

I used to game without lag on 3 (paying for 6 of course) in the country.

Damn you AT&T DSL! Lived there for 3 years and they finally got around to installing Uverse a week before I moved.

It is more than enough. There was a while where I had a faulty Ethernet cable that dropped our speed down to below 10, and it still worked fine 80% of the time.
Once I wised up and checked it, I got back up to the 25-26 range and it never has an issue.
