Cable Connection Speed

[Nick-Zack]

I currently have the 5.0Mbps service from my cable company for $44.99 a month. If I lower the speed to 1.5Mbps for $29.99 or even 96Kbps for $19.99 will it be terribly slower?

I am trying to lower my monthly bills but don't want to have timeout issues when playing poker. My desktop is hard wired to the router, I have 2 laptops that are wireless and my Tivo is wireless.
