Minimum Internet Speed Required for Poker?
Search came up empty.
Wonder if anyone could tell me what the minimum connection speed you need is to play online poker - say PS and FTP at the same time with PaHUD and PT Running and browsing 2+2 at the same time? (I currently have 5 Mbps) With the new FCC regulatin opening up the market to competition most everywhere in the US I have a few alternatives now and was wondering what the slowest speed is that will work? The options offered by AT&T are 768 Kbps / 1.5 Mbps /3.0 Mbps / 6.0 Nbps. THanks |

768kbps is more than enough for poker. You probably won't be very happy with your file download speeds, though.

Thank you.
Would having Instant Messaging as well as PA + PT running make a difference? (not really sure how much if any PT and Pahud are a drag on the Internet speed, but have heard IM takes a decent chunk....) |

Re: Minimum Internet Speed Required for Poker?
Poker and instant messaging make minimal traffic.. you could easily do both on an old modem with 4kbps.. so yes 768kbps is loads of room.

I seriously doubt it would be wise to try and play poker on an old-modem. Minimum DSL imo.
