1 mbps up , 10 mbps down.

This is all I can get at my new house on a remote island as there is only 2 ISP's who could deliver internet to my new home and that is by Telephone Wire. :/

Well, those speeds aren't great. And I figure your remote island may be far from servers from which multiplayer games are based. I do not anticipate you'll get good ping in many games.

edited: very good -> great, sorry I guess I'm spoiled by my ISP speeds. Those are decent speeds.

Take it from a guy who lives 200 miles from the Arctic circle...Your download/upload speed doesn't matter.

It is a question of latency/ping. I have the same speed you have but my lag is 600ms to the west coast and 700ms to the east coast.

I'm ok with MMOs. First person shooters are out of the question (servers kick me off automatically for high lag), World of Tanks is playable but only as arty and tank destroyer (snap shooting requires cooperating enemies).

I wish you better luck than me

Rubbish, Ive played big multiplayers with no problems at all with very similar connection speeds. I do however usually get a ping <40 in most games, often <30
