Fezmid Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 It shouldn't matter (except possibly the latency), since your broadband will be slower than your wireless connection anyway. Try it out to make sure though. I did not consider that I did it wireless, I'll have to try it again hard wired.

I considered that, but since the upload and latentcy are about the same, I feel it's a decent comparison.
DrDawkinstein Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 I considered that, but since the uplaod and latentcy are about the same, I feel it's a decent comparison. indeed, for the sake of this very scientific experiment being conducted on a football message board, it is certainly "good 'nuff"
