    Internet speed required for two comps to play WoW?

    Ok I am looking into buying a house.

    The problem is the area does not offer cable internet.

    Both my wife and I play WoW, what type of internet connection would we need with both of us playing at the same time.

    Right now w/our current internet we have

    Download 17.71 Mbps Upload 2.04 Mbps

    Runs fine with that more often then not.

    The provider we found w/the possible new house says they have

    Download 12 Mbps Upload 1 Mbps

    We receive probably 90% of our entertainment via the net (both of us playing WoW son watching Netflix etc)

    So if this isn't going to work it is a deal breaker on the house.

    WoW takes very little. I imagine 1mbps DL you wouldn't struggle...

    Netflix on the other hand will eat at it.

    I'm not sure. The house I grew up in got like 150kbs. We could run about 2 things on net at a time. So it should work

    I have upgraded Verizon Fios where I live. We currently have 4 people using the internet at any given time. My husband, son and I play WoW at the same time, while also using our laptops, tablets and other things on the wireless connection and I never have lag. I also on occasion run 2 wow account from my machine and dual box without any problems.

    I am not sure if your in the states or not but if you are check Verizon out.

    I will look into it. Since the town is a black hole regarding cell service not sure if Verizon would work.
