the BEAST connection
Ooooohhh yeeahhhh.....even though it's the work's new fiber line, I'll be bringing in the xbox every now and then just to try it out! LOL!
and feel free to rip on the shitty IE browser! I was at one of the work stations when I ran the speed test.

YOu most likely won't notice any diff playing at home vs at work on that monster bandwidth unless your home bandwidth is pretty low. Games don't really need that much bandwidth to work unless you're hosting. Now if you want to host private matches, that's an awesome connection. Rainbow Six used to have a dedicated server mode so you could put an xbox at work on that line with a game in dedicated server mode then connect to it from home. That would be killer, but they don't have that option anymore. I think Section 8 was the last game I remember that had a dedicated server mode built into it (the release version not the xbla version).\r
I am jealous. Having a upload of .35Mbps just sucks.
My home connections isn't bad either: 16down & 3up. But, I see what seems to be either bottle-necking or something quite a bit from our service provider. I can be in matches with people with less service our of Kansas City and their connections is great and mine will be jumpy and crappy. It's worth a shot and since there's a group of us from work that play...I'm just thinking host connections would almost be guaranteed with that type of speed/ping. One things for sure, it beats the hell out of our old connections here! hahaha!
