Is this internet speed fast enough for gaming, because people say that this(http://i1194.photobucket.com/albums/aa370/xerb213/Capture.png) internet is too slow?

LOL, nice. That is not from a home network. You just went to your employer which most likely is a large corporation which usually have very fast speeds.

However I'm willing to bet my home network connection is faster than yours if you are trying to compete.

No, you usually needs speeds around 700Mbps down and 500Mbps up. Maybe you should think about upgrading your equipment.

Running off wireless too and I think someone else in the house is using the net, but still. Nothing to brag about, by it gets the job done for what I need.

^Very general statement. I agree, but your speed also depends on how many users are on your network. If you have one user and soley play games while NOT downloading other stuff, I think a quality 5-10mbps download would be enough.

There is also the quality of your connection...how consistent it is, jitter, ping...etc...similar to what pingtest.net shows.
