I have cable and I wouldn't pay that much for a network card regardless. The little insignia makes the card look cheap. If it was endorsed by Fatal1ty I might think about it. J/K I just wanted to know if it was worth trying to find online used for cheap maybe and if it had any real benefit. Out of 600+ games in the last few months on StarCraft, I have only 5 disconnects, and that's before I finally got Charter to fix my cable after about 10 service calls. I wonder if more modern games would create more disconnects.
